coralsrus have you down for Friday
Ryan and Amber have you down on Saturday as floaters
Thank you everyone
Large shirt for me, medium for Amber. Forgot to mention that
-
Amber and I will be there as floaters on Saturday. We can get there around 9am and stay as long as needed

Hey Amanda, is there a factory reset for the eb8 power strips? I’ll do some digging later today, but I think that’s what needs to happen for them to work correctly again.
-
Amber and should actually make this one. We can talk about our 40gal saltwater algae pond and how to breed all the bad stuff…

Going to do my best to make this one.
I don’t have time to take on a full role, but I am always willing to help out any of the officers/volunteers/board members if things get too hectic for you guys. Don’t hesitate to reach out- 2

Craig,
I’m unsure what that is but if you’d like to bottle up some of it and get it to me I can take a look at it under the microscope and see if I can identify it

Going to try and make this. Always like seeing what Scarlet and Alan have done

Anyone had a chance to use this? Wondering what opinions are on it.

Thought I’d start this thread again. Had some ideas thrown around at the swap today that were requested. Feel free to throw your ideas here as well.
Rock sculpting (cutting, drilling, chiseling)

Definitely headed in the right direction. Keep current on your water changes for nutrient export and let things settle in. You’ll be back to enjoying a clean tank before you know it

I like using optical sensors from ato’s to trigger a shut off for my main return pump (like Kyle suggested). I’ve never tried the float switch but it would work the same, just more mechanical.

So at this point my biggest issue is the algea growth. I've got the water changes and nutrient measurements down. Not using nopox until the skimmer is functioning.
Do you suggest I just maintain as is for now, or what to do to beat the algea?
Definitely not over feeding.
How long should I have the light on for?
That would be my suggestion. You’re making the correct changes, now you just need to keep those changes constant and let things correct themselves.
There are options that can help move things faster (carbon dosing, chemical additives) and they work great. But you have to continually use them, and that still takes months sometimes. -
Not to be “that guy”, but no one has mentioned patience in this situation. Nothing good happens fast in this hobby. Your algae issues need to be solved at the base level. Adding too many nutrients (over feeding, light schedule too long, etc) and improper nutrient removal (not doing proper water changes, no skimmer, etc) need to be solved as well as making adjustments to things such as no pox, proper scrubber algae growth, and the likes.
But even with all the right changes you need to stay consistent for a long enough time period that everything evens out. If you’re making changes constantly and not allowing things to settle, in my experience, you aren’t going to see many positive changes.- 1

Kyle,
I’ll send you a message on this.

I am trying to make it. Unfortunately I won’t be able to participate in the beluga gift exchange since it’s uncertain if I can make it.

Just thought I’d mention the home page date for retro frag swap needs to be changed. It’s listed as Sept 13th which is a Tuesday.
Got that updated. Thank you Greg!

Personally, I like to pull the outer layers of the chaeto and leave a baseball/softball size chunk to keep growing. It maintains water quality (removing used organics from the system) while keeping regularity with the same biological strain in your system.
