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 haven't used the caribsea life rock, so can't speak to that. but i am a big fan of than thien's thin super glue and sand method to make a solid structure. it makes some surprisingly strong connections that i haven't had topple.
i'm also a big fan of using a 1/2" masonry bit to drill holes for...
thanks for the update, i was thinking a little bit further north and west than oakland, but good to know. hope your son did well, wrestling is a great sport.
i should have talked to the reef nutrition and dinkins folks, but it was so hard to focus on anything with so much hot coral around.
really saw some amazing chalices at the second or third vendor on the right when you walked in the door. either david's aquarium or rhino reef, not sure which...
its hard to diagnose without seeing stuff. you used the words "regression and then died." how fast did they regress?
i keep different parameters then you do, but if you dial your lights back to 30%, i'd say throw a low light, easy lps frag in there, like a caulastrea (candy can) or duncan, etc...
i hope the light solves the issue for you and it may take a month or more for your toadstool to recover.
i recently put a goniopora in too much light, back in november. it looked okay for the first day, but by the third day the polyps weren't even coming out of the corallites at all. i had put...
i would try turning the light's down to 30 or 35% for a month or more too. not opening sounds like they don't want the light available to me, especially a leather at center. if they open you can work that back up slowly.
it probably won't hurt to run some carbon either, in case the angry...
i've used carbon, regular and high capacity gfo, chemipure elite and phospHATE (lanthanum chloride most likely) all before. with the exception of carbon, i try not to use any of them if i don't have too. i'm only using carbon and sometimes gfo right now. i've also used purigen too, but that's...
i'd take one of each acro a, b, c or d. i'm over in barclay, but realistically probably couldn't pick them up until the weekend. thursday or friday evening might work though.
i saw that up close on friday heading out of inlet. just one of the many fruits of beach replenishment. the corp will pump it back out to where the dredge can pick it back up to put it back on the beach for the longshore current to move it back in the inlet.
i've done the manual removal and added a wrasse to get rid of them before and it works. manually really helps knock down the numbers and the a wrasse like melanurus or six-line will help finish the job. just used a piece of hard acrylic tubing at the tip of an airline hose and started a siphon...
thanks, bigyank, i'll put you down on the list for that and i'd rather not take the sinularia off the tonga branch to begin with. love that you have some to swap
