    2023 Chalice grow out

    I thought about joining but unfortunately my tank is currently under a period of neglect due to some personal issues. Currently battling flatworms and cyano, don't want to add any new corals for a bit.

    I'd love to go but I owe a lot in taxes this year so I don't think I could convince my wife to let me go.

    Tropic Marin Pro Salt

    How has your experience been with the blue bucket? I usually use reef crystals but the price differences are no longer as good as they used to be, so I'm curious if the $10-15 for a bucket is worth it.

    Stand paint

    Moved to General. When I built my own stand, I did the following. Painted the entire interior with like 4-5 coats of Kilz white primer. Then I put 2 coats of liquid polyurethane just to be extra sure.
