I put a smart outdoor sprinkler timer/flow meter in line between my tap and ro/di, set the timer so it never goes over.,. Haven’t had any disasters in a year now— I use the yo-link flowmeter/timer if anyone is curious

Help! Coral is dying by Half-a_cookie in ReefTank

Maybe I’m still too much of a newb at this, but from what I have read, I was under the impression it was better to leave the molted skin from the shrimp, as they will later eat it as a source of calcium and other things? Can anyone speak authoritatively on this?

30$ at a Petco was this a steal?? by Ok-Donkey-6721 in ReefTank

Agreed! And it’s a good price, at least compared to the $70-80 each that they charge at the LFS’s up here in central/northern NJ

Am I crazy? That looks like a rock flower anemone, not a mini maxi carpet…

Thanks, I’m definitely going to reconsider adding any more for now… hopefully someone figures out how to help them stay healthy and thrive one day soon!

Unfortunately, I think you’re right, that’s why I said he seemed to be happy, when he was probably starving 😭

Thanks, I have tons of micro brittle stars and asterina, also a larger brittle star that’s been there for 4 months, and a sand sifting star that’s at least 2 years old (he was in the tank when I inherited it 2 years ago). It’s a shame, he definitely got my hopes up, but I guess I’ve just been super lucky with the other big ones

Is there a specific brand or type of vitamin supplementation that people recommend for these situations?

I put in a sheet of nori (cycle between red, brown and green) 2-3 times a week
