That's border line bad, but can wait until you do a water change tomorrow. Don't go too large as the swing might be worse than the current level.

Well, I think markup can be reduced a bit there, but ultimately, if an amazing acro shows up I would be willing to pay that. Unfortunately I'm probably an exception, but people are paying almost that...

If you put it in the room, it will boil your sump. Promise. I would plumb it outside the room, near the gate, and build an enclosure for it. If you don't want to do that, put it in the garage. I run...

No, the pieces coming in were never nice, nor will they ever be. They're just substandard pieces.

Why are (most) Canadian SPS garbage?

I mean really, why can't the standard supply chain supply something that the LFS can actually sell.

Mine doesn't order SPS because they can't sell them. They can't sell them, because they're crap....

Jesse, if you post in his forum, he can do whatever he wants. If you post outside, it doesn't get removed. Canreef itself is fairly forgiving when it comes to expressing opinions.

Well, perhaps. But I had no measurable NO3 for the life of the tank, and didn't spend any money on biopellets. So whatever I do without pellets works too. And less effort.
Maybe the rocks do work...
