    Looking for live rock

    If you end up not finding any quality live local, Marco rocks sells nice ocean aquaculture live rock. Ends up being about $16 per pound shipped, maybe cheaper in bulk I don’t know. I ordered a seeding package of it and it was nice quality rock.

    Apex vs Hydros. Salinity & PH

    I run a hydros with a pinpoint ph probe. It's been rock solid for last 6 months. I check it and calibrate once in a while but it hasn't deviated much at all. No idea about salinity because it requires me to either purchase an additional X4 or Launch to get that option. I don't see the value...

    MP Knock Off

    I saw a video somewhere that said the jebao wet side works with ecotech dry side. Ecotech really shot themselves in the foot with their pricing.

    MP Knock Off

    No issues. Have to set the time calibration to utc -4 and it works perfectly. I bought mine from joker corals for $250 shipped. You can get it cheaper on Ali baba. I didn’t go that route in case it sucked and I wanted to return or worst case challenge payment with amex.

    MP Knock Off

    Haven’t tried them yet but I will. I am using a fake radion (A8) over my qt tank and it’s been great. I honestly can’t tell the difference between the fake and the radion g6 pros.

    Has anyone tried this custom coral snow mix?

    3 months is prime time for cyano, even with live rock. Keep the nitrates higher and you should see the cyano clear faster. 10-15ppm. Getting below 5 in a new tank seems to make it worse. I used get cyano all the time in tanks after the first couple of months running lower nutrient. My last 2...

    The coral snow won't make the cyano worse. How old is your tank? was there any establish or live rock/sand added? What are your nitrate + phosphate levels currently?

    Has anyone tried this custom coral snow mix?

    It's totally different. Vodka will fuel bacteria in your reef. Great if your tank is stable + mature with no cyano, with elevated nutrients to fuel the bacterial growth. If you have cyano present, vodka will likely make it worse.If your tank is already low nutrient vodka will make things worse...

    TYREE PURPLE MONSTER -WTB

    Yea prices got crazy on the tyree pieces. I tried one from thirsty back in May but lost it by July. It never settled in. I may try again if I can work something out with him for a larger frag. I think some of these recent wild ones will be damn close when they settle in and grow in tank...

    Is this a recent Solomon island piece or Tyree lineage piece?

    New ATI sunpower 8x80w

    Purchased last winter for a system that I never setup. I ran it to test out bulb combos but never ran it over a reef. It’s been sitting in the box since. Price is $300 firm Welcome to pickup in manahawkin 08050, but I travel north on the garden state often to meet if better.

    I don’t notice much noise from it. I did cut a longer pipe on the inside of the secondary drain of the external overflow to raise the water level in the tank a little. I think that made it more quiet.
