I will usually let excess food sit a day or so in the fridge. If you want to really do something cool, defrost the cubes and toss what the "correct" amount of a feeding is into an ice tray with some RODI water and freeze that. Then you have your own feeding portions ready to go.
Yeah, I was just texting darren about that. Basically the story behind it goes a little something like this: Steve from Ultra Corals a sponsor on here posted about a sick rainbow chalice he got in and wanted to move. I called Steve and got a price and Darren and I went halves on it. I named...
The two downsides to DC pumps at the moment are not a lot of head pressure and non standard plumbing. Obviously the plumbing part is very easy to overcome, just can be a touch annoying. I think if you are sump in stand, the DC makes sense, but if you are in a basement (like me) the head loss...

The coral plus bulb is a 14kish bulb so that balances out the blue+. The purple plus/KZ fiji pink is really just there for some color pop. I like the combo, probably would align really nicely with the 12-14k looks. I know people love the GE 6500 bulb as it packs really nice PAR, but the drop...
