  1. I see my old coral! Whooo! Please give them a good home.
  2. Scrub that cyano/bubble algae off too
  3. That's not bad. You got it. Personally, I said it before and I'll say it again. There has only been one person in my entire life and that's @badxgillen who can hand dose and do it to a T. Every other professional, has a calcium reactor or doser. We're whimps. Check this out and dose your current amounts divided throughout the day: https://www.advancedaquarist.com/2004/4/chemistry Best of luck!
  4. They rust. Don't worry. It wouldn't hurt to use a zip tie, but I had one for years and it didn't cause issues. To each their own. Save up, try a doser. Maybe go an check the calcium and alkalinity of your salt. See what you think. Consistency is key and once I got a doser. My life changed. Never had to dose and honestly never cared about nitrates and phosphates. I went months without testing my aquarium. No water changes either. Just baking soda and de-icer.
  5. I don't believe the clamp would cause any issues. I bet it's stainless steel, which might leech iron. One thing I was having issues with when I started was how consistent the SPS was getting alkalinity and calcium. I had very similar stats when I started my aquarium, but didn't realize that water changes make it fluctuate a lot. The stats of Red Sea Coral Pro is a lot higher than your aquarium. Maybe try a doser or calcium reactor. You could do hand dosing, but nothing was even close to when I got a doser. I have a strong feeling it's consistency.
  6. Just depends on the metal. If you can identify the metal, we can probably tell you if it is a problem. Iron really isn't an issue, along with many other metals. Copper is an issue. Also, how often do you do water changes?
  7. I saw your boss on this forum. He said you do twice as much work as him. That's why he hired you.

  9. You were so on point with that find. Up here in Washington, over the years I have seen a few of the Sphingidaes. Brought them to show-and-tell as a kid. http://pnwmoths.biol.wwu.edu/photographic-plates/ Moths are cool.
  10. Give a round of applause for: What_The_Frag
  11. This might be too graphic for the nature of picture of the month. Maybe just leave it to the first submission.
  12. Your ferret is winking at you. It appreciates the pillow offering.
  13. Yeah, that stuff happens. I'm sorry to hear it. I remember finding my starfish with one of it's legs dissolving. I was so unsure about what was happening that I didn't know what to do. Then, one day I got up to use the restroom and found my cleaner shrimp destroying the starfish as it tried to crawl away. Hopefully, it will soon subside.
