That's great news about the recovery. Yeah, it is true what they said about tech m, found the same results. I should have all your montis you desire and even a gallon of tech m if you wanted to go shopping at farmer Ty's next time you're in town. Just make sure you bring your membership card and I only take debit or American Express. Sent via Tapatalk

That's my patented monti cap glueing system. Sent via Tapatalk

Good luck getting that forklift in the house in under 10 secs! Especially if the door is locked! Sent via Tapatalk

All sold!

I'll throw down a frag of ORA hawkins echinata to slap Manny with a sea cucumber with a sea urchin tied to the end of it.

Who brought the jellyfish to the tank inhabitants slapping party? No fair! Participating in the slapping contest is free, spectators are asked to bring a frag to donate to their local chapter Reef Club to help people who have had a tank crash and need help to rebuild their tank homes.

I'll schedule in a facial today and let you know how it goes. Thanks for the advice. Imagine once you have all these pretty little corals growing in your tank... with the pretty face and the tank full of toys, you'll be unstoppable!

I'll come right back with a wet sea cucumber! Been around since 2007 sir... you're "new" to me! I didn't get an el Jefe visit until 2012... I'll give him a little bit of a break since he wasn't El Jefe until around that time anyways... though he did only come to buy some fungia plates from me... sigh... people don't like me... they just want my toys.

For future reference, I saw some Dr. G's medicated food at Aquatek the other day. Sorry for your loss!

I'm not actually an adult but I've played one in a TV movie once! What do you need?

I don't know anything about calibration but I'd be surprised if you couldn't borrow the one at RCA with the regularity of your Austin visits.

I got a used one back in the day so it worked out for me. If you're going to be serious about SPS, I'd highly recommend knowing your par values just for future placement of corals. Maybe you can borrow the one at RCA. I'd give the SPS time to acclimate to your tank before changing anything. They may just be adjusting to your system after being in another system. Your pendants are definitely mounted higher than in my old 125 gal. Mine was at 8" off water surface running 250 watts and I was getting 150-200 par on the sand... only good enough for any low light SPS only and zoas. Sent via Tapatalk

Looks like a stomatella snail to me James. Sent via Tapatalk

I've had a "cheap" stunner strip on the front of mine for the last 2-3 years for my dawn to dusk... and that's it. It's not even calculated into my par levels, just some nice blue for dawn to dusk and it cuts out 30 mins before and after my MHs turn on and off. I got it on the cheap though else I probably would have ponied up for a BML strip.

You got an official visit from El Jefe himself? Is that how he officially welcomes new club members now?

If you are noticing no algal growth and are truly reading 0.0 ppm on the hanna meter, I'd take your GFO offline like Bpb advises. Your salinity sounds like it should be spot on after reading your regiment for testing. Also your kalkwasser additions seem to be fine and doesn't seem like you're doing anything that would cause the STN. Just let everything go into cruise control right now and not add anything for a bit. We're aiming for stability from this point. If you can keep all your parameters stable for a couple of months, then I think it's safe to try to start adding a frag here or there of SPS to test it out.

That's wonderfully awesome! Sent via Tapatalk

Oh, one last thing, have you dipped your corals? If so, in what? Sent via Tapatalk

A few more questions, how do you use the kalk in your ATO? Are you decanting off the top after you mix and it settles? Are you pouring kalk straight into your ATO container? Also, see if you can get a 3rd opinion on the salinity, just for kicks. I'm more suspicious of salinity these days then what I used to be. Sent via Tapatalk

Yeah, I told James to abuse it and call it names... then he'll see more of the beautiful green base. Sent via Tapatalk
