Is this anemone spawning? Should I do a larger then normal water change tomorrow or double up on carbon in the reactor?

Glad you had a good experience. Hopefully I had just caught them on a bad day and my experience was not the norm. Being the son of a pipe fitter I had remembered going in there many times as a kid, thats why I had given them a shot.

Went to George Morland when I was doing some plumbing to my tank and was treated horribly. Both employees I spike with made me feel as if I was wasting their time. I knew exactly what i needed and even showed them pics on my phone. The first guy kept grabbing me copper and brass fittings from the back, must have told him 3 times no metal what so ever. He ended up getting all huffy puffy and passed me off to someone else. Second guy was just rude from the start. I ended up just walking away and sharing a few choice words on my way out. I will never support them again. Ended up ordering everything online.

Aptasia x or kalk paste kills them too. I get them occasionally in my zoa garden and they always seem to make a few zoa heads melt away.

I have been using the aqua gadget hydrofill. Never had any problems with it.

Pump died on betta falls, Im out

Ive been hit hard with cyano. I have tried manually removing but just keeps coming back. I should have some chemi clean showing up monday, worked great on my other tank over a year ago. Hopefully it will have cleard up by next update so I can continue adding a few corals. Frogspawn and hammer have settled in nicely and opening fully now and mushroom continuing to grow.

According to BRS it works for both checkers. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/hi772-26-alkalinity-checker-reagents-hanna.html

This looks like it is going to be a really cool build. Definitely following.

I have used chemiclean 2 times and never saw any negative effects when using recommended dosage. Cyano has never returned after second treatment over a year ago.

3/31 Update Added a mushroom last weekend, it is looking happy and plump. Yesterday I fragged some frogspawn and a hammer I have in my 170 and threw them in. They have opened a little today but still pretty unhappy. Hopefully they will settle in over the next few days. Later this week I will add some zoa’s to the section with the mushroom. Have a little patch of cyano but it appears to be going away over the last few days

Me (Andy) and my beautiful goofy wife Kayt on our trips to Seattle and Vegas this year. We enjoy kayaking, camping, disc golf, and anything outdoors. I also play my share of video games and drink plenty of ipa’s.

Looking good!

Wish I would have read earlier posts a little closer, didnt see you were doing a betta falls I kind of feel like an [language filter] now. Sorry for doubling up on same tank. I am going for softies in lower section (mushroom and zoas) LPS in center (small hammer and frogspawn) SPS in top left (small frag of branching psammocora and red plating monti). Hopefully can keep up with alk/cal demand with a turkey baster water change every other day. If I cant keep up will probably swap with flower nem.

Lots of great deals pop up here on the forum, just keep your eye out.

Double post.

Heres my pico. Betta falls tank $49.99, 2 gallon total volume. 10w heater $14.39 Light is a e-live led spare I had for my freshwater tank. Not sure if it will be strong enough to grow much but worth a shot. Has 3 blue pucks, 2 cool white pucks and one hd puck installed on it. Pucks are interchangeable and i have a few extra blues and whites I could add if need be. Only thing havent figured out yet is how to mount the light. Probably going to hang it from night stand using a few shelving brackets I have laying around tomorrow evening. total cost $64.38

Does cost of tank count towards the equipment cost? Been toying the idea of picking up a Fluval Evo 5 for my night stand for a while and this may be a good excuse 😉.

“Inappropriate reefer” on youtube has one. Watching his videos had made me want a dedicated tank to keep one. He keeps a freshwater tank for ghost shrimp to feed him. Heres a link to his how to keep video

I was speaking with @albertareef at Holly’s frag sale this weekend and he had mentioned some additive that worked for him. He was unsure of what ot was called but said he would check. I have nitrates around 10 ppm and no matter how may water changes I do they seem to hover right at 10 ppm.

Thank you for the great frags Holly. All the frags and your display tank looked amazing! It was nice meeting a few others from the forum as well.

We have been playing duos and squads almost every night from about 730 till 11 or 12. If you ever want to join our party feel free. My gamertag is OREGONIC.

I play on xbox not pc so theres not much cheating going on. It is definitely full of bugs though, some make for good laughs others are frustrating. They have been doing a great job with constant updates and patches for xbox.

Saw this video today and about died laughing. Very relevant to anyone playing PUBG.
