Yeah I dont get out that direction much these days since working closer to home. I should make a dedicated trip soon

https://aquasd.com/products/super-ultra-maxi-mini-carpet-anemone-6 I just think these are awesome!

I suppose im looking for a more in depth look at the equipment side.

Keeping coming back and looking at this beautiful tank. Would you mind doing a mini build thread on this? Or if you have a link to a thread that would be nice!

Yeah honestly figured out that our tanks or at least mine reflects my mental health.

Rainier OR

Hey I don't currently have anything for trade right now I went through rough patch and have practically nothing atm

Looking for zoas and mushrooms!

Thanks for all the input guys! I ended up using citric acid and dawn and it cleaned out really well!

Using lye in general or using a lye sold for drain cleaning purposes?

I was curious if using this to clean my food barrels before use is okay. Instant Power Crystal Lye Drain Opener, 16 oz https://www.walmart.com/ip/55227093 I planned on using lye and dawn

Tank only or with stand is fine just looking to see what people have for sale. Time to upgrade

Unfortunately life got in the way really fast and everything hobby of mine was put on the back burner and I apologize for inconvenience I may have put anyone in. But I will be back and more active again.

Where are you located?

My local petco has 2 small yellow tangs 200 each and 2 mandarins they are 1/2 in size and a derasa clam I doubt any of these fish are going to survive long at the store i would get them if i could!

Refactometer was out of calibration and I did a 30% water change and DT salinty dropped to 31ppm. I raised salinity back to 35ppm and my acan lords have both started having polyp bailout and my acan enchinata is receding. Is it worth trying to save the polyps that are bailing out they are still eating while unattached to their skeleton. And is this because I bottomed out my salinity?

Welp my Royal grammas poop is fluorescent yellow in reef lighting and im just floored would vita chem do this? Like it looked like the gramma was leaking yellow glow stick. Apologies for the lack of photos it happened so fast.

Location?

So a few weeks back my local petco had all livestock 50% off due to a incoming upgrade. I picked up a feather duster that had been there over a month looked great fully extended in the bag on the way home plop and drop things are great. About 3 days after I placed it in the tank it decided it wanted to attach to the rock and shed a piece of the tube it was opening waaaay farther than it was before. Well this is where the feather duster crossed the line I suppose about 2 days ago I come home from work with my female clown ripping it off the rock dragging it to the corner and laying the absolute smackdown on this poor thing. Its feathers are only about 1/4 now and I dont think its going to last much longer. I have no clue why she decided that it was clobbering time on the worm but she sure does not like it every once and awhile she darts over to the corner and smacks it with her tail.

What machine do you have ?

Haha, do you normally stay around 50 and .5? I believe ive read about a few established healthy tanks at those levels.

Well, I done goofed I had a pretty big nitrate spike awhile back, so I put in a golfball sized chaeto and things have been great since. My nitrates and phos floated down to the levels im used to 16ppm nitrate and .04 phos. Well I COMPLETELY neglected to trim the cheato and it grew to fill the entire acclimation box and then I noticed that it died back significantly over night I pulled it out and checked my nutrients and they were double 0 and low and behold I have suspected dinos now! Hurray! Just thought id share my flop! Never thought it would be so easy to bottom out nutrients without a skimmer.

Id love to join but my dt isnt stable or mature enough yet. Ill watch from the sidelines!

Well I asked around and everyone has told me to just toss some lye in there and then clean it out with dish soap and ill be good2go

So I got 3 55 gallon food grade barrels for free this weekend and I need to clean them out but im concerned about its contents. I havent found anything to say they are unusable. All three contained organic rosehip oil and I'm still on the fence on even how to clean them.
