In the early days of SPS reef keeping there was a lot of grasping at straws. Early conclusion were that algae turf scrubber worked poor when infact the early tanks could not keep up with alkalinity demand on a more basic level. This was done at Smithonian with Dr. Adey I believe. They trickled...

Thanks for the positive feedback. It is an interesting topic to follow. I would say from a hobbyist with technical degree that development can take place on both the hobbyist side and the vendor / research side. To have your product fly off the shelves setting up controlled dendro tanks and...

Is there any evidence PNS remain in a tank if not continually dosed?

Ok I am just getting oriented. No need for anything new at this time but thanks for offer.

I only found one example ! Walt Disney is just an example as I think Jackson Tenuis is much nicer.

Not offended and if you were how did you make it this far? I am two years out from goal I think.

I understand the people doing this will invert the question. If you enjoy social reselling on forums it is technically OK. Some trendy Tenuis grow very slow and other do not I get that. Some are simply wild caught and sold for 200 with little chance of success. This humorous topic came about...

All pictures I see today from my perspective are rather small colonies and everyone is a reseller to some extent. Is this perception correct or just a bias from looking at forums? For example someone might show off a Walt Disney 3 or 4" tall as show worthy fully grown, where in past you may...

Well noted. I Just want it up and running a few weeks anyway. I have two 5 gallon buckets of the old version of TLF media I was saving. I am on fence of using the Koemer variable perstaltic pump or just a Sicce Pro 800 with a reducing fitting to 3/8"

Well you are only one nearby I guess!

Bit off topic but is this forum mostly based around NYC area? My short time here it seems all dry good resales and tanks are from that area.

Alternatively you could just use balanced additives such as Kalk, Calcium Reactor, or all for reef and then just automate alkalinity. Calcium becomes less of an issue with minor adjustments this way. You would have less to automate and break. Magnesium can be test monthly in most cases anyway.

I am posting this to share my established 151 Reef Savvy Custom tank progression. It is up and running and taking off. It is literally is two years old and run as a FOWLR to cure dead rock without frustrating myself. I’ll take some pictures over the weekend and then every couple of months. Set...

online subscription to coral magazine would be good.

Thank you for a very clear response. I do use pH probe to monitor kalk dosinging full time with the ability to shut it off. I will not discontinue kalk dosing though. I am just maxed out and see benefits of the high pH. The kalk reactor will stay on at full use and ease in the Calcium...
