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.
Cash is good, Kathy, I'm not fussy :)
Renee, I know I have some psammacora on egg crate and some zoas, I'll have to check to see what else we kept. If you want the psammacora, pick something else you think I'll like out of your SPS & we'll trade. The piece of egg crate is easily 3x3 (probably...
The cards are going out again. Except for the last 2 weeks or so, everyone should have theirs. Members who don't should post in the Member's Only thread. Thanks!
Scuba Dude, LPS generally grows more slowly than SPS and so fragging it isn't as appealing. It takes LPS much longer to recover the look from a peice being removed.
That being said, I may have some frags of chalices from my system move. I'll have to look and see how they've healed to see if...
In addition to the PH pen/meter, I'd highly recommend a refractometer to measure your salt content accurately. They'll run you 40$ or so, but given the costs of the rest of the system, it is money well spent.
I wouldn't get rid of the "dead zoas". Those things have been known to survive days on end in a thermos traveling around the US. Give them some time. Even if they don't live, they'll take back over that rock in no time. Hang in there.
We bought accelerator when we bought the glue through the club group buy. I use it when I'm setting frags, and rarely have a miss-fire. I do wish the glue were thicker though and the next time we buy glue we'll be looking for thicker gunk for sure!
In a closed loop type setup this might work the way you inteded. I'm not sure what size the holes are in the spray bar in my Ca reactor, but those look like a good size. Anyone know what size MRC made the Ca reactor spray bar holes?
FWIW, Bluestraveler (the guy who owned our tank before us) had...
Hydno will spread a web to anything within a 3-4" radius of it. Those zoas behind it may be equally in danger. Make sure it has good clearance. If you can't find a spot with good clearance, I might have one. ;D
Most recent Macro shots are here. :)
I'll take another FTS after I drag up the rest of the corals that belong in the tank. Maybe I'll do some more of that on Friday night. What a process that is! We carried them down in totes, but I didn't like the way they sloshed around, so I brought them...
So you're going to put this spraybar under the rock? How far up the pipes will these spraybar holes go, and how are you planning on stopping the back siphon? Have you tested this to see if the theory will work? I'd be very nervous about having a multitude of holes at the bottom of my tank like...
