Well, the saga continues.. 

While inspecting the corals tonight, I noticed what looks like red bugs on my smooth skin acros.  I just sent an order to chewy for some Interceptor. 

 

 

Those look like white bugs. I don't know much about them except that they should be wiped out by interceptor. If you can get the stuff without prazi, that is better.

This Myagi tort continued to decline since my first post. I'll keep an eye on it post treatment. A couple other small colonies RTN'd as well before treatment. 

When a coral is that far gone, it is sometimes a good idea to pull the whole thing. You can always get another piece of Myagi to replace it. I think that reducing the disease load in the tank helps in recovery, even if you are dosing OA.

I'm sorry to hear this, Nicole. I am looking for someone who could help you out for a bit.

It would help if you could provide a list of corals and fish that need to be re-homed

Best,

Andy

Time for an update!

Looking good, Ryan!

It is easier to find Peppermint Angelfish for sale than Steve interviews... looking forward to this one!

Haha....Keith convinced him somehow. I got a sneak peak of Steve's tank video for the Reefbum show, and it is spectacular. You won't want to miss it!

Hi All,

Please mark your calendars. Our next club meeting will be Sunday August 27th at Upscales Fish and Reptiles from 1-3 pm.

We will be announcing group buys and raffles in the weeks leading up to the meeting. Check back to this thread, as I will be posting more details soon.

This is going to be a good one.

I hope to see many of you there!

I have three frags from my mother colony of vivid pink milli. i needed to move it and these broke off. 
3 pictured available. $20 each. 

Those look great!

Looking at all of the data here, the high pH is the only thing that jumps out at me. I would try to keep your pH between 8.3 and 8.5. You might have stressed the corals with the high pH and now you have some bacterial infections jumping around the tank. Correct the pH and monitor closely.

It's in parts per billion. The optimal level (per icpanalysis.com's recommendation is 350 ppb) with the low side at 200 ppb. So this measurement is quite low for Li.

Got it!

Wow. That's a lot of Lithium.

Looking fantastic!

Is this a bristle worm trap?

 

No, it's the pvc fragment I wrap nori around to feed my tangs. I should build a bristleworm trap, though.

Congratulations and thank you to all the nominees.  

Many thanks to all of you. I look forward to working with you this year!

These are from 2014. This was a Red Sea Max 250 all in one system. If I go back as far as @obrien.david.jI would have to post pictures of freshwater systems. This was my first successful reef tank. I started it in 2012 or 2013, I think.

Nice gonis!

I'm one of those people trying out PNS bacteria dosing on my tanks. It's too early to tell if it doing anything, but I am excited about the possibilities. Thanks, Sharokh!

How is the dino issue in your display?

Looking good, Rick!

Hey Andy, do you mind sharing your schedule settings for the reefis? I will eventually make my own but would be awesome to have your settings. I'll be running 4 on a 4x2x2 roughly 16in above water line.

Here are my settings. I still have them running pretty low and I am likely to ramp them up some more.

Headed that way possibly? I could maybe pickup for ya or vice/versa.

If you could pick up for me, that would be great. Thanks!

Holly, I'll take the frag racks, please.

Sure, I'll post them when I get back from camping over the long weekend.
