  1. There’s the culprit. Side affect of carbon dosing. Make sure you have a good clean skimmer. Make sure any and all filter sponge don’t get clogged up with the same snot. Might consider reducing the dosage a bit too.
  2. Sounds like bacterial slime. Are you carbon dosing anything? Bio pellets, vodka, sugar, Red Sea Nopox?
  3. Well not sure when this was resolved but it is. 👍🏽 Thanks to all involved.
  4. I too can not see hahndn’s post. Also the same is happening with the May meeting minutes. Can’t see that post either.
  5. Up to 7 notifications. Still can’t access them.
  6. That’s pretty cool Brooke!! Congrats! I’d let them do their thing free fish food snack. You could collect them and try to raise them up in a separate tank to sell in the future, but that’s more involved. Maybe a few will survive anyway in the tank.
  7. Hi Brooke 👋🏽 It’s a pretty normal looking baby tank. Diatoms are starting to recede. I also feel GFO is more beneficial than carbon , not sure if that’s something you can switch in a canister filter. Make sure you change the filter media in the canister, you don’t want that getting clogged up with waste. You have a bit of hair algae on your rocks it looks like. I think it’s time for some working fish! Smaller Zebrasoma would be a great addition. Yellow tang , purple tang, or scopas tang. Or maybe a bristletooth tang. Before you add it take that rock out and scrub as much of that off as you can with a brush of some kind. If you can’t pull that rock out scrub it during a water change and suck up the bits of algae then. Green algae on the glass is easy fix. Put that Magfloat to work. I clean mine about once a week.
  8. Lots of green algae out there. You have a picture? Where is it growing? What are your nitrate and phosphate levels? Lighting could be an issue but in this case I think the question on this issue in relation to algae is spectrum. Watchman goby, pistol shrimp, Idaho? If this is who I think it is. You’re running a current USA LED strip.
  9. I’ll be there! Not sure about the fam yet. I plan on bringing Mini Pigs in a Blanket for the pitch in.
  10. Anyone have any fish related memes put them here.
  11. Hey Ryan it’s still not working for me.
  12. Still same here. Up to 4 notifications now. I’m on mobile. Maybe that’s the difference.
  13. Some will eat coral yes. But some just multiply rapidly and become an eye sore.
  14. Something is going on in my notifications icon. When I try to see them I get an error code.
  15. Looks normal. The example is simply pointing at the area where the black plunger needs to be positioned. The air gap is the displacement of air from the plunger to the opening prior to filling. As long as the plunger is pulled from 0 to 1 you will have 1 ml no matter the air gap.
  16. My only suggestion is to add a air vent to the top 90s add a 2” long straw for added height away from the water. The vent will ease the air water turbulence causing the all that racket, kinda like turning them into a durso stile drain.
  17. Looks like the metal is the only spot for it. Why can’t you put it in the metal? Drill and tap the metal for a 1/4” quick to 1/4”npt. It’s what I did. Granted I did it into plastic, but it will work the same in metal. Here’s a pic of mine.
  18. Little over due update! These guys are getting big and beautiful! Biggest one is now over 3/4” when fully open. Keep your eyes out probably in about a couple of months I’ll be putting these for sale.
  19. I use regular instant ocean. Readily available just about everywhere. Very Inexpensive if not the most inexpensive. Also a great reputation and trusted brand for a long time.
  20. 196.9 ppm = 11 DKH. Your alk could be high from overdosing. If you stopped using the two part cause your alk was high only stop using the alk portion of the two part, and continued to does the calcium solution. You may need to dose slightly different amounts. Another thing to look at is the salt. What is The Reef using for salt these days. If it’s an elevated alk salt, you are contributing to the alk imbalance. Test the new water to see where it’s at before performing a water change.
  21. No need to apologize that’s the whole point of the forum my friend. What you have there is a Chiton. Aka the Rollie Pollie of the ocean 🤪. Here a link that should help with anything else you may find. http://www.lionfishlair.com/hitchhiker/hitchhiker.shtml
  22. Looks like he’s on a plug. Just pull it out scrape it off. Scalpel, bone cutters , butter knife even could work.
  23. Twizzlers the first pic is gorilla nipples not sure on pic 2 but not candy apple reds
