Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I've got some pods multipliying in a bucket. Picked up a bottle of 500+ a few weeks back, filled 2g with 1.023-4ish water, dumped the pods in. LEft them out in the chilly back hall.
I used common spirulina powder (human sourced from amazon) to keep the tank light green in color as food.

Vibrant does well with most algae, I've used it recently to clear up a bad turf algae outbreak. Like, really bad, and it saved my tank.
Dosed to directions, repeated 1x per week over 4 weeks (no water changes), blew off rocks daily, hand molested the dying algae I could reach.
Worked well, but...
Ran Maxspects, Kessils, and AI Hydras. Hydras are my favorite, so much so that when I upgraded lights I sent my 26s in for an upgrade to the HD versions.
I have 3 HDs over a 110g (4' wide, 2' deep) and have to dial them back a bit. SPS grows without a concern. As MT said, you'll need 2 over a...
They're doing a BOGO on a load of items, plus, if you sign up for their club they'll send you a free jar of nano brine.
Just got 2 16oz jars of the 5280 mixed pods plus the brine for $45 with 3 day delivery.
I got an Aqueon 29g, 30.25" x 12.5" x 18.75", very newish.
From what I understand they only use non-tempered glass in all tanks under 40g.
Yours if you want it, just gimme a call or text (I'll be out a lot today).
Thanks to all involved.
Nice, small gathering, sponsors seemed to do well, and folks had a great time, including my crew.
One problem stood out. Though I bought $40 worth of raffle tickets, I didn't win anything. Who do I contact for a refund?
Just so happened to pop up on R2R today, affordable light comparisons...

Heya O, Welcome back!
Im running a 120 using a Coral Box 500 skimmer, its DC, quiet as a mouse, and its a BEAST, like it over the Reff Octos I used to swear by.

Circulation I'm running 2 of these, the 15 version...
Shifted them both over.
All looks good atm, we'll see what happens over the next week or two.
Edit: Dwarf Flame Angel, which has never had a problem with the initial clown, is now very aggressive towards all 3 clowns.
OK, let me begin with this...

Now we can move on.
Here's the scoop.
I have 2 small percs in my xenia and mantis shrimp tank.
The tank is not very exciting in that there's just xenia and a mantis shrimp, which occasionally makes an appearance to glare at me in malice.
I also...
I've got some stuff I keep thinking of selling and its just clogging some shelves. Nothing major, but small and useful - acrylic shelves, small airpumps, HOB filters, etc...
I'll post the stuff in the FTAGH section tomorrow afternoon and will bring to the meet for anyone that needs anything...
Thats quite a sales pitch.
May I suggest...
Re-creation of a classic, same lines and looks without a price tag to break the bank.
Capable of holding its own in any situation, a true survivor you needn't worry about.
Smart enough to identify, and interact with, owner in an aggressively playful...
Dave,I'm doing just that, dissolving each tsp of kalk in 10-15ml of vinegar then adding to the topoff container. This simple drip system seems to be working well enough, though I have to keep adjusting every night to keep drops at one every 4-5 seconds. May just hook the container to a...
Cool deal, thanks guys (and thanks for the offer Matt, truly appreciated, but don't hurt your frags on my account).
I'll slowly increase with manual 2 part dosing over next week or two then adjust drip to maintain.
Turf algae now under control (thanks to water changes, severe filtration, and Vibrant) and tonight I managed to remove most of the debris.
As many of you know I'm a zoa lover and, unfortunately, lost almost my entire zoa collection (rastas, sunnys, chaos, fruitloops, etc all gone) through...
