muratic acid is a very strong acid mcallahan. What is your criteria for strong? Sulfuric? hehe Derek vinegar is a a weak acid. I also have a ton of muratic if you want a bottle I can leave it on my porch and you can come pick it up when its convenient for you.

Robb all the youngsters know it from the Kayne West song. Andrew, can you send me a pic of the brain. What type is it. Might be interested.

Here is how you do it. Cut a frag that has a branch. Wait until it shrinks down all the way. Take the frag out of the tank and place it flat on mount with branches spread. Get your super glue gel and draw an X accross the middle of the branches. So the branches are chained down by the X of the glue. Let the glue dry for a few min then place back in a low flow area. No high flow, no high flow!!!! It will take a week or so to bond.

Wow an angel with cheap taste for once. I like.

ok give me your old one and I will put it in acid

I use diluted HCL acid (muratic) you can get it at the pool store. Eats right though it in seconds.

although Derek's piece was really really nice. So it was extra shameful

TDS meter is like 20 bucks

Your not the only one Derek. It has happened to a few people.

aww man no one took my my spectrophotometer idea seriously. One day yall!

or this old school one. (I have used this model before)

I think a used mass spectrophotometer would be awesome If you are looking for ideas.

They are hardy and fast growing. The dots do not typically pop like that under normal lighting. The background color tends to dominate.

Well since so many people have been asking me about this coral I am going to make a few frags on request. 2" frags expanded for $25. I am going to cut them and mount them for you in advance as most people loose the frag the first time they mount it because of the way nepthea shrinks and expands. So I only ask if you request one that you indeed do come pick it up after it bonds to its mount. This coral grows well under all light.

Actual shot from my tank.

The stuff grows like crazy in my nano cube. I pull a zip lock bag full out every 3 weeks. I have it under 24w PCs. I have noticed it grows much better in tanks with a lot of FLOW.

This coral is not extinct in the wild. Turns out that was a rumor...or at least that is the current rumor I have noticed it can come down with a black slime disease sometimes. So its best to have more than one colony and chop off any diseased or distressed tissue before it spreads. Great coral. Grows in pretty much anything I throw it in.

Mama,

I will take the smallest skunk cleaner shrimp you have and one Trochus. See you at the meeting.

I have heard many bad reviews of those coral life digital terms too. Did you check against a glass term?

coral will actually grow faster under 6700K light. The question is does the bulb really produce that spectrum.

The primary purpose of curing rock is to establish the various colonies of bacteria in order for it to filter. Since there is no real food source during the curing process higher level organisms will not develop or propagate. The bacteria are not that temperature sensitive so you don't need to heat the water. If the rock was previously alive your first phase should be with fresh water to allow the phosphates to leech out. Then move to saltwater phase. Seed with some sand or rock from a established pest free tank, or you can use a commercial seed but I can't testify to the bio diversity of those products. Grind up some shrimp or some sort of matter to decay and wait for the ammonia spike and then start changing out the water. You can monitor the process and check to make sure all phases of bacteria have been established. Of course do it in the dark to prevent growth of unwanted algae. Invite us over to look at your tank. Done.

if it comes in and it looks like that then I would say its a fair deal. That is a good looking coral. The whole limited edition concept is a scam as well. Artificial price setting via unnecessary supply control. Kind of like OPEC for corals.

depends on the beach.

what kind of shrimp if any do you have?
