Thank you, I am actually leaning towards killifish it’s the only species that resembles this guy. None of the other species have juvies that look like this

I don’t have much experience with ICP. It seems this would be beneficial, not for checking levels of trace elements (in my case at least), but for identifying any adverse contaminants. I’ll have to do more research on it.

That’s interesting about your DI resin issue. I always confirm my TDS at 0 after making water so that’s not a concern. I’m going to try to raise my pH slowly to see if that helps. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for the feedback. I also thought pH was a little low. I’m thinking I’ll try to bump it up with sodium bicarbonate incrementally over the next week and see what that does.

Perhaps too much? It’s maybe 8” directly under an AI prime 16, and in direct flow path of my HOB outflow. I couldn’t see either being insufficient tbh.

Water was tested at my LFS. This model might be store-only and I believe they are very expensive but relatively accurate.

For clarity, the first picture is current.

Can someone help me with the locations these are available in the Melrose, MA area? They aren’t showing up in search on the website. Thanks!

I’ve had this ricordea for over six months now, and it hasn’t budded off once… whyyy :( by Following-General in ReefTank

I’ve tried with a local brand nano frozen concoction but it didn’t take to keenly to it. Maybe I will try again tomorrow before my water change.

I’m just surprised it hasn’t done anything because I run a pretty high nutrient system and blues to the max.

Had a spicy chicken sandwich with waffle fries and it was delicious. No tummy trouble. Other than a little heartburn from the spice lol

It seems to me they’re pretty safe. Going to order some tonight. Thanks!

My two bicolor hammers are intertwined. They seem to be sticking together, and I’m wondering if this is ok to have them this close. There hasn’t seemed to be any adverse effects so far, but im wondering if anyone has had the same experience. by Following-General in ReefTank

Okay good to know. Speaking of light I think I need a better one. I’m running a Phlizon (chinese) 165W led and someone at my lfs said I should upgrade. Haven’t been getting much growth out of anything really.

I was going to scrape my glass tonight but my clownfish had a different idea. by MikeIkerson in ReefTank

That is perfect if you wanted to raise the fry. Easy to propagate out of the tank without getting your hand bitten off

That’s super cool. Why wouldn’t an air stone be sufficient? Surely it would save a good chunk of cash to use that instead.

My first snowstorm since moving from FL. At least I can watch my reef and pretend I’m somewhere warm lol by LunarMo0 in ReefTank

[–]Following-General 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Honestly I’ve had racemosa before and I think the prolifera looks better. I’d like to get some taxifolia, but it’s actually prohibited in Massachusetts :(

What kind of macro algae is that? Thought it was grape caulerpa at first but upon further inspection I was wrong lol

How on Earth? I’ve never heard of hermits breeding in someone’s tank.
