    Tesla PowerWall - Cheap Aquarium Battery Backup

    My 120 gallon tank uses an average of 200w/hr including heaters and metal halides. The lights and heaters are not on all day so the average wattage is not that bad. If I gave up the halides I might get 4 days out of the Tesla.

    Tesla PowerWall - Cheap Aquarium Battery Backup

    Tesla just announced the Powerwall, this is likely to become an ultimate aquarium battery backup.

    I agree, considering a small frag of TDF with lineage goes for around $60-80 I would imagine that would have been at least a $250-300 mini colony if it was captive grown.

    WTB- Red Robin Stag

    Hey Cody, we lost this coral a while back. It grows like a weed so it shouldn't be too hard to find a frag.

    Anyone ever beat dinoflagellates?

    Unfortunately you cannot filter out dinos because they're individual plankton. Dinoflagellates in our tanks are a photosynthetic plankton and they most likely become photosynthetic from ingesting (eating) algae kind of like our corals so they aren't really a typical algae and they need to be...

    Apex Jr. Base Unit

    I don't see the base unit on their order list, probably best to order directly from Neptune like mentioned.

    Yes, price is firm. I think the XF150 might be too much for your frag tank. This one has the old mount.
