@Randy Holmes-Farley, could I please ask for your help 🙂
Some of the R2R #reefsquad team has recently been discussing cycling tanks, and what this really means. Some of us have debated what the term "cycled" really means. We hope to create an article that will help newer reefers start their...
@Üter you killed it with the music today brother! I apologize to the morning crew, but I like to play something for everyone and my music tastes span most genres.
Everyone gets a turn.
#Smorgasbordafterdark for Paul. Wish me luck folks!
Doesnt appear to be living. Not sure what to make of it tbh. Looks like something got sucked up to the wavemaker. #reefsquad may be able to help identify it? Looks like something in the middle of decaying.

I'm sorry you're having some difficulty. I think this is likely testing error, what are you using for test kits, and please post the results of the tests.
With no livestock the ammonia should not have "shot up" unless you dosed more ammonia or something...

Your tank looks amazing, thanks for sharing this! That GSP really pops!

These fish can be highly susceptible to Ich infections. I would see if the R2R #fishmedic team can advise you on doing a medicated QT especially with a powder blue.
Here's the R2R QT process if it helps:

At 6 months old it's quite possible that these are not diatoms, but rather dinoflagellates or a combination of both. Dinos in particular can be more difficult to deal with than other pest algae. Here's some addition info on Dinos that may help...
The bristles typically fall out and the fish heals on its own, but I would watch to see if it gets any worse. If you have any concerns, the R2R #fishmedic team may be able to help.
Good luck!
One year ago, on May 11th, this tank got wet, so we are celebrating its first birthday! 🎉
This first year has been a huge learning experience. Starting from dry rock, focusing heavily on building the biome, and constantly chasing pH, this tank has done 100x better than my first reef from a...
Okay everyone. We are getting closer and with that I have a question for you all. I shot @BeanAnimal a message to see what he thinks about the design of the drainage. My mind has been pulled in 8 directions lately so I want to be sure I am not making any mistakes here as it can happen easy with...

Holding on by a thread... This one saddens me to post. No ruler, just ugh. At least the STN has stopped but Cyano is growing as quick as I can blow it off. I'm going to let it play out and see if I can get a healthy small frag or two in a month. It's definitely a fighter.#battlecrew

Time to whip out pictures of our pink sticks and compare how far they extend.... This is already going downhill fast and we're only 2 months in LOL. I couldn't let someone else claim their PE is better! #battlecrew

Thanks! Not sure how my wife got into the equation here so I assume it's a typo. 🙂

Thank you. 🤗
