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.
There will be an RSVP thread up shortly for an official head count.
Just to let everyone know there will be a buffet style lunch served that is free of charge. That is right, there is no cost to come to this event to see an amazing speaker, raffle amazing frags, and have a great lunch.
This is not a split, we have decided to get rid of our orginal RBTA as it is just too unpredictable and a coral killing machine. We are upgrading soon and we decided this has no room in our upgrade plans. This guy is probably 8 inches across when opened up and really is a stunning animal. We...
We have been using vortechs since 2009 when I picked up my first mp10 at MACNA. We ran that pump for years and even at full blast never heard a peep out of it and it still has the original wet side. When we upgraded tanks we picked up an mp20 and again no problems with the pump at all. In...
You are going to have to figure out to get an ro/di unit. Whatever is in your well is going to constantly give you more algae problems, and if you use red slime remover and then do a big water change you are just putting the nutrients right back in the tank.
This event is for the speaker, there are no booths setup for vendors to sell. Some vendors have contacted us around doing a sale around the even and having pickup there. We will be having a nice raffle and of course the second annual frag lotto.
What bulbs do you have and how old are they?
Your photo period is fine, you could probably get away with reducing it as you don't have light demanding corals, but not a neccessity.
Our 12 gallon probably has about 1.5 inches of sand and it is fine. You don't really need to go too deep and especially in a nano where it will take away water volume.
Your other inverts will be fine with the pistol, but in a nano I would probably go with the candy pistol instead of the larger...
You have the right idea when switching salts, small water changes. 15-20g might be too much, for your 72 bow (IIRC) that would be over 20%. You probably want to aim at 5-10g water changes. Also, make sure you are getting 0 TDS RODI water to mix it with. A heater and a pump to mix it up is...
Did you skimmer go nuts? It looks like your ato topped off more than usually which might have lowered your s.g. and raised your calc. However, even if you dumped 8g into a 120 all at once it might not swing it that much.
You can do a few small water changes to bring it back up or lightly...
