Hey Folks, Jeff with another article on an exciting new product for reef tank keepers. Today I wanted to take a look at the new product form Polyp Lab
The Live Sale was a neat way to do a sale, every few minutes WWC would drop in 5 to 6 corals with links that brought you to their website where you could pick up that specific coral (WYSWYG) for a huge price reduction. I was glued to my computer for more time than I care to share waiting for a specific acropora that I have wanted for a while. Is the Jason Fox Homewrecker Acropora worth it When it comes to justifying the cost of a coral it really comes down to how much you can afford and how much you’re willing to spend. For myself I will not be adding a Jason Fox Homewrecker Acropora to my 260 gallon saltwater aquarium anytime soon.
Not to mention this is an eBay listing (auction price) but I can’t imagine paying that kinda money for a zoanthid frag I guess the best way is to look at this purchase as an investment. Zoanthids are very easy to care for and most zoanthids will do fine in a variety of reef tanks. For the most part, if you dip the zoanthids before adding them to your reef tank, have good aquarium husbandry and have ok lighting… At some point, I will pick up some AOI Zoanthids for my own collection but I would be willing to bet that I won’t pat $42 per polyp.
Recently, I tested my levels and found that my Calcium high and Alkalinity low reef tank… way low. The relationship between Calcium and Alkalinity in a reef tank is a tricky one and to avoid disappointing my Chemistry Professor, I’m going to keep it short. But every now and again you will find your high calcium low alkalinity reef tank out of whack. In the video above is my thoughts on how to deal with high calcium and low alkalinity in my reef tank.
