Reburn

There was a great member split up here.  Most including me went to R2R (reef 2 reef) and facebook. There is nothing here anymore unfortunately.

The answer is if they didnt come with names you cant just assign a name. 

The names trace back to specific lineage to a specific person.  You cant / shouldnt just say they look like this so are this. 

I always use the app.  I use a wired connection as well.  Its easier after your into it to setup the wireless.

looking very nice jimbo.  Really like the goni garden.

I'll chime in here.  I kept my tanks running with a generator.  Getting the 20g I needed a day to keep my 6500w honda running was a problem.  Finding as store with gas and power at the same time required driving in the snow and ice everyday.

Getting into solar and powerwalls is cool and all but it will only buy you a limited amount of time during a power outage.  Due to the cost and all the other factors this is a distant thrid option.  A generator and stock pile of gas before the weather event will be your second best bet.  I personally am installing a whole home generator that runs off natural gas with a propane backup in case the natural gas grid goes down.  The cost to install a large generator and permanetly wire it in with an automatic transfer switch is total $ about 3 times what the generator costs.  Most of the cost is in site prep and gas line prep.  Almost no residential house has a propey sized gas meter and gas service line to fuel a 300ft3/hr generator.  Its a very expensive option.  For me it will be a have to have as the volume of water in my house would be too much for a single 6500w generator which costs 3k already.  Also as stated over coming the thermal difference between 47 inside up to mid 70's with drop in heaters can almost be impossible.  For record my tanks run 1k watts of heaters.  The options suck but if your going to stay in the hobby long term the expenses start to add up quickly.

nopox is carbon dosing.  like vinegar or vodka.  Likely over did it and depleted oxygen which caused fish to sufficate.  You should look up carbon dosing on R2R or RC.

They are mostly reef and coral safe however they are still angels.....Its still a risk keeping them with coral.....you just got unlucky.

looks good bud

It could be Pocillopora damicornis. Could be Seriatopora caliendrum or Seriatopora guttatus.   Which sells for more $?  😀

For sure not a seriatopora.

100% for sure a poci.  Poci can go ejecto polyp and spread like wildfire.  I wish I could get it out of my tank.

Like Tim said I would pass.  Scopas tangs can be known to be very agressive too.  I would have passed too with your current load of 3 zebrasoma.

Still here.  @victoly yo why don't you bring me kh guardian juice.  You can leave with corals.  Was going to take a picture today but I got busy napping and snacking.  All blues now so tank is way windexed out.

yea i got you but you will need to come to pflugerville.  wont be back until tuesday.  anytime next week works hit me on pm.

I'm running one of the first gen KH guardian.  I dont use the alk dosing option as I have found it to be not too accurate.  It is good for a general glace to see if there has been a change.  The reagents have been super tricky to get with coral vue having them out of stock normally.  Thanks for the link.

I'M ages old on my research is the KH guardian one that you can do DIY reagent for? Got a link?

You need kicked in the taint sir

There are only 3 people left that remember that cluster.

Lets not confuse growth tips/rings with the whole coral turning green Tim.  You trying to draw a conclusion on growth rings.

This is a know these years.  

A coral turning green is almost always related to stress if all other corals in the system are happy.  My PC rainbow is always the canary in the coal mine.  Red=all is well, not red=something is amiss.

While high iron maybe a culprit if the coral stays green its not at all uncommon to get a newly aquired coral to turn green as a frag.

FOR THE RECORD NOT ENOUGH LIGHT IS A STRESSOR TO SPS CORAL.  Much more so then too much.  I havent sucessfully given a high light sps coral too much light.  And i'm rocking over 700 of MH/T5/LED on the newest apogee par meter.

and further,

Many industy giants have know for decades that light and flow play a big factor on color and growth and polyp extension.  Why else would so many vendors list those specific vital stats on there pages???????

Finally someone said it.

I, like Ty have spend the better part of 5 years growing corals and killing corals and a literal lifetime growing plants and crops and trees and roses and anything else i wanted to grow.  Ty has been at corals longer.  I have found little evidence to link most aquarium based academic papers to fact in the real world.  There are simply too many variables in our aquariums to create any thing that could be slightly mistaken as scientific procedure.  And yes I have read many of these papers and found 50% of the time the conclusion to be 100% opposite of what I have experienced in the real world.

In simple english if it works for other and you the "why and how" is noise.  Working for years isn't an accident or an isolated incidence.

That's the best gif and my favorite childhood movie.

+100 cool points for you sir!!!

OH heck yea can I jump on the "bad topoff water is 90% of people problems" podium........

That would be me

bump for a beautiful tank.

I have done my research and Jim and I both have L4's on our frag tanks.  He has an l4 or and l8 on his display.  We both have been running them for years.  To say I'm familiar is an understatement.  Most scrubbers are made from glued acrylic which can be prone to leaking and or separation from twisting.  This is one of the few things that doesn't need to be tinkered with.  They run like a Ferrari right out of the box hence worth the cash drop.

Turbos is not made of plexi, They are injection molded uv resistant plastic.  No seams, Darn near leak proof with quality LEDs.  I run a L4 on my 6' frag from its inception over 2 years ago.  This one is Going on my 450.  The only way you will see it for sale is if I upgrade to a L16.  Which in reality I would just get the parts from bud as a L16 is 2 8's stacked.  In my opinion the finest scrubbers on the market.  Pricy though with long waits as said.  

Sold. I'll take it.

I don't see a check valve in between the pump and the airstone.  Bad Sam.
