I will re-build my aquarium within this VR world. Make steps for people to see it, maybe even a streaming camera.

Then make threads for gif of the month and we'll vote on it for the purpose of a PNWMAS aquarium.

A Virtual-Reality just for us: https://decentraland.org/

It's an ad, generates ad revenue, has value AND we can build on it.

My plan is to build a bunch of cubes with GIF aquariums on the surface. We'll see what happens.

Hey Miles - are you coming to the holiday meeting on Saturday?  Might be an opportunity to talk to some folks about the tank and livestock situation.

I have some people from the forum looking to buy and have difficulty with large clouds.

We will see.

I hope all is well. May the clouds be with you.

It's a criminal offence to bend that. Be careful.

 What r u using 4 phosphate removal? I need to buy something  so I was just wondering what the latest and greatest phosphate removal was.  

Refugium and water changes. Used to use Iron oxide/Aluminum oxide, but stopped. 

1)

2)

3)

It looks like babies, but corals are weird. Who knows, except when you see new babies.

Beautiful tank and nicest person ever.

According to these measures, I usually am 20% innocent and 80% guilty.

Fabulous: Sugar and Dye

It doesn't hurt to ask.

old post, but i do know the answer to this one. it is easily regenerated by heating it in an oven to 800C in a controlled environment to prevent it from igniting. tadah!! activated carbon.

I think it'd be shot. Probably make a lot of carbon dioxide at that temp.

It isn't the same as a aluminum or iron oxide (metal) catalyst, but it would probably regenerate a good amount.

I buy cheap un-granulated carbon and throw it in when I see high nitrates, but eventually didn't even need to use it any more. It's also so cheap and bi-product of stuff. You know?

We sure tried, but could not possibly produce enough aptasia.  Even with donations from friends.  These guys have quite the appetite!

I believe it. I messaged a LFS about sending me pictures of their nudi's, rather than buying an assortment that actually doesn't have a food source, and an already short lifespan.

Maybe just see what tends to come in, then go from there.

Back on track:

Berghia Nudibranch Group Buy

I think the best plan would be to not have to not choose my nudes, but find what nudes are available from my local aquarium store.

https://www.advancedaquarist.com/2008/11/breeder

Aptasia would be hard.

Maybe fish eggs? https://www.thoughtco.com/facts-about-nudibranchs-2291859

I'd call it my nudi - bank

I need to find a better food source.

Has anyone tried to breed these things locally?

You know, I've been downsizing my aquarium, but it would be cool to have a nudibranch tank.

I'm going to look into it.

Happy B-Day, Cuddlefish and Corals!

I have a gift for you.

learning from ones mistakes to provide better results going forward; rather than trying to emulate another's success without understanding the concept, your bound to be right back where you started, with less cash and a greater frustration.

-Many truths to this. I learned the most from attempting and failing, than X posts. Honestly, once you have the correct lighting, flow and nutrient uptake (refugium, skimmer, maybe water changes?), calcium and alkalinity dosing. It's really not much more. I only buy food, salt, baking soda and calcium concentrate for pools.

-Also, I bet in the long-run, if the new aquariast brought an experienced aquariast (not me) by for no more than an hour. Every problem could be fixed or a plan could be made. Pay for an hour of any aquarium store owners time (aquarium maintenance fees), it would probably be cheaper and better than Triton.

ICP Testing available to consumers? Yeah.

-It's been around a while, but not to the consumer. Maybe early 90's.

 If you really want to pursue the Triton Method, I would first put in the time researching articles on the subject before spending that kind of money, simply because individuals on a forum may have found success, after all it does little to explain the Science.

-I agree, but does it work? Yes! Ask @Lexinverts  He might know more about Triton. It has the sickest read-outs of the parts per million - parts per billion of almost every element in biological systems.
