    New Salifert Calcium Test?

    Anyone else having issues with their new test kits? They say the water is supposed to turn pink but mine never does. There seems to be one less reagent and step in this new system. The old one was the gold standard in my opinion, but I have no idea about this new one.

    On The Subject Of Lights: Intensity, Duration, and Spectrum (Or why you should understand more than PAR)

    This is a subject that came up in conversation online with fellow reefers, and I wanted to make my points in this thread. Please feel free to push back on my points, as I want my understanding to be more precise. I've had this conversation a handful of times, but never written it down, so here...

    DIY Phosphate Dosing Solution

    So I have struggled with low phosphates in the past and always dosed Brightwell's NeoPhos, which is great! I love their products, the concentrations are consistent, and the calculating equations they provide are accurate! However, you can cruise through them quickly and it adds up on...

    Different Gyres And Your Experience

    So I have used Jebao Gyres in the past, but I've had an Icecap for a while now. I just finally plugged it in today, and really enjoy it. Which types of gyres are y'all using? Which would y'all recommend? Have you noticed wider flow patterns with some? Better ramping? More controllability?

    Chemistry: What's Most Important?

    This is something that I've been toying around with over the last few years, but I'm starting to settle on the fact the the "big three" (alk, cal, and mag) aren't as important as I thought they were. After having used a Trident for years now that's regularly calibrated, I'm just not so sure how...

    What did I miss?!

    I was out of the country for a couple weeks but am back now. What happened in the reefing community while I was gone? Was a miracle food invented? Did they find a way to cure ich with a common household item? Did torches get cheap again?!!

    What Halloween movies are you watching?

    Halloween is, in my opinion, the best holiday of the year! What movies are you watching for the season? Any new horror movies out? I’m watching The Exorcist III right now, which is arguably my favorite horror movie of all time, but I’m always interested in finding new ones!

    Where To Get Syringes?

    I’m looking for some legit, sharp syringes to inject some aiptasia and palys with kalk paste. However, the flat tipped ones that I have don’t pierce the tissue. Anyone know how/where to get a syringe without looking like a crack head?

    Does silicone translate to silicates?

    Tanks a little off lately so I sent in an ICP test. Everything looked good but silicone was a little higher than usual at 290mg/L. I looked at historical tests and it’s normally around 150mg/L. Does silicone translate to silicates in the way that you can get an idea of phosphates by looking at...

    Zoas - Polytoxins Are Real

    I was cleaning out some tanks that still had some zoas in them on the bottom hidden under an inch or so of water on the back patio. I started cleaning the tanks yesterday and must have gotten a wiff even though I was outside. Allergies went bananas, lots of snot, and minor flu-like symptoms...

    Can you feed fish after lights out?

    I wonder if fish need sight to find food. If the lights are off and you feed, then can they find it by smell? Of course, the tank isn’t pitch black though. Some ambient light from the room is in the tank.

    Quanta LED Bar - Anyone have experience with one?

    I'm looking at trying some of these out and I was wondering if anyone has ever tried one before. The par and build look pretty solid, plus the price is right. Just curious if anyone has personally seen them in action before. https://www.quantareef.com/

    All Things CNC!

    A thread for discussing all things CNC whether it be laser cutters, routers, or 3D printers! So @-AnThOnY- I figured we’d bring the discussion here and not distract from that build thread. So, the reason I went with the X-Carve was because it seemed pretty user friendly, has a large community...

    Dosing Algaefix Instead Of Vibrant

    Alright, so I've got some bubble algae that I want to knock out, and I have a fresh bottle of Algaefix. However, I can't remember the exact dosing regiment on it. Considering it's basically the same as Vibrant, just follow the Vibrant dosing schedule, right? I remember one of y'all talked to me...

    Switching from LED to Metal Halides

    Have any of y’all switched from LEDs back to metal halides? If so, what your experience like? I was at That Aquarium Place the other day and he has both halides and LEDs over different sections of his large tank. Minus the Kessils, I have yet to see a LED that can come close to halides on just...
