somebody get a school of this

My biggest fear as I'm also planning to travel for 3 weeks in the summer. My GFCI popped yesterday as well. I installed an outdoor outlet cover over my electrical outlet to prevent any accidental splashes popping the GFCI. There are so many little things that can crash your tank. I was...

Awesome. Definitely interested in DIY elements as well. I met another reefer that is making his own as well. I'll probably have a ton of questions.

I'm cool with overnight if we can get like 3-4 people. Let me know when you get it going. Can pick up at your office.

It's about 4 months since the tank cycle completed, and the tank is settling in. For the first 4 months, my goal was to keep livestock alive, and get through the ugly stage without crazy nuisance algae/pests. Got the CUC and tang gang in place, and killed off some GHA/Bryopsis. So I'm...

Anyone still doing a RC group buy?

So back to my DIY metal top trim for the tank. I went to Lowes and HD, and got some aluminum angles, brazing rods, and spray paint. Got some corner brackets from Harbor Freight for $4 each. Total parts cost is -$150. (aluminum angle ~$35x3, paint $20, brazing rod $8) I cut the 45 degrees...

It was horrible. It stunk up the whole house, Luckily, the kids and wife were out, and I opened up all of the windows. I wasn't even going to look at the skimmate locker because I assumed it would be maybe half full, but I kicked it...and I can see a bit of skimmate come up through the carbon...

I feed a bit more. I feed a whole sheet of nori, sometimes more. And 2-3 cubes of frozen. This is on top of the pellets and flakes on the autofeeder 4x per day, and also whenever I'm around the tank I throw in pellets/flakes. I also put in some coral food from Brightwell, freeze dried...

Just use plastic straws. If you stop culturing, you can use those straws to sip some agua frescas.

More food sounds good to me because I really enjoy feeding them. I'm already feeding pretty heavy. And I have an auto feeder going 4 times during the day with a mix of pellets and freeze dried food. I also feed nori sheet and a couple cubes of frozen. I feed flakes and pellets whenever I'm...

Most of the fishes have settled down, and I think there was a lot of activity last night because the new fishes were trying to figure out where their sleeping spot is. And the existing fishes were defending their territory. During the day, I see some tangs chasing, but nothing that is too...

BB folks put those chalice and let it grow on the bottom. Pretty cool.

I downgraded and left the hobby for years because I needed more time/space for kids and work. It is what it is. Take care of the fam.

Ali is doing a lot of cool things. He's like experimenting and prorogating, so I'm cool with it. And I'm trying to buy the fish in his displays, and it clearly says fish NFS in displays. LOL. If you haven't been, he's got one of the better shops around. Lots of cool displays. No pressure...

Keep the 225, you'll be back.

The pink micro goniopora and 1 of my torches is not doing well. The pink goni color has faded. But I have goni at the bottom of the tank, and PAR is very low. The torch's tentacle is getting very thin and it looks bad. I'm definitely unhappy about this. I took all of the torches out and...

That's a beautiful SPS tank. Definitely a nightmare for all tank owners. So sorry that happened. I nuked my first tank when I tried to kill red flatworms with FW Exit. So I feel your pain.

Well, if you offer enough dead presidents, he'll sell it. LOL. I tried to buy his powder blue tang, gem tang, blue starfish, even the starfish leg! Got denied.

Contact Ali @ Amazing Aquarium and Reefs. He was asking if I wanted a yellow tang and flame angel. I had to pass because I just added some tangs. Tell him you heard it from Jimmy and he might sell it to you. Ali is quite selective on what he is selling, LOL.
