bought the entire line of moonshiners but when I sent the 2 icp out they both checked out nearly perfectly with my normal routine.

I did go into flouride k iodine iron dosing. Little results but definitely fun to tinker with

This was probably the most fascinating thing I've ever witnessed. For a while now I've been collecting spawn from both male and female trochus snails. Tossing them into a clean hannah corvette, letting it sit then throwing it into the system. Had tremendous tremendous success with breeding hundreds if not thousands of them. Just have to clean the skimmer regularly but it's worth it.

I took it under the scope and slides to see how this all goes down. I do have a video. Here's just some photos I took from the device


Took the eggs. Added sperm, took a time lapse. To watch the eggs start splitting had to have been the most intriguing thing I've ever seen. It is indeed nearly how all life starts.

Wow... How cool is that!

Did you end up getting rid of the bubble algae or did the Naso and emerald crabs keep it in check? Have heard success with locals around here using Vibrant in half doses over 6-8 period and no adverse effects with SPS. Still hesitant

Emerald crabs absolutely demolished nearly all my bubble algae issues. Definitely great part of the cleanup crew that's for sure
