There's something fishy about this build...

Should be getting $500 (minus the massive discount he gave!) worth of Acropora from BattleCorals on Thursday!!
That was a wild discount. Thought about it, but Acropora have been hating me more than usual recently. Out of seven I recently got from SBB , 2 are still hanging in from seven. My lps are doing well including the recent adds however. And yeah he always gives really nice corals in the boxes, usually worth much more individually that the box . Remember to show us the goodies :)

The battlebrush is the best thing ever.
What is that?

Acropora is like the one coral I have never lost. I pretend it’s skill and not complete lucky chance

It's a 2 headed toothbrush. One side is skinny the other is normal sized and the bristles are hard. Great for all sorts of things. I use them to clean my weirs.

Does it look like a toothbrush? Because I once had a nightmare I used the toothbrush I used to clean my skimmer cup on my actual teeth….

Hopefully it can help me with scrubbing off this awful turf algae though. Might make a thread about that soon as it is a PITA and I need suggestions.

I mean it kind of does. It was supposedly modeled after a rifle cleaning tool

Always make the thread and use it for an entry in the supporting member giveaway.

And yes it will help, and hopefully you won't get them confused, they're really stiff bristles.

In the hope of reducing nitrate I did a water change. A significant amount of my corals leave the water which is a bit scary even if I know they’ll be fine.

I’ll take someone your nitrates over here. Mine have been at 0 for the last 1.5 months. Can’t get them to go up. I’ve started dosing ammonia and they still won’t change.

No no no I asked the psychologist. They have to want to change otherwise they will just remain stuck in their pattern
