I was just going to ask what is that.

I was just going to ask what is that.

Stoney Coral Tissue Loss Disease. Basically wide spread RTN.

For more info, see here.

It's in the Gulf of Mexico too... None of the Florida rock is completely safe right now.

None of FL has ever been "safe" in any regard... corals/rock aside.

Trust me, speaking from experience.

Also, regarding Tampa - pretty sure Hillsborough County dumped crack in the potable water lines for some kind of social experiment. People were absolutely wild yesterday, I'm dreading today.

Can you ship me some of that water?

We all are aware, that Tampa Bay, is in Florida, yeah?

It's like when I tell my husband "8 AM in the morning".

 

[rmorris_14]

Anyone concerned about SCTLD from the atlantic tho

UGH... this is really going to slow down my build.

I would not be too concerned. I have numerous stoney corals from KP rock that are doing fine, and Dad ordered some a month ago and zero issues. It seems the issue is bacteria sealed (at least from recent studies) and with the diversity in our tanks (when compared to those specific waters), it poses almost no issue for a truly mixed reef. At least IMO.

End of day, I have 4o year old corals native to FL and so does dad, one would think that our tanks would be the first to see it, and we have not. Even with my "dock rocks" that are "cooked" in the Atlantic/Intercoastal (Indian River Lagoon), no issues with those.

Got the carbon installed today- the mesh lid for my Red Sea tank also came so I can take the molding canopy off of it, so what is the KP place?

They really did do something with the water, I had no idea

I think I have decided instead of doing a 200 reef tank I may do a freshwater paludarium, money is really a constraint atm and I’d rather upgrade my current setup before setting up a 200 reef, but I’m probably going to still set up a smaller reef frag tank

What's holding you back?

On making it a reef? Time and money- I’d rather buy a puppy at the moment then start getting all the equipment I’ll need for the tank

As we all know, tanks require quite a bit of money and a time dedicated to them. Especially the first few months. If that's not where you want to spend your money or time right now, don't. Nothing wrong with that

and puppies and paludariums are cool too.

The return on a puppy in terms of love and sheer adoration are significantly higher than the reef.

Absolutely...

100!

There's way more pictures of Vada on my phone than the reef since I got her.

Yeah puppy
