There is at least 20 in your rock for every one you see. Look hard enough and you’ll always find more. The worst time I had them I found loads of them in a sump that didn’t even get light from the room, they were completely clear from lack of light.

As rough as you can make it. I take a hole saw and go to town. Make it as rough as you can...

Yes, that’s a good point. Stay away from camel shrimp! They look similar but will pick at coral.

On the scrubber screen... What do you consider a long time? Usually you start to see growth the first week. Every week there should be more (nutrients permitting). You should scrape it weekly regardless otherwise the the underside of the algae spots that have growth will start to die and will...

I’m not advocating that you should use any of it, but I would.

Lmao, I gave away one of these. It was picking at my acans, the little jerk was a model citizen when it left my tank.

Haha bro, organized would prolly be the last word I would use for myself!

Could you use a chaeto reactor?

Aptasia. If you do any additions and don’t quarantine in this hobby, you’re guaranteed to get them. peppermint shrimp and berghia nudibrachs are your best bet for eradication in my experience. The peps will keep them out as you bring new frags in too. I was able to get them all out of my...

I had to up the dosage last night. I'm now at enough LC to bring phosphates down by .12ppm per day. At least this is a fraction of the cost of gfo...

I know his name but never watched any of his videos. LC is for phosphates. I'd be in trouble if it was for nitrates, lol I'm dosing a ton of nitrates.

As soon as it's all plumbed in the action will start. I hope to have some BIG pieces to trade with you guys!

I finally moved from gfo to lanthanum chloride. It’s been a few days since the switch and I’m still trying to get the dosing to match the need better. I’m currently dosing enough to drop .10ppm pm daily. I think I’m about there. Im diluting with RO, and spreading the dosing through the...

So I haven’t plumbed in the new tank yet, but soon. The drain is built and needs to be glued and mounted to the wall. I think I’ll drill the tank this weekend to get it ready. A new klir7 will take the flow of the 4 frag tanks, algae scrubber, and chiller. Once the new tank is running I’m...

I had a similar unit. I replaced it with a diy version made with 1 inch pvc that had much more flow and included a bypass for possible clogs (long story, but it all flowed to an algae scrubber), It worked great for a decade, but even with an aqua lifter running 24/7 to maintain syphon it always...

Good luck with the sale and move!

Agreed, you’re fine because of your quick response.

I also think you’re probably good. Just stop dosing and let it drift down to the wanted range.

I haven’t, but sounds really cool and I hope you detail the process here!

Almost forgot, also a curve 9 skimmer running 24x7 skimming somewhat wet.
