Ok great! If they were both available, I'd prefer the USB, but really not that picky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My biggest takeaway from aqua scapping is keeping things away from the glass enough to facilitate easy cleaning. If you're like most of us, reefing takes the back seat to life and if it's hard to do, it won't get done! Just like growing a vegetable garden, things always fill in quicker than you think and I can see an SPS growing mighty close to that glass is a short amount of time!

Well it's time again to test some par. Please put me down for either model. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great! They still work great but I'm switching to T5 LED DIY combo and don't need these two. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That blue jaw was a beautiful fish. Glad to hear it's settling in. Brian, didn't you have a blue jaw early on in your tank? Is it still around? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I treated the frags and colonies both with a melafix bath and the frags recovered quickly but colonies still looked terrible for a couple of weeks and decided to sacrifice them so not to keep spreading any infection. That seemed to contain it. Some other corals like stylo and monti cap started to look infected as well but were all cured by the melafix for the most part. Can you treat the whole talk with melafix? I was just doing a 5 minute bath. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can you frag some of the high end ones and put in a coral QT tank until things start to rebound? It would be like an insurance policy. All my birdsnest started to get funky a while back with something and basically cut a healthy arm off, dipped, then put in another tank. The frags took off but the main colony never recovered. Losing the colony sucks but at least you have a baby to replace it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Tank is looking sweet, love the aquascaping and all the arches. You've got a lot of real estate with that footprint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, those things are small! I just pictured something larger but I had monti eating nudis once and they were pretty tiny. Will they eat full grown aptasia or just baby ones? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, a monkeyboy special. Here is a pic of the faithful sanding day! And the multi function closed loop, power water changer, and tank drainer 3000 I upfitted it with. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All livestock and rock will be living in a big water trough with heat, flow, carbon, and skimmer for several days while I do the transfer and plumbing. I have a 2 year old man! Have to do the transfer during naps and at night! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the offer, but beat you to it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, a few hours ago ordered bio spira on amazon prime next day pickup. Needed 2 bottles, but only 20 bucks. Had a lot of really good reviews on BRS. At least it won't have to sit on my front porch and will be in an amazon locker. Do you think I'll have much of a cycle knowing that my existing sump (full of heated and circulated saltwater), some of my original tank water, and about 50 lbs of live rock is getting transferred directly over? Basically the only thing changing from a 3 year old system is the tank. Maybe I missed the boat on that. The bottle of bacteria was mainly just a safety net. For adding ammonia, will my fish be enough? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, thanks. I'm switching out my 55 frag with a 120 with the same footprint. The new 120 will sit on the same stand with same sump, fuge, etc. I'll be flopping over all livestock, rock, and corals within a few day period. Using Tim's was some cheap insurance in case I get a small cycle. I've heard lots of good things about Tim's so figured I'd try a bottle. I'll probably just do amazon prime 1 day pickup, but was worried about the cold weather. Seahorse doesn't stock it either. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know if a LFS in Portland stocks Dr. Tim's one and only? Need an 8oz bottle. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's pretty cool! The epoxy and cement seems to be pretty solid to hold that cantilever out there like that. Does the hydraulic cement or marco cement work on wet live rock? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never tried the fritz 2 part. Dissolving the ESV isn't necessarily hard, just takes a few days. So if you run out, don't expect to use your new shipment the day it comes in the mail. I dose about 60 ml in a pretty packed 50 gallon frag tank with LPS and SPS. Have quite a bit of rock tucked away with and lots of coralline. Coralline really sucks up a lot of 2 part. It's weird though, I've seen some other really full tanks that just don't use much and others that use a ton. It seems kinda mysterious sometimes. Your tank will be its own unique number and hard to compare. The big thing is to watch for is precipitation. I coated an old tank of mine with precipitation and was a pain to get off. For me, I dose right at a power head in the display or at the entrance to the overflow box. Lots of people dose in the sump and don't have issues, but never worked for me. You could put a powerhead in a chamber and dose there I suppose. Sodium carbonate can spike the ph locally and best to do in small increments in a high flow area. I dose every hour in small increments for about 18 hours over the lights off period to keep ph up at night. Dose the calcium during the day in 2 doses. Probably overkill, but I have pretty high alk and Ca and have no precipitation whatsoever and levels stay pretty stable. I rarely have to clean pumps and things. I use the BRS 1.1ml/min pumps hooked to Apex. I test the alk every couple of days and rarely test calcium. I just make sure to dose equal parts of the Ca supplement and levels are always spot on. Supposedly ESV has magnesium mixed in and was told you still need to add, but I haven't added magnesium in years and it stays in check. Overall I like ESV but it's not cheap. I just have terrible luck with precipitation of the BRS 2 Part, but others love it. But I've always dosed quite a bit for a small tank and may cause some of my issues. Just start dosing and testing and adding and tweaking every few days. Just try not to jigger with the dosage everyday or you'll start chasing your tail. Once it's dialed in, it should stay rock solid for months without many changes. Except recently my phosphate shot up to .24 unexpectedly I think due to dosing fluconozole and alk shot up.

I use ESV and bought the 5 gallon buckets of concentrate instead of the 1 gallon of concentrate from BRS. Hopefully that is what you purchased. The savings have been huge. Took a while to get the 5 gallons of concentrate to dissolve though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
