My Jason Fox Jack- O- Lantern has been rampaging lately. It was a good tank citizen for a long time but it goes on kill mode a couple times a day during lights on . Where it has sent out the sweepers it has lost its colour. So a heads up on this one to give it a lot of room and keep in in a low flow area to ruduce the sweepers and loss of colour. |

I’m back at it easy up grade!
My dosing intake is getting a bit much I have diy 2 litre containers. Tank is gobbling up 1700ml of part A(Ca)and 1700ml part B(Dkh) balanced equal parts every week. So I found the perfect 4L containers great price $2.99 at Toys R Us . 3/16 ridged air line from LFS $3.00 Small amount of air line that I had in my aquarium hoarding box.😈 Total build $12 (3 containers) |

Share time ! These are my favourite 2 tools that I use on a daily basis in my tanks the wezsnips are from Home Depot and the callipers are from Princess Auto both are stainless steel and very high quality. Feel free to share here on the kitchen your favourite aquarium tools that you love. Post pictures and where you got them and how much they cost you.
Thanks fellow reefers ! |

Wezsnips were just over $20 |
We shop at the same stores!
The princess auto forceps do start to corrode after a while. Mine are close to 10years old and rarely get rinsed. I’d recommend them too. |

Yup yup easy easy . I bought a verry small frag from frag box ca. I’m growing it out hooking up local reefers in my area I made 5 small frags on 3/4 plugs grew them out and took them to the Edmonton’s frag fest in October that Albert and Harvy have a hand in . The frags sold right away!

Drink some green beer keep your hands wet in your reef. Look what I found in my coral grave yard this is a sun coral . It was a cultured coral from Indonesia. They used a steel plate for weight and covered it with cement this has been decaying in my tank for years . I have been chasing my tail over iron poising 3rd time is the charm hope I’m done with decaying rusting iron in my reef . |
Probably had some good chaeto growth with all the extra iron :lol:

Has anyone in Canada been able to order and receive Indo corals .
I haven’t heard much talk, can anyone give the real scoop on shipping and prices. Haven’t seen pictures of corals or shipments yet. |
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0940b76b31.jpgI was out and today I saw these at Uncle Wiener's Wholesale. lights 6000k would make a great fuge light for growing macro algae and reverse lighting. You would need a heavy duty clip reflector.
