  1. I don't think you should be overly concerned. Someone mentioned increasing flow in that area? Have you also tried just cleaning the substrate as part of your water change? I do agree with the macroalgae add, our turbo snails decimated what was in our fuge a few weeks or so after we had spike in nitrates and P04.
  2. @danlu_gt Is this going to be posted on your site 10/9?
  3. I wonder if Zoom or another conferencing tool would work? Just couldn’t exceed 300 people (has a live sale hit that mark yet?) Could lock the meeting to show only your video feed and the chat is in real-time. It can also be recorded for repost to YouTube later... the chat history might be an issue though I’d have to research that a bit. People can be sent invites via email or FB post for security. Just some thoughts...
  4. I’ll come down for the next live sale and help type in names . @Manini and I would be happy to make a trip down to see you guys!
  5. I’ll snag it when I’m in the store today!!! Woot!
  6. Hello all! My good reefing friend has started a YouTube channel called "King Tide Corals"! His channel covers all manners of reefing, from equipment, to livestock and our awesome community! As part of his growing community he's decided to giveaway a Waterbox 10 Gallon cube. Quick message from his post: Excited to announce that once the page hits 1K followers on Instagram I'm going to be doing a pretty awesome giveaway! The prize is...*drumroll*... A WATERBOX CUBE 1O GALLON! Help get the page to 1K and lets get this giveaway going! https://www.instagram.com/kingtidecorals/?hl=en I hope this post is okay here...
  7. I'm kicking myself for not seeing this sooner! @goldenbasketreef Amazing looking corals sad I missed out on the sale!
  8. Would it be possible to pick this up on Friday 9/25?
  9. Can we start another one of these grow outs? I feel like I’m missing out on the action.
  10. Build thread updates: Parameters this week: Nitrates: 5 Phosphate: .5 Alk: 7.3 Mag: 1280 Calcium: 400 Salty: 1.025 What's new?!? We sadly lost two fish in the past month and it's been little bit of a heartbreak. First our Hawaiian cleaner (Density for you Back to the Future folks), our Midas Blenny (Frank)... both wouldn't eat regularly and which lead to their eventual starvation. We tried everything, even isolation . We partially think it was due to us going away for two weekends... makes trying to find a good tank sitter for our next longer vaca. So the good news the tank has been looking pretty good considering our parameters dropping or spiking in certain areas. We finally got some SPS on the left rock!!! Euphyllia: The euphyllia garden is taking off, whatever we're feeding (RS Reef Energy, benepets) is really working. We've had to move everyone else out (except for the leathers, soon to happen though) Mushrooms: Mushroom garden is bouncing around! The new OG gets it's own little glass apartment because it's special. The electus produced it's first baby... I don't know how long it had been hiding under the rock, it's about the size of a nickel. The New Stuff: With every new vacation though there is always a stop at the local fish stores here are some of the new additions either coming out of QT, in QT or resting in the tank: Interstellar mushroom and the "I refuse to anchor myself" Jawbreaker. If anyone has advice on getting mushrooms to stay put I'm all ears I've tried everything except glue. All my normal methods haven't worked. Our meaty Mr. Wellsophyllia who has to stay caged due to our pecking Valentini puffer "Seachicken" Loved this mushroom the moment I saw it... not sure of the name but the colors had me at hello. If you have an ID please comment below. Our fake invader pectinia posing menacingly from it's perch. I've been spot feeding it daily and it's getting bigger... OH MY! What's hanging out in QT?: Derasa clam getting ready to suck some of the Nitrates our of the DT. Deal of the week! The final one is a mushroom rock we found at a LFS for 50% off for $60. I couldn't believe someone hadn't snagged it and then I realized that it was in a tank with red flatworms and vermited snails. Decided that wasn't a deal breaker... got it home, flatworm exited and coralRX'd the crap out of the rock, it's been a few weeks now and it's fully recovered. We have about 30 fuzzy mushrooms on there, this rock will probably never make it to the DT so I'm looking at fragging the the mushrooms onto other rocks. @LRT and @ReeferBlaine ones going to each of you, when I know I got all the pests and if you have the space. Last but not least l finally got a fighting conch!!! Then I realized I probably need to glue everything down in the tank Upcoming: My first frags with the new Grphyon bandsaw! Fish decisions.. .what replaces the Hawaiian cleaner and the midas blenny? Did the clam really lower nitrates? Thanks for reading and following along! Till the next update PS future mushroom rock... should I break it?
  11. Hi All, I'm on the hunt for clean macroalgae any red type is preferable, I plan on being in the Portland area on Friday 9/25 I can meet you at Cuttlefish or somewhere close. Thanks in advance!

  18. I'm keeping an eye out for them, probably to soon to find any visible ones. So many hidden angles in the tank it's hard to tell.
