    Acro

    Not sure what part of town you’re in but I’ve got some (variety of acros, including Bali slimer) ready for a home. I’m near Kemah. Hit me up if you’re interested, I might be free later on Saturday.

    Acro

    I find staghorn type corals are a little more hardy and tend to grow a lot faster. I imagine Bali Yellow Slimer would be the fastest growing acro on record, and pretty robust as well.

    Co2 refills

    Agreed. That’s nonsense. A 10lb tank can fill to 10lbs of CO2 no problem.

    Co2 refills

    Usually a home brew place won’t fill to full… they are using K-bottles and so they’re only transferring pressure. While K bottles will probably be charged to a higher initial pressure (2400psi service pressure) than a 10 or 20lb tank you’re using, you’re fighting both any depletion already used...

    How often do you visit LFS

    I almost never go north of clear lake, so I’d argue there is no LFS near me. I might make a tour of some of the stores once or twice a year.

    Soy's 190 Gallon Build Thread

    I've got an Apex, thats part of what attracts me to the Sky. Maybe I'll have to start selling more frags to justify the upgrade. ;-)

    Soy's 190 Gallon Build Thread

    Great setup, congrats. You'll have to let me know what you think of the sky lights in the coming months. I'm considering swapping those in to replace my metal halide fixtures. The start up costs for 3 of them is intimidating, but I think it would solve a few issues I have with lighting spread.

    Water Temperature Mix Reef with Fish

    This is the display, pictures are overlapping as it's a bit wide to get in 1 shot. It's a 300 gallon with a 6'x3' footprint.

    Water Temperature Mix Reef with Fish

    My tank is usually in the 75-76 range. Heater comes on at 75. Never really thought about, it’s been running 10 years at that temp.

    The tank is wet!

    Got an order from Coral Euphoria this week, thanks for the tip. They are quite nice.

    Calcium Reactor vs 2 part

    Ha! You must work for mainstream media, pulling the part you like and leaving the contextual parts of the story out! ;)

    Calcium Reactor vs 2 part

    I'd be game for this experiment. Pull me in the loop if you guys want.

    Calcium Reactor vs 2 part

    I'm confused by this. What was edited? If it was my +/- 0.05, I just made it up, I wasn't referencing the math in that other post.

    Calcium Reactor vs 2 part

    Another way to phrase this: your concept of "stability is king" is very different than mine. I think stability is absolutely important. Big swings are catastrophic, small swings should be avoiding for success. But I'm very pragmatic, and have lived my life by the phrase "better is the enemy...

    Calcium Reactor vs 2 part

    my LOGiCAL answer: it doesn’t matter. i think this is the point we are talking past each other. No one disputes that the alkalinity, calcium, and other trace elements that a calcium reactor effluent provides is going to be more constant (stable) than a dosing pump with a 2 part solution...

    I’m less impressed by that, but it’s a nice piece of equipment. ;-)

    Calcium Reactor vs 2 part

    I mix up solution about once every six weeks. It’s not bad. and for performance, I got these two frags on Oct 2. Hawkins enchinata and JF Yellow tips. The second picture is this morning, so about 3 months later. Growth is as good as I’ve ever had personally. And FWIW I am NOT against a...

    Calcium Reactor vs 2 part

    I've been around a while, was way more active in forums in years past (spent too much time on ReefCentral and TheReefTank for a lot of years). Set up my first saltwater tank in 1998, have had a few iterations, current one is a 300 gallon display with over 200 gallons of sump+refugium). My...

    Light shields look great. Well sorted.
