Must have been a different product. I have 5 different containers there. A 5g ATO container for dosing Kalk, 2x 3.5L containers for alk and calc, and 2x 2.5L containers for mg and a spare right now.Brs had them for sale for black friday I believe.

I know the feeling. Lost a trachy I got on a labor day sale after a 2 month steady decline... sounds like theres still a chance for yours tho. Pulling hard for ya... they are so unique and compliment almost any reef. Keep us updated. How long have u had it?I'll be taking more tank pictures this weekend but I do have a surprisingly positive update. My poor Trachy has been slowly withering away. The one spot it was doing well in my tank wasn't working for it any longer. It enjoyed the barriers from high flow but the monti cap growing above it was shading it to much, if I had to guess anyway.
After watching flow patterns in my tank by feeding at various points in the day I thought I found an area with higher light but lower flow. I moved it there on Sunday and am already seeing improvement. Almost all of the bare skeleton is covered again and its starting to puff. I should have moved it weeks ago.
I've had it for around 14 months. Its never thrived in my tank but I blame that on it being a mixed reef. I'm amazed at how well its recovered in the last 3 days. I think it may start thriving if the early indications mean anything.I know the feeling.

I'm glad you are back! I hope life is treating you well.Fairly sure you know I went MIA for a while and came back now, @Brew12 . Happy to come back and see how well your system is doing. Some great videos you shot. If I recall correctly, shortly before I went missing, you were having some algae problems that led you to the idea of possibly shutting down and restarting your tank. Looks like you averted that process and couldn't be happier for you!
In an unrelated question; I have seen you offer to help @dantimdad with the store and have to say I'm surprised he hasn't taken you up on the offer. I mean, afterall, he is supposed to be opening next week, right?
There will still be work to do.I'm glad you are back! I hope life is treating you well.
My system seems to be doing great. As for the algae, it was a combination of things that turned the tide of the battle. I added 3 short spine sea urchins along with over 100 more snails and 20 hermits. I also increased the amount of iron I was dosing to the tank. I have been growing Chaeto like a weed since then. That started a gradual improvement where over 2 months I just started seeing less and less of the algae until I stopped noticing it.
I have 2 related tasks I plan on starting today. First is to pull a bunch of Chaeto out, my refugium is packed again. I am also going to increase the main photo period of my tank. I only run peak lighting for 5 hours a day and am going to kick that up to 7 hours. I've left it short because of the algae but no reason for it anymore.
I wish I would have been able to help him with the store opening. I've been incredibly busy this fall. Almost 5 weeks of travel have thrown me way behind when it comes to day to day tasks. I don't see things slowing down until after Christmas.
The shelf was a lot of work. I think it was 4 separate pieces that I used superglue and putty type epoxy to put together. I also drilled and inserted acrylic rods to hold the top in place but those snapped and I had to redo the top section.I love that floating shelf. Might try that in my display macro fuge since my display is viewable from both long sides, I can’t do it there. How did you do it?
And good save on your Trachy!
I've posted some recently, but heck, why not post some more like this.
Edit: I just realized my tank turned 2 years old this past Tuesday.
Quick FTS.... I should have cleaned the glass first.
And how about 2 views from my office chair.
Brew, the tank is looking gorgeous!
Thank you both!A very happy 2 years to you and the reef! Your FTS's are a dream for any reefer.
And sheeesh what a nightmare scenario with the profilux programming Murphy visit. There goes your Saturday! Hopefully today u got to relax and enjoy some football.
Trachy is looking like a fat kid ready for cake! So happy it recovered, and quickly as well! Looks good!
