Check out Noopsyche lights. Me and my son run them on our tanks and I'm pleased for the price. If you are considering them, do some research first. Not sure how they would do on that deep of a tank. Several people on R2R run them so should be able to get some opinions from them.

Not sure when I joined the club but I moved here in 2000. I think I got a tank set back up in 2001. Probably found the club around the same time but can't remember. I do remember going to club meetings at some of the LFS. Biggest change IMO is the influx of people with money into the...

It is best to decide what you want to keep your parameters at and then choose a salt that best matches those parameters. It makes keeping those parameters in check a lot easier. Most salt manufacturers list what their salt should mix at parameter wise. Some manufacturers make more than 1...

He hasn't been on in over 4 months so I'm guessing everything is gone.

Well it was actually older than I thought. The thread is from 2013. I'm assuming I can post a link to it on R2R. If not, mods please delete the link. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/scoly-propagation-round-two.135082/#post-1560635

The pod business has really taken off the last few years. I would never spend that kind of money on them but I know people that buy a $30 to $40 jar every month or so.

I haven't seen any in a long time. Dinkins is local but they are doing theirs as a business. They will be at the mini frag swap this weekend, so if you drop by they may have some deals going on.

This actually isn't something new. Scott Feldman wrote about this probably 5 or 6 years ago. He actually was putting 2 different ones together hoping they would grow into 1. As far as I know, that part was never successful. From what I've read, it can take a long time for them to grow...

My son has 2 in his 11 gallon tank. He has several different mushrooms and zoas. Also has a duncan as the lone LPS. He has had them for several months with no issues. He doesn't spot feed them and he has never seen them actually eat. They mainly hang out on the florida ricordia.

If it were me, I would just buy a few larger pieces of dead rock and then seed it with some rubble live rock. I know AquaStudios in The Colony has several different varieties of dead rock. They may also have some smaller pieces of live rock they would sell you. I had forgotten about Petco...

You don't really buy "Live" rock anymore. Most is dry rock and you seed it by buying some live rock from someone local. The other option is look for someone selling their livestock and buying their live rock. DNA is the only store I've seen with live rock but I don't really pay attention...

I've seen posted elsewhere that most of the collectors went out of business so even if they start issuing licenses, it could take a while for the business to get going again, at least from a stand point that it could drive down prices.

I can't view the external link. It wants a google password.

This is still available. Just please don't try and get me to believe this is the same as the current unit that sells for $599. This one has the orp and salinity probes which are another $300.

I believe they are emergency holes in case the overflow becomes clogged or you forget to top off the tank and the water gets below the overflow.
