What is concotion?

I really appreciate and like how you have thoroughly tried something, it has not worked, but that is still progress as we have now collectively learned something quite interesting and helpful for the hobby. Thank you 😊

Very nice looking full chunky frags Keith. Wish you were still shipping.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good Video. What do you think is better. Giesemann spectra vs reefbrite hybrid ?

Nice Video, what do you think is better. Reefbrite hybrid vs giesemann spectra ? Thanks.. i will Go back to MHL.. best light for colores+growing for acroporas..

I'm calling the quits after hearing not to use amino acids 😅

Huhhh.. recording on a potato and very hard to learn or understand much ..

Andrew, enjoyed seeing you on Keith's show. In your Polo videos, every once in a while I see a very large black and white painting of a woman's face and a rabbit, she looks very familiar but I can't place her, I wonder if you mind saying who that is?

Another great Podcast. I started my tank new with Caribsea Life Rock and I had none of the issues you mention Keith. I'm almost 4 years in. Just for another view.

The ‘concrete’ type rock I really do think is a bad idea. I don’t know how that can be called live rock really.

Those Jebao pumps are legit! I just added 2 to my tank. I have 2 mp40s but they have priced me out over the last few years.

I have my life rock in a bin in the backyard. It grows mosquitos great!!

I solve that same issue I bleached those same rocks. After time I used them in Dt never had an issue with them and coraline algae grew within 4 months.

Hey, would love to talk macro, phyto, and a few others things with you 🙂

Hey, Sean from AlgaeBarn. You might want to try out another strain of phyto. It looks like you are running nannochloropsis. Lots of more nutritious strains out out there.

Are you using kalkwasser? What kalkwasser brand?

I need to restart an overgrown 180. I have no market for most of the overgrowth really.

There are plenty of videos on what this thing promises to do but does it actually work?

I like the scape better than the first. Nice!

Good luck Keith. I know you have been struggling with that Cyano for a long time now. Cheers, Chris

Im at the 18 month mark with my Liferock, has been a nightmare process. Tank finaly crashed completely. Gonna start swapping it out with real live rock as much as I can afford.

Have you added any copepods or ampipods

Do you wanna sale your old rock

Looks great! I need a frag of the that hammer.

I like the scape!

What do you dose for such excellent mustache growth?

Where can I get those metal halide fixtures? 😮

🤩 I can’t get enough of those talks! Get them more often on the podcast!

Yes, the CaribSea sucks! I added it to my 600 gal when I upgraded from my 210. It releases phosphates all hair algae grew out of it! Took me 6 months to get rid of it. The REAL REEF ROCK is awesome! Try that.

Hey Keith great insight to the problems you've been having hope it all works out for you loving the green chromis what's you secret to success with them?

Thanks Keith great chat with fun and informed guests.

I haven’t had any issues regarding cyano with my CaribSea rock that I’ve been using for 4.5 yrs. Love the arch rock.

Claude's microphone is terrible !

Some of my corals look like they have the Paletta cramps 😂

When you guys first came on camera you all looked like you had just been having a very enjoyable conversation, darn it, I feel like I missed out on something good 😀 great show!!

Swapped mine out three months ago because of the same issues

Great stream guys! Just a thought on anyone switching to Bolus from ca reactor: monitor your po4 carefully, as it may drop from the difference of less po4 being added from your reactor media (if it’s crushed coral/skeletons).

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Allow me to join the chorus. I used this rock when I set up my new 150 gallon system 18 mo ago, and it has been a nightmare. Totally unstable microbiome, cycling between diatom and dino blooms for the 3rd time now

Hope you are not affected by the flooding, Keith. Give us an update, please.

I think you are smart to get rid of the Carribsea life rock. I had a 20 gallon nano running for two years without any algae issues. Then I decided to add some life rock arches. I cured the arches in the sump of another system for a few months and then put them in the nano. I did not remove my existing rock from the nano (so this was not swapping established rock for life rock). I started having algae problems almost immediately thereafter. Your Haitian live rock will serve you better in the display than in the cryptic sump. Good luck!

Was fun watching you guys ❤

I'm going out on a limb. Claude does not seem tired.

Not necessarily the brand, but I've had issue with dry rock from any source in multiple tanks. Still battling in one tank until I can afford to replace it. Your definitely not alone

It doesn't even look nice. I'd now only get live or dead live rock.

When did the cyano start appearing ? I just set up a little nano tank with this stuff.

Dry rock craze was the worst, tank & multiple reboots had all kinds of strange algae. GFO is a pain. I handle phosphate with water changes. Macro algeas have never grown for me, the melted away while hair algeas grew like crazy.

Not a fan of this rock either but other than lack of porosity don't really have algae issues after the initial uglies. I'm using it in a pretty low energy reef tank and it lost all its fake coraline and is taking forever for real coraline to grow over it. No cyano but I feel like this rock creates tons and tons of detritus. It is in a lower flow environment and I did saw many of my rocks to have them fit in but still. I should not need to siphon the detritus as much as I do. Most are siliconed to the glass so there will be no restart but I would avoid this rock as a backbone to a reef but rather consider using it if you wanted to add arches or other cool structures in an existing tank and even then there are other superior options out there. Plus it appears Solomon Islands live rock will be returning!

6 months in, exact same issues.
