Nice. My speciosa mini colony didn't make it to shipping. The 2 polyp and 2 baby strat was nipped by his file fish. I refunded. Very disappointed

Dang file fish... I want to love them, cool oddball, but the nipping... Nope nope ..

Y’all don’t know the pain. Got filefish for aiptasia on my beautiful reef. He ate it all. Then ate my acans and zoa and torches and hammers.

Family was in love with the quirky looking filefish. I couldn’t keep acans or zoa or euphyllia for 3 years. 3 years!

I moved mine to the other tank, he only eats zoas. Guess I was lucky.

I will be fully transparent.

They offered to build it for me for 800$. No reagents needed. Payment on completion and proof of successful functionality. The photo sensor needed to read phosphate doesn’t exist and would be custom created. They are confident they can do do this. Device would be Bluetooth or local wifi only - so you can view everything from an app but only when on your home network.

Let’s say this works out and a device is created that reads all these things without reagents, multiple times a day

• pH
• Temperature
• Salinity
• Ammonia
• Nitrate
• Phosphate
• Dissolved Oxygen
• Magnesium
• Calcium
• Alkalinity

Would anyone buy one for $800?

That is somewhere between, "I have a bridge to sell you," and, "yeah, you prove it works I'm in."

Dear friends, I did it so you won't have to.

I've learned a lot from a lot of different people in these threads and appreciate the community. I've gotten a couple good deals and hope to get more in the future from the community members. I am also particularly skeptical without hard data, so in a moment of reciprocity, and after a few adult beverages, I decided to see what Jersey corals was all about.

This is the picture of the JC OG Holy Grail that I receive tomorrow.

To be continued...

Friends, reefers, countrymen, lend me your ears.

Or eyes, in any case. Box arrived safely around 1010 and it was inside by 1023. Temp of the water was 67. Packing was good. Very retracted. Dipped in reef primer for 5 minutes for pests followed by 5 hours in KFC for bacteria and recovery.

It's always hard for me to get gold. These are top down, obviously. On the brighter side, definite gold tint. Size is not huge, but looks on it's way to splitting. No pests observed from dipping.

Honestly I'm happy with what I got for the price. It is not an SBB bright AF HG, but it's certainly a holy Grail.

Note: phone pic, no filter.

Surprised to see a can like this in the Bay Area of CA. Love a brewery that doesn’t care about censorship Pretty good drop too

 

[whammack]

Anyone know when the next sale will be?

 

[BasementBox]

I am in communication now with a programmer who claims they can make a device that Monitors

• pH
• Temperature
• Salinity
• Ammonia
• Nitrate
• Phosphate
• Dissolved Oxygen
• Magnesium
• Calcium
• Alkalinity

With no reagents. For 700-800$

If that’s true he could make a fortune.

There's one schedule for Black Friday. Exact dates yet to be released @SBB Corals

Offensive against girls named Amber?

 

[mww00ds]

Well i guess I'm not getting my order from Dinkins laquatic gardens today. THANKS UPS. Supposedly it was loaded on a truck for delivery at 9:45 this morning and it's currently 9:45 pm mst. So yeah.

I’m very interested but I mean I’d need to see its reading match that of a Hanna egg with the margin for error. I mean. If it sounds too good to be true with no reagents…. You think no one else with funding wouldn’t be hacking at this?

i think i would if i didnt have to use an app. id much rather just have a little device that it came with solely for that purpose

Sounds like Black Friday.

I’d be very happy to have something like this. Not sure measuring phosphates is worth doubling the price, would be very interested in the non phosphate version! Sign me up let’s make this happen.

 

[SudzFD]

If we take phosphate out of the picture they can do all the other stuff above for 400$

Yes yes yes!

They claim to have the electronics and programming background to do all of these readings with a photometric sensor/s calibrated for certian wavelengths and reactions with light.

I directly challenged them and basically said forgot about all your claims. If you can make me a device that reads phosphate, without reagents, automatically or on demand, and logs / presents the data in some easy way, I’ll be your first customer. And I volunteer my engineering and programming background to beta test and bug test for free

They told me there’s no point in phosphate only, as phosphate is the most difficult one, so if the device can read phosphate, it already will be able to do all the other tests

I already have the egg testers or digital testers for all major items in the list.

They also said they can do the non phosphate version for 400.

I am gathering market info for the builder / creator so they know what the demand is for and can eventually start a business based on what the people want

Obviously it’s intriguing. But I’m one of those skeptics. I can trust but I will verify first, if there’s actual backing with it and actually made/works, then consider me sold, but can’t agree to being a lab rat on the forefront of a product that I’m sure many other companies are after as their holy grail.

Why not make this and sell it for 3/4k a pop, reagents are gone. Huge profit, and let’s say they survive an average 2-5 years? $$$$$$.

That said. Heck yea. Get your folks on that.
