    MrBret did, I think.

    I was saying the pH probe will only cost 325. But, no, I'm not serious. It was a joke.

    I'm going to be gone for a few weeks this summer and I wanted something to monitor the tank parameters while I was gone. Didn't want to drop 699 on the Apex, so this was a no-brainer to try. I'll be sure to give you all a review.

    The pH probe will be available in a month for only $325. LOL

    EDIT: Intro DEAL, that is. Not sure what an insane eal looks like. Wow. I couldn't resist. Pulled the trigger on a pre-order. https://reefbuilders.com/2016/06/15/vertex-cerebra-aquarium-controller-android/

    Ha! I thought the 3D printing approach would catch your eye.

    That's pretty cool, Daniel. What is the surface for the algae? Is that a screen of some kind? I see that Santa Monica 3-D prints screens for this kind of use. http://www.santa-monica.cc/Green-Grabber-screen_p_82.html

    It's a Santa Monica Filtration Drop-In Upflow Algae Scrubber.

    Egads! Look at that algae growth in the scrubber. This is 12 days of algae growth. I wonder how much phosphate is in this handful?

    It was nice meeting you, Erin. Thanks for hosting! Your new store looks great, and was really a nice place to have the meeting. That outdoor area where we did the cookout was perfect. My new additions are all doing very well. And I might have to come back for seahorses in the near future.

    When you run out of room in your house for tanks, you build another room. Genius!

    Double check it with a Salifert Alk test. Sometimes after sitting for a while the Hanna reagent can go bad. If it is correct, slowly breaking bring it back up.

    It's kind of like cleaning teeth. LOL. Nice looking setup, Son!

    I just got some big chunky frags from Cody today too. Cody is the man!

    I've got a rock in one of my display tanks that has green star polyps and then a different color (the one above the gsp) that seems to be less common. I think Robert called them "Fade to Blue" star polyps.
  16. Lexinverts
    Very cool!

    You guys are way too organized!

    I would ditch the tray. If you want a separate system for frags, use a 40 breeder, or something deep enough for good algae eating fish, like a Foxface, Bristletooth Tang, Blennie, etc... I had a frag tray system too, and I was constantly fighting algae problems. It seems to me that all of that detritus in your tray could be largely responsible for the high nitrates. I recommend that you get the Salifert Nitrate test rather than the API, with is notoriously inaccurate. Good luck!

    How many mls of Balling are you dosing for this tank, Jeremy?
  20. Lexinverts
    Here's 10 days worth of hair algae growth in my algae scrubber. Clean it out, and that is a load of phosphate and nitrate that I've scrubbed from my system! I really like this thing.
  21. Lexinverts
    Thank you. You'll get coral burn if your nutrients are low, even with your alkalinity at 8.0. You need to have alkalinity closer to 7.3 if you are running low nutrients---I don't recommend it, since you will have less hassle with nutrients around .08 phosphate and 5-10 ppm nitrate.
  22. Lexinverts
    Mine is chugging right along. I'm starting to see some growth at the edges, like Robert was showing on his frag. It's hard to capture the color of this goni. It looks really purple in the tank, but the pics always come out so pink.

    Mine's in my home RSM 250 (66 gallon) display tank. Flow: Mp10 and Maxspect Gyre 130. Lighting: Phillips Luxeon LEDs via Steve's LEDs retrofit kit. Stock skimmer and Santa Monica Filtration Drop 1.4x algae scrubber for nutrient control. One 10% water change weekly. Triton Elementz dosing via a Kamoer 4 channel dosing pump. Phosphate: .09 Nitrate: 4 ppm KH: 8.0 Mg: 1350 Ca 460 My frag is starting out as two polyps.
  24. Lexinverts
    I've got a decent sized chunk of it. PM me for details.
  25. Lexinverts
    It looks a bit like the Superman Stag that Jeff has been selling for a while.
