Go figure

That's because you did the math... and math never lies... unless beer is involved!

Started mixing new salt water, next to the tank, in preparation for my first W/C Saturday night after the frag meet.

Wife not happy, lol.

But that doesn't explain our differing test results

I'd be unhappy too if you had a tank of saltwater on my wood table

Make a few extra gallons as you'll need it for dipping the corals you bring home

Your testing methods were meticulous, mine were reckless, nuff said.

Table is a POS, so no worries there, lol.

Not sure I'm bringing any corals home, think it's still too early. Maybe a LPS, as Rich has suggested, we'll see.

Good plan

Too many corals right now would probably starve/bleach etc. Hence the birdsnest experiment

Hope you're picking up some more test kits soon. Your birdsnest will appreciate it

LMK when you want to talk about dosing and bulk supplies

Picked up 3 corals from the swap today. A blue/green hammer and 2 chalices that just don't photograph well at all.
Seems one of the chalices has a feather duster living in the centre of it, bonus.
Hammer is all upset after the dip!

And so it begins

Yup... I foresee an even emptier wallet!

Here is a video of the feather duster in action. Since I only have 1 fish at the moment and feeding sparingly, does this new invert have any special feeding requirements?
