    Chalice

    Chalice is very addicting. I have Miami Hurricanes, Halloween, watermelon. I found they do better in my frag tank under cheap led than in the DT with t5. The color is incredible under LEDs

    maxspect gyre or vortech mp40?

    Love the Gyre. Run 150 on one side, jebao wp-8 on the other almost no dead spot. When I run two jebaos I could never get the flow I liked. I especially like the gyre pulse mode which runs 10 seconds then stop for 10 seconds. With a tall tank like the 110g (I assume it's the 4 ft one) it should...

    Deepwater Aquatics BLDC5 Pump

    Stumble across this pump as I look for a return pump for my basement sump. The chart says about 900 gph @10' head yet it only consumes 33.6W. Can you confirm this and also do you recommend this for pressure use?

    Kole Tang - Free

    It's very aggressive. But should be ok with other tangs in a bigger tank.

    Kole Tang - Free

    For the card-carrying members only, before I post it on MR. Have this fish for 2 years. It never got sick also I have not added any fish for 3 months. Please take him only if you have a 6' tank. If it's a 4' tank then he must be the only larger fish in the tank. I love this fish but he does...

    Horseplay's 105g Rimless

    I like it. I use the pulse mode, which runs the pump 10 seconds (adjustable) then stop it for 10 seconds. This gives the corals a strong wave then give it time to rest. The problem is I can only run 60%. The rimless-ness of the tank makes splashing too easy.

    Collecting amphipods

    The copperband must be having a blast with this. I want to try this in the summer. Are you concerned about pollution or any disease might be introduced?

    Horseplay's 105g Rimless

    Have it for about 3 months now. Very robust fish.

    Managing Nitrates

    If you have the room then I would run refugium growing macro. Otherwise look into carbon dosing.

    Horseplay's 105g Rimless

    Time for an update. Removed some rocks to give it a more open look. Sorry for the super blue look. Can't find WB control on iPhone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlM4RoSmRFI

    Par meter

    I found knowing the absolute values of lighting makes little difference unless you already have a very stable thriving system. Corals are quite adaptive. I have SSC in two different spots one at about 300 par the other 800 par and it does equally well. Once you reach that stable stage you can...

    Par meter

    It's nice to have but not necessary until you've already dropped $5k+ into the hobby then the $300 doesn't hurt that much anymore :)

    Can I Mix Two Different Salts?

    Driveway heat is easy to find. Mag flake is not. There is a guy on ebay selling it but he's asking $48 for 20lbs. A quick calculation using BRS Mg Sulfate + Mg Chloride. It costs $1.5 to raise Mg by 200ppm for 20g of water. Mixing the salts: $4 for IO and $5 for RC for 20g. So mixing 50/50...

    Can I Mix Two Different Salts?

    I current use IO and very happy with the performance in general and the parameters are quite stable from batch to batch. I use a 29 gal tank to mix and it usually last two weeks with about 5g left in the mixing tank then I fill up the tank and mix the next batch. IO has the following...

    Going to look into it. The magdrive pump is not that great but I guess you can use any pump.
