i've been told lanthanum chloride (Phosphate-e) is bad for your tank. it binds to rocks and contains some pollutants that you can detect from ICP tests

Hey all, I've been trying to grow some SPS but haven't had much luck.. I'd like to continue giving it a try, does anyone have some acros they can frag up for cheap?

hey Eric, when you're ready to make a frag, let me know!

Glad everyone enjoyed it!

In a 90g system, I've got 2 gyres flowing from both ends, running opposite one another + in reverse. MP40 and Nero 3 on the bottom. I have torches in the tank that gets good motion. I'm getting my orphek lens todya for my phone so i can share some pics!

After failing to host acros in both my tanks (10g and 100g).. What do people do to acclimate their acros? How much par do you give it?

What are you feeding? I've found that sometimes, dosing nitrates also help to reduce phosphates a bit. Coral food are extremely high in phosphate, especially powdered food like reef roids or similar products. AB+ is also extremely high in phosphates. Try running GFO, theres also lanthanum...

I can frag some up if you’re interested

hey there, i've got some bambams up for grabs if you want some

Sounds good, just let me know when you want to stop by to come pick up, shoot me a PM

I likely won't be able to make it this time around, but if anyone is close by and wants to grab some to bring it, i'd be happy to pass it along

I’ve had the ai primes (2) over a 32g Fluval flex It wasn’t able to give me higher par than 180 at the top of my water line. I went with eco tech xr30s for my reefer 350 and getting much better spread/par
