I swear if I ever found one that big in my tank, I pour napalm all over my car, the aquarium and floor of my own house, I then place a weight on the gas pedal of my car, driving it into my house and into the aquarium, setting off an explosion of epic magnitude. Then I change my identity, buy a...

I have an mp10qd and a small jebao ow in my 34g display. I am planning on adding a couple sps, so I want to increase flow. I am trying to decide between getting another mp10qd or trying out an octopulse 2. Just looking for some opinions! Thanks!

I've never seen a snail with a mouth shaped liked this or even a snail rocking a crab shell. What sort of algae sucking demon is this?

I had both. Honestly, it come down to aesthetics. I started with barebottom because of all the lower maintenance talk on forums, but then realized within the first 2 months that I hated the way it looked. I've had a half inch sand bed for the past year. I give it a light stirring whenever I do a...

I agree with this. My AC is the same. It has to run almost all day to keep the house in the low 80's. The price to do that in the IE is insane. Initially, I was worried about heat and cost to run a chiller too, but I bought a chiller that was oversized for my tank volume. It turns on about 2 to...

I have been in the hobby for just about a year now. Before I got into it I was living in reef forums and studying up. I heard a lot about how you should support your LFS'. So I tried to do just that, but it has quickly become clear that many LFS' make it really hard to support them. I have had a...

I found out about it the day after it happened, so your not alone lol

I am also trying to build an equipment cabinet. Any ideas on the best way to integrate this into a cabinet with an ato reservoir? I am trying to de-clutter my living room.

I actually just realized that if I turn my protein skimmer off completely the water level in my sump rises and eventually my salinity does too. So running it dry sounds like a good idea actually lol

Do you think I should slowly build up the time it is off or you think it would be fine to just start shutting it down for like 4 hours a day??

Oh dang I wasn't even thinking about the pH. That's a good idea. I was about to do the opposite lol!

Oh sweet. Yeah the percent off sounded to good to be true to me, but that doesn't sound bad at all. I'll have to check it out next year. I really want to upgrade my cube to a long tank eventually, but I have to be able to justify it somehow haha.

My nitrates have zero'd out and some of my corals are not growing as well as they did when my nitrates were 5-10 ppm. I run my protein skimmer 24/7 and my chaeto light is only on 4 hours a night. I was wondering if there would be any negative effects if I turn my protein skimmer off a few hours...

Did anyone go to innovative marines scratch and dent sale?? How scratched and dented are we talking here? Worth it?
