  1. Ok, one more question. I’ve seen mixed opinions on how long, or if it even matters, leaving the salt mixing before adding it to the tank in a water change. If it loses potency the longer it mixes, wouldn’t that mean it depletes faster in the tank bc of the coral absorption PLUS being just “mixed around”. If nothing is removing the elements from the water, then the ca/alk/mag, etc shouldn’t change no matter how long it’s sitting there swirling around in out mixing station tubs.

  2. I googled RHF to avoid asking a dumb question and got retirement housing fund and rhf bourbon.... doubt that either of these is what you meant, so what is RHF? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. When we dose, we have to dose cal/alk at alternate times bc they will precipitate. Why doesn’t this (or does it) happen when we mix our salt for a water change? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  5. I have conchs and sand sifting stars that keep my sand turned over and pretty clean. I have a lot of dead spots bc of those ginormous rocks I got from you, so I had to get something to help with the corners. The conchs help a lot! I didn’t see a nem. Haven’t decided on one yet?

  6. Please tell me there will be lps at this meet. We’re not all stick junkies. [emoji849][emoji23]. Can’t wait to see everyone. It’s been too long! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I’ll volunteer to volunteer again if you need any help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Holy moly! Is it pink or purple? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Orange setosa. Gsp is green and covers the back glass good. Green Nepthea. Lots of blue zoas. It’s fun to plan your rocks and then plan coral placement based on the sizes they will grow to. To create the right depths and color balances and compliments Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I have a small calcium reactor that’s been sitting out in the garage for about two years. I’ll take some pictures and look up some info On it in the am when I have some light Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Awe! Do clams produce sexually like flower nems? I know I could google it. [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I’ve seen those at RCA. They’re pretty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. About 6 months ago I was given 10 in a trade. I now have only 4. They are constantly moving and I read need to be fed a lot bc of their activity level. I have an automatic feeder to feed them a little while I’m at work. I also read they will pick on each other with in their own school. I added a blue damsel about 3 months ago. Got him in a tank break down. Since adding him, no more disappearing chromis. Maybe coincidence. Maybe not. Who knows. They are fun to watch though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Thanks, Kim. I sure hope I did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. The fu Manchu didn’t make it. [emoji3525][emoji3525]. He refused to eat anything I offered him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. He was eating the ghost shrimp the first few days in the biocube. I kept him alone to try to teach frozen. I felt like he was declining bc he stopped eating the shrimp and even rejected mosquito fish. I made the decision to add him to the DT thinking being in a Reef setting may perk him up. I personify my animals. [emoji16]. I will try to put in a lot of ghost shrimp and see if he’s interested before they’re all eaten by my other fish. If the mollies prove to be a flop, at least they should be easy enough to catch since they stay towards the top of the tank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. it won’t allow me to open it. And Sasha, you’re right. One did almost swim into a nem. And they are at the top of the tank. So far the Fu Manchu has shown zero interest. In anything. He’s facing a corner like he’s in time out. Not sure what else to do. I sure hope he comes around. I did read they’re tricky to keep captive, but someone already had him so I took him to try. Hope for the best. As long as this doesn’t back fire and I end up with 900 mollies, the babies will be food for the tank. Poor things. I’ll update as more happens. Dana, I’m going to try to find the post you mentioned Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Double post: Has anyone ever tried to/had success/failed turning FW mollies into SW? I’d like to try this to have live food for my Fu Manchu bc he never did take to frozen. I’ve put him in the DT because he was beginning to decline in the 20 gal. I have plenty of fish to keep the molly population from exploding, but would like to hear of any experiences good or bad that anyone may have had with this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  20. Yes! I’ll take it to try out!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Had to read that a couple times to get the full picture of what it was in my head, but I did. What a Neat idea! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I like the feeding tube idea. Is it dumped in your sump near your return pump? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I have the same Pham/Chris rainbows, but my whites are on too high to bring out the bright colors. The radions can be “too blue” in my opinion and I don’t like that. I like the more real, natural look, so my rainbows have kinda paid the price. I started with 2 in the upgrade now I have 5. Lol. Was told they’re so hard to get bc they’re part of the Indonesian trade that’s currently cut off. Not sure of the validity of that, but someone told me that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Aaron at just Reef has several of these Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. [emoji58]. I have an apex collecting dust on a shelf. So many wires and stuff. [emoji849] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
