As mentioned above, people can hang out here but the build will get lost in amongst the general banter.

Are y'all cool with a double hammock?

I will be “free” in 31 days - make it 3 hammocks! I will supply the rum!

I think we need a Sergeant of Arms in the new thread to keep it on topic. This thread needs to still live on too, so anything not related to your new tank, should go here. My 2¢ anyway.

I volunteer as tribute! lol. I’m jk, I don’t know the last time I made an on topic comment.

 

[Why-Me]

Off to Physical Therapy to hopefully correct this vertigo.
Thanks for all the support.

Oh, soft drinks and soda are things you drink. Pop is a noise. Coke is a specific brand of soda.

Can’t tell but I think it says best by oct 24. I’ve had the bottle for a WHILE, I only have a 28g tank so it just gets a few drops a day. It is absolutely at least 5 months old, I would say probably more like 6.

I swear by your products, I have never lost a frag and my tank does nothing except grow corals really quickly!

If it helps, I put about 1/4 teaspoon a day into my tank, first Phyto feast earlier in the photoperiod and then a similar amount of oyster feast a couple hours later. Sometimes reef roids as well. I also dose Fuel several times a week, and use Reef Fusion 2 part to keep my params as close to NSW as possible. My filtration is a filter sponge, purigen, a bag of phosguard I leave in and only change when I change my purigen, and bag of carbon. My light is a 150w 14k MH with a blue tinted DE Phoenix Bulb. It’s an old style acrylic JBJ AIO tank.

Thanks for the information and the positive feedback. This is a real testament to our phytoplankton concentration and longevity. It is safe to say that the algae is no longer alive, but the cells are still intact and nutritious. Refrigeration keeps the microalgae cells from breaking down. Also happy to hear you are using Oyster-Feast. We really appreciate you choosing us over our competitors. If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. We are at your service.

Happy New Year!

This is very curious, @Magellan. What is the date on the back of the bottle? I'm curious to know if it's 3 months or older. Thanks for this information. We have heard about our live algae out-competing other algal types commonly found in aquariums, but it's difficult to figure out how this is happening and if it can be replicated. Many hobbyists don't want to culture algae, so we are happy to offer this product.

I picked up a free bottle of your phyto from the Coral Farmers Market in Cupertino Ca. First off, thank you for supporting our local clubs! Second, my tank loves it. I add about 20 drops a day to my 20 long with refugium and my corals get a feeding response as well as my amphopod population exploding. Good stuff!

Thanks so much for stopping by the booth and supporting the Silicon Valley Coral Farmers Market! Really means a lot. Make sure to stop by the booth next year. I'll be working it, and will have some freebies on hand.

So glad to hear more positive feedback on the last day of the year. We are really looking forward to 2020! Happy New Year!

Soft drinks where used to tell the difference between non alcohol and alcohol drinks. During prohibition the drinks where harsh so they where mixed with soda.

It’s been my experience that they can change to female in about a month.

Cool, I will try and refer to her as it for 3 more weeks!

@Magellan meet shrek 2.0.

These guys where being kept in a tank with out algae. The biggest problem you'll have is starvation at the lfs. If they have been there long and with out algae I wouldn't buy them. These guys arrived Friday.

I saw a video that Inappropriate Reefer did of a show, and (was it you?!) said that if someone was only going to use 2 products, it would be Phyto Feast and Oyster Feast. I had just gotten a Goniopora Stokesi, was fairly new to the hobby, and thought why not try this? The guy also drank multiple bottles of phyto feast...hilarious, but I loved the commitment and it convinced me to give it a shot. 9 months later, my Goni is still alive and growing!

Yeah, that's a good looking Goni! Well done. Happy to hear our liquid suspension food was helpful. By the way, that was me that drank the Phyto-Feast, but I must confess, it was only Coca-Cola. It was a fun little joke that got a lot of people's attention. I may have to do it for real next time!

For everyone's information, Phyto-Feast is the most concentrated phytoplankton product on the market. You get way more algae for your money. And, it can last up to 6 months in a refrigerator. We pack 40 grams of multiple species of microalgae into a 6 oz. bottle for only $9.56 minimum (prices may be higher at retailers). If you are flying through phyto and are looking for something that is more dense, cheaper and will last a lot longer, please give us a try. Cheers!
