    ~300 gallon system heavily SPS dominant and I use ~ 100 ml ESV per day...each. Alk 7.5 cal 400. I dont really need to keep levels higher and I have crazy growth. you mentioned "precipitate" above. If you are precipitating then the ESV is not going into solution and will not measure correctly...

    Tang help/suggestions

    Hi...how big is the tank? If the tank is large enough, then go to step 2 which is the mirror trick. My scopas was killing a newly added sailfin in my 265. I put a large sized mirror (not a little handheld) on one end of the tank and it simmered everything down a bit. Still need to watch them...

    Fluconazole PSA

    Bubble is definitely harder than bryopsis...but bryopsis will choke faster ime. I had a bubble break out for 2 years in another tank...wish I knew then...its kinda funny that bryopsis is the first to die with fluconazole treatment...hair and others take 2x as long

    Fluconazole PSA

    I have been battling byropsis for months now likely due to poor husbandry over the summer (yes, I am guilty of it) and inadvertent introduction of the pest. I tried the kent elevated Mag, manual removal, heavy water changes and Rowaphos but always came back with a vengeance. But...now I think...

    Has anyone tried keeping an octopus?

    Water storage barrels

    I have a 40 and 20 brute. I drilled them and connected them with a ball valve and 1 in pvc. I use the 20 as a top off...but, since they are connected, I can be really flexible with ATO and make up water

    Blonde naso tang attacking magnificent rabbit fish

    you can try the mirror trick...put one up against the side of the tank, prfereably a larger mirror that spans the width of the tank. I had similar issus adding a new sailfin to my 7ft tank with an established scopas. The Scopas went nuts right away, but the mirror stopped it. It seems to make...

    Mirror Trick Worked Too Well

    Update....the mirror trick works!. If I take the mirror away, I have a fight on my hand. While in place, the scopas doesn't go after the desjardini. I swear he thinks there are multiple fish in the corner and the desjardini will cuddle up to his reflection. Hes starting to wander out and...
