    Interview with Humblefish & PauB

    @Paul B There are no hogs in Houston, so we don’t know what a “hogwash“ is! Consider gracing us with wise words or humorous wit. Shalom, Patrick

    Who is favorite member of your CUC?

    While not grouped with CUC, I consider ornamental sponges as consumers of microbes, including ich parasite larvae and an integral part of mixed garden biodiversity. Depending on what we are cleaning up, determines the clean up crew. So, who cleans up DOC (dissolved organic carbon)? Cryptic...

    Interview with Humblefish & PauB

    No doubt that healthy mature reef tanks excercise ich management. In my case, I have had stress events with no visible ich symptons manifested. It occurs to me that natural immunity to specific pathogens requires being exposed to those pathogens. From my point of view, how is a hobbiest...

    Awesome. Thank you. I am going to check out the peroxide test strips on Amazon. I use a 10% solution of 3% peroxide as a 10 minute dip on corals with pest.

    Interview with Humblefish & PauB

    Kudos to inverts more active at night under blue light. At one time, I ran red led’s for observing night time behavior.

    I have a tank full of Red Grapes, Bortacladia, and Pom Pom Algae, Gracilaria Hayi, which I highly recommend. I disagree with AlgaeBarn‘s assessment of herbivore food. BlueTang & Lawnmower Blennie seldom graze. https://www.marineplantbook.com/marinebookgrachayi.htm A beautiful species of...

    Taming Caulerpa Prolifera in a Caribbean Mixed Garden Lagoon

    For feeding tangs, Caulerpa Paspoides is a good choice: Hippo & lawnmower devour it. In bottom 55G tank, lights are more intense and without a fish bioload, I am dosing ammonia to keep up with nitrogen demand. Because I did not prune regularly, a very large patch of fast growing Caulerpa...
