    PSAS events

    I'm new to the hobby here. Are these types of frag swap invite only or open to forum members? I'm very interested in coming. Really have nothing to offer but would like to see and/or buy corals from people. Would appreciate it if someone can pm me more information

    What happened to this barlett?

    So I bought this barlett at barrier reef on saturday. Had noticed that he had a white spot on his tail but wasn't sure what it was and bought it anyway. Can anyone tell me what this white spot was? The other barlett they had in stock did not have this? Took him home and notice a very slight...

    how to dose alkalinity properly

    I bought some soda ash from BRS. My alk is at 8 dka right now using red sea reef foundation pro testing kit. I want to get it up to 10 at least. Per BRS reef calculator website, my 60gal needs about 130mL. Could I safely dose this amount all at once, say over 5 minutes? Or does it have to...

    Is there such thing as too much GFO for FOWLR?

    my tank has been cycling for nearly a month. Phosphate is 0.03-0.07. I do not want to mess with lathanum chloride now since i currently have a pair of clowns and an angel. I read that having the phosphate too low isn't good for coral. But since this is currently a FOWLR tank, it shouldn't...

    Is there such thing as too much GFO for FOWLR?

    I also used the regular BRS stuff. However, I put in 4 times as much as the recommended amount. This is my second time around. My phosphate was in the 1.5+ so I used a lot at first to get the number down. It dropped max to 0.03 and held stable before climbing back up to 0.07. I was never...

    BRS sold my hanna phospate checker 713. Worth to trade for 716?

    So I bought a brand new hanna phosphate checker 713 from BRS. However, it appears a lot of people agree the 716 phosphorus checker is more accurate. Now, I know there are a lot of people in this hobby that places too much time into little details that are irrelevant in the big picture of...

    65 gal transferred complete with 75 lb Live Rocks. Some questions

    I replaced all the old dirty rocks with 55 lbs of live cured rocks from indoor reef along with 20 lbs of pukani from BRS. Tank has been cycling the last two weeks with fishes. I know it's not ideal but I have no other place to put them. I'm taking readings everyday and is keeping a close eye...

    just starting and feeling a little dumb....

    I just started my SW from FW a month ago too. I bought a all-in-one type unit and it's awesome. However, it's does have it's limitation to expandability as far as having a sump or fuge. good luck

    refractometer vs hydrometer proven results

    yeah, I think once i get my refractometer and compare it to my float type to gauze the difference, I see myself using the float type 99% of the time. I'm new to the hobby but I think there are simply too many people wasting dollars chasing the smallest of things

    Best macro algae

    I plan on getting some Cheato for this media basket for my aio red sea max 250. The top shelf will hold the cheato while the other two bottom shelf for CPE. Do you think this is enough space for cheato to help out some? I have no choice anyway since it is an AIO tank. BTW, anyone has some...

    btw, only thing I plan on modding is adding the intank 250 media basket (ridiculously priced for a some plastic) and a phosphate reactor

    Red sea max250

    Yeah, I'm cycling my RSM 250 right now with cured live rocks and new sand. I'm using the nitrobac in the bottle that was included. Currently Have a pair of clown and an angel. I'm monitoring the parameter everyday and it's getting better. Reefsantuary is a nice place for rsm250 folks but some...
