Damn....glad you’re better Mark. Halfway through your post I had to wash because I just moved a coral, no gloves, not even the lazy rinse-off. Thanks for the reminder.

Also from what I understand magnesium helps keep alk and calcium in balance. If mag is off it can throw either/both off

Dang Mark, sorry to hear. Good luck.

Thanks for hosting! I had a great time at your meeting last year. I’m definitely going to try to make it later in the afternoon, but my daughter’s dance recital is earlier in the day followed by whatever celebration we make for her. So it all depends on how that shakes out. I hope to see you...

Thanks. It comes with a sponge. I have no idea how they’re getting in. Had two fairly large ones in there I found after posting this morning. Running well when I left today, will fine tune later when I can be there longer. May have to add this to my periodic maintenance. Tanks been looking...

I upgraded to a reef octopus hob-90 and have had some problems with it. A few months ago the pump jammed because a snail snuck in; I disassembled and cleared it out, then it was working fine. A couple of weeks ago it overflowed badly, emptying the tank to the level of the intake overnight...

Congrats Dave!

Haha I was waiting. It did eat the whole thing-I was surprised. And no sign that it spit any out. Pretty wild, glad I caught it in action.

Sorry. Didn’t occur to me not to answer but makes sense. My bad.

It was eating the molt of a cleaner. Thought it was pretty cool.

Thanks for the rock Herb. Best of luck breaking the tank down and going forward.

Happy to split with you Diana if you wanted the dry rock

And I’ll take the rock in the garage. Thanks so much!

ive never heard of those in saltwater. How is their temperament? Aggressive at all to inverts or other fish? What do they eat?

Meant to send that as a dm....i don’t need the tank and my wife will give me hell, but someone has to take it.

Working out my weekend....ill be in Cranford Friday evening so maybe can grab it then...what’s your availability? I defer to anyone else interested but I’m blown away nobody’s jumped.

I've read that frag plugs are an area that aiptasia often can be attached to. Technique depends on the type of coral (though not doing damage is not my specialty lol)

Great question. QT definitely is best practice but like most others I don’t. I dip and then rinse in tank , and lately I’ve taken to a short freshwater dip as well (only one minute). I prefer to remove from frag plugs if possible.

I like getting small frags and having them grow in over time. Not only keeps the cost down but leaves room for the reef to grow in. Toadstool has been awesome to watch grow from 2-3 inches to more than double that (and when it flattens out/opens up even more). Mine has standard tan color but...

I’ve been thinking the same thing!
