    Reefi Duo Extremes are gaining ground. I'm starting to see more people post about the luminaire, which is good. Like what@suncrestreef mentioned, I too, plug the lights whenever I get the chance. The word is getting out, Daniel, it's just a matter of time before you have to go back to China and build some more!

    I’d take Dana Riddles review over any other “reviewer” any day....
    curious as to who the “ influential reef equipment reviewer” is. RB?
     
    That would totally suck if RB and the crew would ask for a kickback just to review lighting.

    I've sent an email to them, shortly after@danlu_gt returned from china, they responded with, "we don't review lighting unless we sell them." Wutevs...

    Love rock enhance might be worth a shot. It did seem to loosen a bunch of detritus from my rockwork's insides (blowing with a powerheads after dosing it and mb7 for a few weeks)

    Any ill effects to your corals, mainly sps? I've heard of 'Live Rock Enhance' and been wanting to give it shot.

    Nudi group buy

    I hope you are all enjoying your nudis, I am!
    I have them all in a container in one of my frag tanks. I placed a coral frag that has aptasia and once the nudis has done their job, I'll replace that frag with another frag of aptasia and so on and so on. Hopefully, they'll reproduce in the container, which makes it easy for me to catch them.

    Anywho... If mods want to close this group buy thread, go for it or it can staying open for more discussions/sharing.

    Thanks everyone who participated!

    Nudis are in!

    I opened the box and the bags were quite cold, but the nudis are still alive. I called Salty's but no answer, so I gave them a heads up on the temperature of the bags. They are floating as we speak.... 98b0b91bf5bfbf054a7e45b6507c2822.jpg

    Ok, only 2 people have reached out to me about bringing their nudis to Molokos,@juan and@suncrestreef.

    If there are others that would like me to bring their nudis to Molokos, please let me know...

    For those of you who would like to pick theirs up from my place, PM for address info.

    Note:
    If the package gets delivered in a timely manner, I will be at Molokos, hopefully, between 1 to 2pm. So, if you decide to pick up at my place, I won't be back home until 3pm depending on traffic.

    Thanks again, y'all 🤙🤙🤙

    Please let me know if you want me to bring the nudis to Molokos.

    Nutrients and acropora

    I'm curious if you have any issues with nuisance algae with your higher NO3 and PO4?  The whole reason I try to keep mine lower is to avoid additional algae growth.  I keep my tank around 4ppm NO3 and 0.03ppm PO4.  My corals seem fine with these levels.
    Algae film on glass? Yes. Just like everyone else. I hand clean my glass every 3 to 4 days, though. Algae on rockscape? Yes, but it's not the stringy long stuff, it's the really small stuff that's hardly noticeable. Besides, my tangs just tear it up, like it's nothing. I'm sure, if I lowered my trates and phos, I could probably go 5 to 7 days without cleaning the glass, but I don't mind one bit. As long as my corals are colorful and growing, that's all that really matters. Cleaning is just part of good husbandry...

    Very low no3 and very low po4 are, from what I read in the past, is what one would think to aim for to keep colorful and happy sps. Not so true! It's very difficult to keep trates in check at such low levels. So, people just let it ride with great success. I personally keep my trates around 25 and po4 around .3, not. 03 but .3!
    My acros love the high nutrient levels. They eat it up which in turn, brings out the bright beautiful colors and growth! I'd never thought to keep no3 so high but after chatting with Rudy, he told me his sps vat is running at 20ppm no3. His zoa vats are running at 40ppm! I keep my 8 ft zoa frag tank at 40ppm, as well. I must say, there is a balance between no3 and po4, though. Can't have an imbalance of both or else there'd be issues. Keep Alk high if you're gonna keep no3 high.
    All this being said, it works for me, but it might not work for you. Once you find the sweet spot, keep it there!
    Btw, I dose nitrates (stump remover) and phosphates (tri-sodium something) to keep levels up or else, my corals suck it up like no other...

    Gumby, if you want to go in on a bunch, I’m in. 
    Chris, how many were you thinking to get?
    As of right now, we need 40 more to hit free shipping.
    @sroberts, were you looking to get 10 more to hit your quote of 20?

    I'd be in for 10 more, myself. Forgot I have some aptasia in my frag tanks and sumps. I'll probably keep 5 of them in a 10gal and try my hand at breeding them.

    I'll post details for payment and where to pickup. I don't know how long nudis will live in a bag, so I'm thinking, they need to be picked up asap once delivered. Everyone, please keep that in mind...

    Thanks again, y'all!

    Dodge,
    I will take 20 for my tank.
    Thanks
    I apologize Steve, I forgot to post another non-member who wants in for 10. So that would leave 10 left for you. I hope you don't mind. If you have any concerns or issues, please contact me via PM.

    Either way, we have a group buy!
