I know that BRS did some testing on salts and say that dry mixing is not needed, but they also used new salt sent directly to them and did not really test any far traveling kinds - this test was more stupid than most of their stuff. You NEED to dry mix all salt, or use the whole bag. This is...

If you know a real vet and not a glorified anal-gland squeezer and nail trimmer, you can show them the original research from Dustin Dorton from ORA and they will likely prescribe you some. Explain that this particular bug needs 4x the dosage amount. Most vets are subsets of the profession and...

Probably too late for this go around, but a huge battlebox and a snake draft has been fun for clubs in the past. Heard of a club that got something like 80 corals and 10 people drafting. Adam does not ship turds, so everybody was happy.

Many of the best hobbyists have been saying for decades that full-spectrum light and heavy export to match the heavy import were the keys to their tanks. Most of them still operate that way today. It is too bad that they have no interest in contributing online anymore, and I don't blame them...

Check your batch number on the TM salt. There are well known issues with some bad batches. TM has to travel a long way and it can settle. Always dry mix it before you use.

Other than Hawkins, your only hope might be a wild colony or a frag from a wild colony from an Aussie Shipment. I have had Ice Fire for a long time and it has not stood up well to the way that most folks want to keep their tanks nowadays with high residual building block levels, stripping out...

You have to find a way to do efficient gas exchange and also remove heavy metals that you introduce in food. Skimmer is a good way to do these two things, along with organic removal. Skimmer is not necessary, but you have to find a way to do these things.

Bleach just kills organics. It does not remove them or break them down. Some things might have rinsed away from the rock, but the majority is still in there.

The rocks will be packed with dead organics. It will decay. It won't likely cause any spikes, but expect your residual no3 and po4 to rise in the back end. It can take years for dead/dry rock to act like real live rock again - all of the dead organics need to get into the nooks and crannies...

If you post a photo under daylight,I can probably give you a pretty good guess.

There are almost no true yellow acropora. Most that shine are greenish under heavy blue light. RR Wolverine gets pretty yellow and so can the OG Tyree Pink Lemonade. If you have very daylight type of lights, then Yellow Tort can be pretty yellow, but it gets green with more blue. WWC Yellow...

I have CSBs, willing to trade and ship. I have traded with many people over the years and maybe even your friend.

I will also mention that OPR are one of the weakest links in any reef system that uses them. Only perhaps pH probes are worse. Just like I almost NEVER recommend that a calcium reactor be tuned and set to run off of a pH probe, I would not trust a ORP probe wholesale since they do fail, drift...

Dr. Randy Holmes-Farley wrote 2 articles on ORP. I recommend that you read and understand both of them and then decide if you want to go down this route. For me, juice is not worth the squeeze. If I just want more clear water, a bit of vinegar or some granular activated carbon can do this...

Are any of the presentations going on YouTube? I had last minute family stuff and was bummed out, but maybe I lucked out by not getting sick.

Put two small rocks flanking it. See if that keeps it upright. Mine can sometimes turn to catch rays that bounce off of the front glass- my large blue squammies liked to be parallel to the front glass no matter how I positioned them.

I still have a few of those. I put Sicce PSK pumps on them and they skim as well as any new skimmer... and better than most. Somebody is going to be happy with this.

I saw that. I would really like to know what they are going to be speaking about. It might just be a surprise.

Does it say on the website what the speakers are going to be talking about? Am I just stupid?

I dunno. Waiting to see what they presenters are going to speak about.
