Looks like I'm going to have to order a BattleBox. About three weeks ago my alkalinity pump was inadvertently turned on and ran for 22 hours before I realized it. My alkalinity was so high that the Hanna Checker could only register at 20 DHK and was blinking. Needless to say the spike killed most of my SPS. I've got the tank stabilized with an ALK of 9.0 now. I'm just waiting to make sure everything stays where it is before I add anything else.

I know how it feels and hopefully you have everything going your way this time !!! My ATO dumped extra RO water for 5 hours which brought my salinity to 1.020. Luckily i caught it before going to office .
Brought it back to 1.025 after 12 -14 hours .
Adam's corals are so amazing that even after being in my tank for only a week, all of them survived !!!! They didn't even care for the salinity swing and was showing PE hours after I brought back the salinity.. Tank is only 3 months old but acros are doing great . Only Adam's acros can be so stable.

Amazing !! They truly are Battle Ready ..

I would say "JUST DO IT !!!"

Regards,
Abhishek

Had the pleasure of speaking with Adam earlier today. Tank is 4 months old. Adam was very good at helping guide me in my first purchase. Asked appropriate questions about my tank. No pressure at all, was not pushy on the phone. I can't wait to see what comes in the mail.

4 months is way enough time for Adam's sps .I had my first tester pack in 1 month and still doing great .
If it's a baggie ,you would enjoy every bit of it .. I have a fair idea what will be there if chosen by Adam but won't spoil the surprise for you ;)
Enjoy it ..

Just completed my 2nd battlebox order (3rd purchase) from Adam today. Now the waiting game until the box gets here. Can't wait to see what is packed inside! It is literally like Christmas morning.

This guy's customer service is crazy! I had an order arrive a day late due to Fed Ex issue. He was all over it and made it right! I think we've all seen/experienced vendors on this site that have fallen short. This is now my go to supplier. Thanks again

I got my first BattleBox on Friday and no kidding its cram packed with fine stick-y goodness! Adam has great communication with the customer and the pieces are nice and polyped out in the bags. Packing is top notch and the pieces are generous for the price. You cant go wrong here.

Got mine last week. I was surprised to see them encrusting already even with being fragged a week prior. Amazing stuff for sure

I would love a box like that!! They are beautiful. I have not jumped in to the Sps yet just LPS and softie. I am just worried I don't have enough flow to keep them alive

If you are worried about flow, I can't recommend the gyre pumps highly enough. I have 2 in my jbj 45 and I can't turn them above 40% without moving sand everywhere.

In my Nuvo 40 I have 2 mp10s but when I turn the up my spawn/hammer and torch get absolutely destroyed. I might have to do some rearrangement so I can get a grabbox.

Agree the gyres are really good pumps for sps tanks! I welcome the dunes;)

The more I read about the ecotech pumps the more I'm totally put off by them. If anyone is running them make sure you CONSTANTLY open it up and inspect them cause the shaft is metal and will rust, unlike the gyre and was pumps that have ceramic shafts. Plenty of people have had their system crash from ecotech pumps.
