    Tank heating, Electric bill at $450 for last month.

    Bit the bullet and bought it. It's an investment and my ROI is great compared to other investments.

    Tank heating, Electric bill at $450 for last month.

    Tell 'em solar is definitely worth it. Replaced roof plus a 7 KWH system for around $40K before tax break. New tax breaks are even better. My gas bill and electric combined was less than $100 for January. My entire electric bill for 2022 was almost nothing. I have 4 tanks = 900 watts cranking...

    Rehab my green tip torch, please! Free to good tank

    I would keep params stable and feed it-not sure moving it is the answer. Might want to run carbon if you suspect chemical warfare. Sometimes it takes months for coral to recover from stress.

    Cyano?

    I've been battling cyano for about a year in an older tank with old LR & LS (12+ years, 100 gallon). Water changes, manual removal, refuge with macro etc. Nothing worked.

    Experts needed, tank in Additive Manufacturing (powdered metal) workplace

    Sampling water should work. Only issue I see with using fresh water fish or plants is I don't believe heavy metals would affect them like with coral. Look at the farm raised salmon and tilapia, lol. I'm curious to see if airborne contaminants get into the water column so I'll follow along...

    300 gal acrylic tank setup

    Sweet looking tank. Do you know the manufacturer/fabricator? Looks like the stand and canopy are wrapped with oak over a pine frame. Price of oak these days makes this a good deal lol.

    Interesting Read on Reefs in Hawaii

    Great article! Makes me want to book a couple weeks at the Sheraton Maldives, lol. The ReefOS sounds like it could be a game changer.
