Does anything ship in Canada? I see that comment over and over on this forum :/

Livestock usually not. But most LFS' will special order livestock in for you. I've been on a hunt for a US distributor that just might ship, I've found a promising one but haven't tried them yet.

NOM-NOM-NOMMMMM!



a priceless moment for the advancement of reef science was lost forever :/

however, all those corals should be bulletproof if that’s what was happening!


Next time I start a new tank and encounter the issue, I’ll surely test.

The one thing is the change in phosphate was never greater than .03ppm which isn’t much. Peoples tanks go through that every day. Mine just went through it every hour.

Exactly! Which is the same as .36 phosphate being removed from your tank every 12 hour day.... or .72 in a 24 period.

So this one favia can eat boy, my goodness.

I must have dumped 5-10 pellets on that one head. He took it like a champ.

That wasn’t the most unexpected part.

I have three new LEGIT acan heads that I never saw. One of them is eating a dang pellet! I’ll have 6 new acan heads total here.

I’m not sure, they are coral frenzies larger pellets, 1mm. The .5 and .75s are always out of stock.

I fed it to a few acans. They all ate them. The bowerbanki unsurprisingly is ready for more.

This acan is growing like a mother. Here are the 3 other heads coming in that I knew about.

Also, is what I’m doing coral abuse to this favia? It’s like when your mother makes you finish your food.

I think they will spit out anything they don’t want?


Turned the flow back on and both favias devoured the entire thing!

That one favia is finishing the 10 pellets in the other mouth now!

Look how fat these guys are! I’m dying laughing over here.

Holy smokes
