Those snakes carried less than 3oz of water

I swear one of them had a pair of fingernail clippers though.

I dont know if i can make it. I’ll be camping for a week leading up to that weekend. I would have to drive almost 6hrs each way or fly in for the day but not sure how i would get the corals on the plane.

@Thuan is probably looking up the rules too, but I am pretty positive you can carry on fish and coral. Otherwise you could always ship it back to yourself. I could bring packaging if you need it. I always save my packages from orders and I bought heat packs for when I ship corals to people.

Anyone else getting an order this week or did everyone get it last week?

Does or has anybody used marinepure or brightwell media blocks? My last ICP just came back with high Al and Si which upon research can be caused by leaching “white bio media” as Randy called them. I have i think 6 of the large blocks in my sump. What other kind of media do you all use, if any? I need a ton of nutrient export with the massive amount of fish i have so i definitely need something to help the biological bacteria do it’s thing.

I don't. I did have seachem matrix but due to concerns switched it out to Maxspect Biospheres.

I have a whole bunch of those cups I saved from my sbb orders. If I do go, I can bring my cooler and cups. Flight would be straight 2+ hrs from where I am. Stay with the relatives in Annaheim, shop/eats in Phuoc Loc Tho in Westminster and Garden Grove, attend RAP and fly home.

@wes84 I also have the blocks from Maxspect in the 10 gallon frag tank I run. I bought Reefing Art tiles, those are made from ceramic beads too so I figure it works as a media surface.

I run chemipure blue, filter floss, and I do have purigen on hand. I bought it when I set up the tank and then realized my nitrates actually need me to dose.

I never used them for that reason. I'm not sure what's considered high aluminum

I have a Brightwell Bio-Brick in my sump since day-1 and have no aluminum appearing in my ICP’s.

This one is awsome with the baby blue color

Creature Millie had been looking great for over a month and then RTNed out of nowhere. Scooby RTNed but never really looked great in my tank. I still have a sun god, bumblebee (that has lost all of its yellow, I guess it’s a brown bee now). Angry Unicorn, Unicorn Cake, Tiger Tenuis, and Watermelon Mint speciosa are all still looking pretty good so I’m happy about that. Took a few days for good PE but they’ve looked about the same now for about a month, maybe losing a little color. I’m moving par back up from 250 to 300 now. I thought that hammer going downhill and my Zoas losing color had something to do with too much light but could’ve been trace elements or something. I’m running higher mag now (around 1500) and all of my Zoas have good color again and everything else seems happy so I’m going to push the par up a bit again.

SPS has high flow and high nutrients, maybe if I can get the par up a bit more they will start coloring up nicely.

Still playing with Dinos. .08 phos 25ish NO3, UV, tons of pods, phyto, manual removal hasn’t put a dent in them. About a week into Silicate dosing now, no change yet. Don’t seem to be getting worse and all of my parameters seem the same so I’m not super worried. I’ll give the silicate dosing a month and then I may try a blackout.

I fed my plate coral for no reason other than to see what it does, it is developing a mouth on its side!! Surprised me!
