Oh, and maybe halve the dose for the first round. See how it goes. I'd hate for you to fry everything.

Gosh. Those instructions are so hard to read. It should say (1mL / 21ppm * 1 gal), but it doesn't. My math worked out to be 262.857mL just like the rest of you. I strongly advise for people to make their own solutions in the aquarium hobby. Not only is it substantially cheaper, but you know exactly what goes into it and can get just about the same accuracy with the right scale. Something to point out, is that the "Potassion" bottle does have both potassium chloride (KCl) and potassium sulfate (K2SO4) in it. Probably to help keep those chloride and sulfate ions in balance. There is a similar topic about magnesium in the general discussion.

Those are amazing prices. I know where I'll be buying my coral this weekend.

That turned out amazing. Seahorses are so cool!

Flipper is my favorite too.

...but it looks like you don't need them anymore.

I totally missed this. To find a place that has a lot of different sized needles you should go to a cattle feed / farm store. Most have needles for animals of all sizes. That's where I used to get my dosing needles.

Here's the link: http://www.pnwmas.org/topic/39558-january-2017-meeting-frag-swap/ You can bring anything you want. Some people bring SPS others bring LPS, some bring small frags others bring larger ones. Anything fits the bill and I am sure you'll find someone to trade with. We are all pretty generous people.

Nice to meet you Alexx! Let us know if we can help, but it sounds like you have everything handled.

That must be a fake. I know Jeff's signature.

****Or the weekend everyone comes into Portland for the January Meeting. That's when I'll be stopping by.

I agree. Just throw it in the back of the tank and see if something comes out in a couple months.

*Bump* Gonna bring a few things. Nothing too special.

If you are starting a new aquarium, this is definitely the place to be. Here is the subscription page: http://www.pnwmas.org/subscriptions/ Although, you can just hangout and ask questions all you want. I even think there is a meeting or two where you could come as a non-member. I will say...members get a free raffle ticket. :3

I thought it would be good to warn you, rather than say never use root killer. Some people out there do things recklessly.

Wait, wait, wait! From my understanding root killer is Copper Nitrate or Cu(II)NO3. If the stuff you buy looks blue, stay away!!! Copper is deadly to almost all lifeforms. Just read the ingredients. It would tell you.

Looking sharp Jeff!

Karen! Happy Birthday!!!! I heard that most fish stores will give you free stuff if you tell them it's your birthday.

I think it is very unlikely that the peppermint shrimp killed the conch. It may have been eating it after it was already dead, but it wouldn't kill it. I have hermits gather on my conch and it jumps away without worry. Maybe the conch just died? Inverts are so hard to read.

That's great. Let's see some pics. I wish I had a 250 gallon tank.

Touche, sir. Do that instead of painting!

Forget what these people are saying. The towels aren't as bright as white paint and it makes it look a little dull. I bet white would be pretty good looking when you paint it on. You could always do a layer of white and see if you like it, then blue if it doesn't work out. I bet white would be pretty good looking when you paint it on.

Here is my Hydra52's.

Glad to see you could make it!
