Was going to mention emerald crabs but they didnt do anything for my tanks. Only thing that worked for me was vibrant.

Before I purchase the Redsea customizable lid or one of the many different plastic lids, I figured i'd reach out to see if anyone was selling a used clearview/octo/toplid lid instead. Need one for the Original / "V1" 250 tank as the G2 / V3 lids won't work.

I think your closest options are Tongs in Fountain Valley, Coral Gazers (though i'm unsure what they stock) in Tustin, and Ocean's Tropical in Mission Viejo. Seaside is one of the cleanest shops locally. Is the one up the 55 Amazing Aquariums & Reefs? They are pretty small. Reef Lounge is...

Setting up a reefer 250 (original) and i've been going back and forth between lid options (kraken, clearview, custom red sea, etc. etc.). Sort of a "budget build" so I have a bit of a hard time spending $200+ on a lid but if the quality is there, thinking it would be worth it? I've had...

Gone. Thanks! More Available as of 12/14. Gone again.

This is why i'll never do a NSA Aquascape ever again. My entire rockwork was 1 giant piece that was basically almost the entire length of the tank. It would have been so much easier if it was just stacked rock.

I think this might have been it. I should have went in and destroyed as many as i could myself. Then added the berghia. The guy who bought my nems out of the tank said that my aiptasia were massive haha.

Nothing now, already "upgraded" to a reefer 250 so i'm breaking this tank down because I feel like i've tried enough and its been over a year of trying. Went through 10+ peppermints from 3 different sources and went through 3 different file fish. :) Never put a dent in the population.

Gone again. Located in Tustin near where the 5 and 55 freeways meet. WTT for just about anything. Will probably end up giving it away for free. I just feel a little bad about tossing it in the trash.

My 20 Peninsula is the opposite. Display has all of them and the berghia living in the AIO area are keeping that section clean.

I'm setting up a reefer 250 so not all is lost :)

Appreciate that but I already started tearing the tank down and selling everything off.

You know, i'll probably never do a NSA Aquascape ever again because you can't just pull rocks out since everything is basically glued together. The 250 i'm putting together i'm just going to stack rock.

I have a 10 gallon desktop tank in my office. That'll be used as a quarantine tank moving forward. The 20 is getting shut down and sold/parted out or maybe I'll use that one as a quarantine tank. I bought a Reefer 250 so I'm starting to put that together.

Feels very defeating right? Like I've tried everything and it still doesnt work... but I can see if I had no upgrade path it would be even harder.

Water quality is good. Parameters are all good. I have RBTAs in there and corals were doing well. They are also living in the back of the AIO. I've moved them over anytime it was easy to grab one. It was pretty bad. Tank was basically overrun. The only places they didnt thrive was right...

Pretty sure I tried my best before deciding to start over / upgrade. Had a single aiptasia about a year and a half ago. Got him with glue. Next one popped up shortly after and tried to glue that one as well. Things got out of hand after that. Purchased Aiptasia X but that made it worse...

Is it that time of year already? Ugh. The wife will be nagging me to start putting stuff up.

I have a Honda EU2000i (newer models are the EU2200i) I've had to pull it out on several occasions over the last couple of years. $1200 new but you used to be able to get them between $500-$750 used. Yamaha makes a comparable one for a similar price. The engines in them are pretty bullet...

I'm beginning to think outside of the stand is the way to go.
