Very interested in this discussion! I dose BRS 2 part...Alk and Calcium and rely on monthly water changes (hW-Wiegandt Marinemix Reefer) for trace element replacement. Very curious as to what folks use for trace element and/or iodine replenishment.
I've had moderate success with rubbing a toothbrush at the edge of their foot which irritates it causing it to curl up such that you can peel them off. However, when you have 20 to 30 to do at a time, this is tedious. I've gotten to the point where I treat them like weeds. I just cut them off at...
This is a very compelling discussion. I have found in all the years that I've had a reef tank that tanks are like all of my ex-girlfriends. Every single one is completely different. Tanks are the same way. What may work on your tank may not work for me. And vice versa.
I agree with @reeftopia...
It's about time Olympus came out with an update to the Tough series! I think the TG-6 came out in 2019...or something like that. I have a TG-4 that I use as a backup camera to my main underwater camera and considered buying the TG-6 but at the time it just wasn't worth the upgrade. Olympus seems...
Nice video! That was a crap ton of divers though! Lots of dive lights in the background point up. Very kewl though.
And night dives are the BEST! The best way to get used to diving at night is to actually start your dive just before sunset. When you get in the water, you can still see the reef...
I know I'm a little slow to this rodeo, but I finally decided to add my $0.02 to the discussion. I used metal halides for 20 years. My last rig was a dual 150 watt double ended combo with two 48" T5s and two 48" low power blue LED strips intended to serve as "moonlight". I absolutely loved this...
New Kessil & Reef Brite Light Combo
This is essentially "Randy's Lighting Bundle" that I DIY'd myself. I'm a huge fan of the Metal Halide and T5 Light combo and was super sad when I had to retire my rig. I saw this a few years ago on BRS and said YES! Took me...A MINUTE...to get all the...
I have one fish left, a melanurus wrasse. He seems fine now. Doesn't seem to be breathing hard and comes out to eat every evening so far. Inverts also seem to be doing well. My corals aren't showing signs of being affected by whatever stressed and ultimately killed the fish. That's the real...
I am contemplating going from a single DI Resin bed to a triple set up with separate Anion and Cation beds along with a final mixed resin bed.
How many DI Resin bed stages do you run and why?
I got super busy with work over the summer to the point where my work-life balance was heavily off. As such, my tank got neglected. My corals were starting to show signs of unhappiness so I did a 25% water change (first H2O change since May) and tested my water. Calcium was super low and...
WAIT...A...MINUTE!! You mean when I lost all but 2 of my 38 zoa colonies 2 years ago it could have been these little A Holes all along?!?! I still can't keep zoas. I thought I was fighting some mysterious water chemistry problem that wasn't showing up in multiple water tests. I thought the...
