    Reefcleaners A++

    Funny you post this, I was gonna start a Reefcleaners thread. I received my order of snails from them yesterday. As you said, A+. I got double what I ordered with very minimal DOA if any.

    Rock scape what you think?

    Agreed on varying height. What do you think about two islands?

    55 to 75 upgrade

    Exactly, cyano grows over the new tips. I'll post a pic tomorrow, I'm at work for the rest of the night. I would like to keep Alk a bit more consistent, but is a .5 swing in a week big enough to cause problems? A box of IO I got has some wacky params. Ca- 360, Alk- 12. I've been spiking my...

    55 to 75 upgrade

    WCs once a week, religiously. The acropower and snow is the only change. All coral got a good Bayer dip before going in. I may back off of the dosing and continue to monitor.

    I have just recently gotten into SPS and I believe I am hooked. Growth seems to be slow but my colors are decent. I tried a couple top-down shots today. I bought this Slimer and Red Planet from Austin(Ahvrivera) mid-February. They haven't grown much but they are definitely encrusting...

    WTB cube

    My brother-in-law is looking to start a tank. He wants a corner tank. I recommended a cube. A corner bow front would work as well. He has about three feet on each wall to work with. What do you have?

    Help !! What is this ?

    Looks like cyanobacteria. Keep siphoning it out. Blast your rocks with a turkey baster regularly. I would also siphon the sandbed during water changes to get rid of rotting food, detritus, etc. Maybe play with your flow a bit to try and keep the detritus suspended to eventually reach your...

    long turkey baster

    I received my Taam Rio coral feeder set today and I'm very happy. I used the longest one to blast my rocks tonight and it work perfectly. No more hands in the tank for "coral feeding".

    Skimmer question

    I cleaned my cup Friday. I'll clean it again today. I could let it go longer but the neck gets really gunked up. I try to keep the neck as clean as possible.
