So if I can convince my parents to take me to the LFS I’ll buy some. You might also want to get a small turbo snail and an astrea snail if you can, especially if you can get a ninja star astrea snail. 2 Quote Link to comment

Would any turbo snail do? How many astrea snails and turbos? 1 Quote Link to comment

I get this kind: Hard to say how many, you don’t want to get too many and have them starve, but at the same time given the covid19 situation it may not be easy to get to your LFS to get more... I’d probably get 1-2 of each type personally... maybe others will chime in. And then I always get tons of tiny ceriths and nerites from reef cleaners. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Turbo is a pretty good movie from what I can recall. otherwise I’m placing my last order on amazon for a while in a few hours I also get to remove my filter sock finally I’m hyped. I know it’s been too long I got no excuse, but it will be out soon I hope. Quote Link to comment
banasophia Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Oh man I never test magnesium... I’ve only tested it like twice ever in my Biocube 16! 😬😬😬 I think I am a bad but lucky reefer... knock on wood. I use this filter floss, and I use chemipure elite and purigen...

I feel like I’d like to know how my reef parameters are just to know what’s going on in my tank if I see a problem more tests to help me identify it. And thank you. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment

I was gonna add a “pokey thing” to my amazon cart because I didn’t have free shipping so asked the chat what they would recommend and they all voted for pokey thing.

Ah gotcha... well if you’re ever looking for reefing stuff to add to your amazon order, the first post in my Biocube 16 thread has a list of stuff I like, most with amazon links... not sure if the links are all still active since I haven’t checked them for a while. What state do you live in, btw? 1 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 ^ that reply is clear as mud. Still no idea what the pokey thing is. Sounds sexy! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Ratvan Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 A pokey stick. Stirring sandbed, investigating critters without your fingers ending up getting bristles in them or stung by a conch/dove Snail. It was also late and I had indulged so wasn't the most descriptive. I did post a monthly python skit too I think? 1 1 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Essential tool for reefing. Cuts down in hands in the tank. Main tank this means getting bite by my clowns less. But now with the pico and so little space it is used more than ever. It is 10” I wish I had one even longer. 1 Quote Link to comment

Chadicus Meridius Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 Mixing saltwater. Just flexing my heaters. Got no wave pump to push water so I’m manually stirring it . It’s in my DT the wave pump. 2 Quote Link to comment
Chadicus Meridius Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 I always tend to mix saltwater to a higher salinity and have to dilute it with rodi water, but hey I get a bigger WC. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Chadicus Meridius Posted April 18, 2020 Author Share Posted April 18, 2020 So the water heated up but a bit too much. 89 degrees. Not DT water. @banasophia I’m picking up snails today if they have them at the LFS 1 1 Quote Link to comment
