  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
  • Top Shelf Aquatics is a very well loved LFS with friendly staff and an impressive farm. Austin and Remy shared with us some of the important things they learned working with Zoa and made a few recommendations for good beginner Acroporas. Austin also shared his experience with using Dragon Breath macro instead of cheato as nutrient export. Huge thanks to Austin and Remy for taking their time out of their busy schedule to help educate me and you guys for recommending me to drop by this fantastic LFS!

    Very informative. Thankyou for shooting this. A great load of knowledge. Also that you can grow the same coral in the same tank and still get different colours. You learn something new in this hobby every day. Thanks inappropriate reefer.

Write random ridiculous prices on torn pieces of paper. 3. Shake pieces of paper in hat for 5 seconds. 4. Draw pieces of paper from hat. 5. Write down the number, add a $ sign to the number. This is your price. Finished.

      Hey man, just one or a lot of them? Try to collect them and place them inside a small bowl with little rubbles at the bottom of the bowl over very low flow area of the tank. The shrooms should attach to the rubbles in a week or two and you could mount those 👍
