    Nice acros for a copperband butterfly fish!

    You can train them to eat at night. I keep feeding in the same spot at night and the copper band goes and waits for food at that spot. I think you should buy one from the fish store I don’t think you gain anything by getting a copper band from someone else’s tank. They don’t like change I am...

    Nice acros for a copperband butterfly fish!

    If you want a copper band. I would tell you to reach out to will @ aquatic obsession. He is very good at getting them to eat. You have to feed the tank twice a day with meaty food like mussels/clams. Giving them just mysis shrimp is not a good idea. I also have had luck with feeding the copper...

    Alkalinity concerns

    Instead of dosing why not just do a large water change. It will reset your tank. I like the Hanna i use it to check my trident. I wouldn’t worry about small alk swings. 7dk - 11dk is fine especially for LPs and soft corals. when you get a chance you should pick a doser.

    Apex new sensors

    I agree 100%. I am using the leak detectors and they are one time use. once they get wet you have to buy another at $30 a pop

    "Suitcasing" at RAP?

    people use the show for networking. You have a lot of YouTube people That run their own business and they didn’t pay for a booth. I think the real problem is the show has gotten to expensive for local small frag shops. They need to find a smaller location with a cheaper price. Then they can...

    Ph 5.53/55

    Hanna can be off by a whole point. I wouldn’t change anything. My setup is in the basement so my ph is always low. I open windows/ dose kalk / run a huge skimmer and I run my line outside/ I run a refugium and my ph is low 8-1 -8-2 . So I wish my ph was as high as yours. I wouldn’t do anything...

    Ph 5.53/55

    That ph should be fine. You can turn off your refugium if you have one. You can run it for less hours. Turning your skimmer off will also lower it. What salt are you using? Some salts mix with a high ph. I would also check with different ph probes. in my house I use the apex/ Hanna/ seneye...

    what do you look for in a reef club?

    I think it’s great that people are willing to host and open their homes to strangers. I have been to a couple of meeting and I personally think more people would show up. If we had meeting in a public place. I think it’s too much stress for one person to host. If we find a public space we can...

    what do you look for in a reef club?

    I don’t think we need to re-invent the wheel. I think we can copy what works at other reef clubs. Local Frag swaps / question of the day like reef2reef does. Guest speakers/ personal reviews of products from reefers not sales people. Lfs spotlight videos.

    Apex bewilderment

    Your temp of the tank maybe higher than what it’s program. So it will turn off the outlet if the temp is over 80 I have learned to to let the apex control much. I have my apex just to monitor and not take action. I have it setup to notify me and I will take action.

    T5 hybrid

    Yeah on paper that sound like a good idea. You will have a wire nightmare. with 4 plugs. It’s also cheaper to buy 4 x 61” t5 Than 8 x 36”. I sold my 36” to buy one 61” and now I want To buy another one.
