I will put 2 tablespoons in about 2 oz of water (little more than a shot glass), and stir it. It’s like warmed maple syrup when ready. Keep stirring though because it’s a suspension not a solution.
I work in a hospital so I have access to helpful tools. I use a 4” 5f vessel dilator attached to...
I’ve used IO and RC interchangeably now for about 8 years. Sometimes mix between the two. Whatever bucket I happen to grab.
I’ve always filled the 2 buckets I’ll use with rodi water, if it’s summertime, it’s hot, if it’s winter time, it’s cold. I never bother with a heater or to cool it.

Kalk paste for the win. I use it to control all corals that begin over growing. Laser was annoying. Too much time just sitting there focused on one thing. Maybe the flow thing was my problem. Because occasionally the laser would reflect onto my arm and it would feel like a fire ant bite.

I wouldn’t trust it. I recently bought a new return pump with exposed titanium screws all over. While I KNOW they’re safe it still feels weird submerging them

I guess if I were to pick a side it would be that one. But I really am against the “this is the best way to run a reef” mentality. People’s budgets, free time, goals, and metric or success are all so different.

Not the first time I’ve heard of blood causing extreme PE. I wouldn’t recommend it though. Mycobacterium marinum is a very real thing

I’ve observed similar results running an ultra low nutrient system, with low alkalinity, and supplementing a lot of amino acids, as I have running a more moderate nutrient tank with higher alk and not supplementing as much on coral reefs. I can only surmise the liquid aminos are just filling in...
I won’t claim what they can do for someone else because every tank is different. My water is probably dirty enough that it’s just not needed. But I’ve gone through probabky 2L of acro power, on 2 different occasions, and took a lengthy holiday between, and haven’t noticed any difference in my...
Truthfully I haven’t noticed any discernible difference from any coral nutrition products, despite trying to rationalize how they’re benefiting the tank. I’ve tried the Red Sea products, acro power, KZ, and Elos. Multiple
Bottles of each. Using nothing now for about 6 months and the tank looks...
Similar to coral, they’ll express different color under different light triggers. It’s hard to say what wavelengths will do what, color wise to a variety of nems. Bubble tips seem to be able to thrive in a very wide range of par. I had one parked in about 200 par for several years and it never...
That will not come close to the spectrum and likely the output of your metal halides. You should look into the reef breeders photon v2 series for full spectrum, high powered, controllable led lights on a budget in an all in one presentation.

If they’re both true Oregon tort, then they’re not just the same species but clones of the original specimen. If one is just a deep blue colored fort someone is calling an Oregon tort, then you have two similarly colored acropora tortusa that can tolerate contact
