Added a new part today. Clearwater CW-100 Algae Scrubber is plumbed and in action! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I have a giant frogspawn colony that is frankly become too big for the area I have it in. It has at least 12 to 13 heads plus numerous baby heads starting. It is about 6 to 7 inches across. It is a beautiful piece and I thought maybe my clowns might like it but is just taking up room that I could put sps in. If your interested make me an offer. Maybe a good sized Duncan colony or some colorful sps, acros, montis, ect...let me know. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Gone to a hopefully better home for it.

I think I saw a couple in a box at Woody's. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

My micromussa never really recovered from the move either. The other stuff looks great though. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

That is an impressive frag! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I got in on the group buy for the red Goni and got a nice big piece. It just doesn't seem to like my tank. Maybe too much flow, too much light, it doesn't like the city of Sandy, who knows. Every day it does not look as good at the day before. If someone would like to come get it and see if they can make it happy it is all yours. I am asking nothing for it but if you feel like throwing in a small sps frag I wouldn't turn it down, if not then take it and make it a happy Goni! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Going with a algae scrubber instead. This post can be deleted! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

So I have been thinking about the Apex and now I am deciding if the Apex is worth the 300.00 over the EL. Are they both WiFi out of the box or does the EL require an additional module for WiFi? I know the answer is somewhat dependant on what you want so I know that I definitely want: WiFi Temp control Ability to control my algea scrubber lighting In the future: Might do a dosing pump Controllable gyre pumps Trident Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I have switched tanks, upgraded ect, at least a half dozen times and when moving everything, sand included, have never had a distinguishable cycle or increase in ammonia, trates or trites. That is just my anecdotal experience though. That being said even if your trates did increase, due to moving the sand, trates are easy control and have a minimal impact on your livestock; whereas, adding new sand, be it dry or "live sand" (which I think is essentially a gimmick), will remove your already successful and established sand biofilter. This could possibly cause an increase in ammonia and trites (much more harmful to livestock). The only true livesand is that that comes from your functioning and successful system......my humble opinion only. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Just out of curiosity why are you leaving the sand behind? The sand is a part of your biofilter. If it were me, and I have done this a few times before, I would transfer everything, sand, water, rock and livestock. Make up the difference in fresh saltwater and cycled live rock. In this way you should have essentially no mini cycle and likely no loss.

You got it! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Just a photo update. Unfortunately just prior to filling my tank with group buys and 10 dollar frags...lol Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Awesome frags! Some were more like colonies than frags. Here is what I was able to get. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

First off I would like to thank Jeff for the insane group buys for the Cinco event. Secondly the frags looked awesome. Thought I would share a few of my pics here and see what everyone's group buys looked like. I was fortunate enough to get the ASD Rainbow Pheonix, Tequila Sunrise Monti, Jason Fox, Candy Apple Reds, Rainbow Acan, Red Goni, and micromussa. Missed out on the Oregon tort and the Walt Disney but the other pieces were beautiful. Sorry my pics are still subpar but it gives you an idea. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Might have to see if I can win it Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Still looking and would even prefer maybe a 5 to 10 gallon. It doesn't have to look great just hold water. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
