It's amazing, but won't be here until February ish

Good thing we all live far away, else you'd be overwhelmed with handy people on your project

I'd love it!

I'd love it!

Most useful I will be is lounging in the shade in a comfy recliner with adult beverages doing "tut. tut and tut"!

I'd love it!

I’ve always thought that it would be fun to work on a tank with someone else who cares about reefing. It’s too bad that we probably don’t live anywhere close.

[Why-Me]

so here's an update of my reef.
As you all know I did a 3 day blackout to get rid of the cyano.
It seems to have worked, I'm slowly ramping my light back up 5-6% per day.
Currently light is at 30% and I have another 20-25% left to go, so 5 more days until back at previous intensity before tank blackout.
Today is day 5 with lights back on and this is what I'm working with so far.

If you ever feel like those zoas need a new home, my tank will make some room

New Years dinner shopping... Ham, collards, black eyed peas, cornbread.

What do y'all eat for new year's?

Thank you! @Robin Haselden shared a link recently that I think explains why. I dose live Phyto Feast every day in a very small dose, which is not exactly doing what I thought it was (coral food!). Apparently that is out competing my algae and preventing it from growing. There’s actually more algae now than there has been in a couple of months, but I think it’s because of how old my bottle is (the phytos aren’t alive anymore). Cant come up with any other explanation, I don’t have a skimmer or a fuge, and would expect the 14k MH to grow quite a bit of algae. My coralline barely even grows at all.

This is very curious, @Magellan. What is the date on the back of the bottle? I'm curious to know if it's 3 months or older. Thanks for this information. We have heard about our live algae out-competing other algal types commonly found in aquariums, but it's difficult to figure out how this is happening and if it can be replicated. Many hobbyists don't want to culture algae, so we are happy to offer this product.

You had a typo there. Clearly you meant to say, “what do y’all *drink for New Years?”

And the answer is everything! With this Christmas gift for the midnight celebration, grandpa drove all the way to Missouri just to buy it.

Can’t tell but I think it says best by oct 24. I’ve had the bottle for a WHILE, I only have a 28g tank so it just gets a few drops a day. It is absolutely at least 5 months old, I would say probably more like 6.

I swear by your products, I have never lost a frag and my tank does nothing except grow corals really quickly!

If it helps, I put about 1/4 teaspoon a day into my tank, first Phyto feast earlier in the photoperiod and then a similar amount of oyster feast a couple hours later. Sometimes reef roids as well. I also dose Fuel several times a week, and use Reef Fusion 2 part to keep my params as close to NSW as possible. My filtration is a filter sponge, purigen, a bag of phosguard I leave in and only change when I change my purigen, and bag of carbon. My light is a 150w 14k MH with a blue tinted DE Phoenix Bulb. It’s an old style acrylic JBJ AIO tank.

Stopped by the only local fish store that sells salt. They are no longer going to sell any livestock and will be getting rid of the supplies as well I was able to get the last five hermits for $2.00 each. Shoulda gave them to me since it’s all that was left but whatevs. I also, on the advice of someone got a fake nem. I hate it. The clowns haven’t messed with it yet but I don’t blame them it’s bright pink and ***** lol. It may be going back to the store before long.

I love my hermits! It seems that in a reef, the stranger the creature the more useful it is. @sfin52 has this monster from the black lagoon named Shrek, it doesn’t even look like it’s from this planet but eats algae as a full time job!
