ace hardware has pure ammonia - it's like $3 a bottle but you'll only need a few mls

That’s perfect. The marinedepot advertisement was starting to flood as well but that solves the issue

Could the auction posts be in the sponsor forum? Would suck to lose access to great corals sold locally

Golden basket has it's own subforum in the sponsors section

I hear yellow is the hardest color to keep on acroporas but your corals always have a lot of yellow and oranges. Amazing!

Are you located in Salem?

Rudy,

do you have a mother colony picture of this one?

call the city and find out if they have chloramine in the water. Mine does so I upgraded my 4 stage to a 6 stage. I don't have the BRS 150 gpd upgrade but I regret not getting that. 90gpd is too slow

also automatic shut off is a life saver!

I added the flush valve also

BRS 6 stage 150 gpd with automatic shut off and flush valve is the best value imo. I ended up spending more by doing upgrades on mine and I'm stuck with 90 gpd

you can replace the cartridges if they are bad. Easy to check TDS to see if the catridges are bad

Here’s my new sump set up. No more marinepure spheres, no more reactor. I’m waiting for my custom sump from Charles and I had already bought a kessil h80

also here’s a frag from upscales from last weekend. Doing well!

Quick update. The tanks is now 4 months old. Last month I lost half of my corals and the other half was dying. Sent a icp test and the results two weeks later showed an aluminum level over 100. I quickly removed the 4 quarts of marinepure spheres I had in a sump and did 5 30% water changes over a week. The corals that weren’t competely dead are recovering but aren’t looking good. For some reason, zoas and mushrooms were unaffected. 

Then today, i decided to empty my chaeto reactor and noticed a lot of salt creep on it. Turns out he marinedepot dyi chaeto reactor wasn’t well thought out and the heat of the led strips cracked the plastic. Could have been a disaster but looks like I caught it in time. 

Florida already has all the good stuff. These frags need to stay in OR

Amazing corals

I’ll take it if it’s still available

Mine didn’t for a week when i got it. Now it’s a little pig

$20

That is awesome. Our own frag auction!

Wow you really want this lol

I buy from Rudy on a regular basis. Some of the corals I picked up from “ frag auction place” on facebook

I also got a box of fritz to replace my red sea pro. I like the DKH/ca/mag values of the fritz which match my reef better

you could test TDS level of that rodi water. I used his saltwater a couple weeks ago to do a large water change and the corals are all super happy

The teal acro, is the mother colony wild, maricultured or aquacultured?

Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind for the next project

Going to try triton method with my reefer 170 so i need something extremely specific to fit in my stand.  Custom makes more sense

Thanks! I did

I’m looking to upgrade my reefer 170 sump to have a larger refugium compartment. Are there any local custom builders before I order something online? Any recommendations?

Looking for a 17”x17”x17” cube sump with a skimmer chamber, refugium chamber and return chamber
