    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. Got fed up and hooked up an old GFO reactor and it's gone. I had stopped using GFO years ago. Phosphates had tested near 0 so...

    The return of the reef / Gulf Coast live rock question

    I used real reef rock, Walt Smith I think, about 20 years ago and got gorilla crabs and a huge eunice worm. All the other hitchhikers I don't consider pests like bristle worms, spaghetti worms and different macros too. The gorilla crabs literally ate a huge leather and the eunice worm ate...

    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.

    What kind of worm is this?

    those suckers are fast. I had one about a foot long. Ate half of a huge toadstool, my entire clean up crew and yellow polyps and stuff I can't remember. I caught it with shrimp in a 2 liter. Put it in a 10 gallon. Terrified my kids friends for several years, lol.

    Adding vinegar toKalkwasser

    https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/content/post/using-kalkwasser My advice would be to adjust your parameters to where you want them and use kalkwasser to maintain your tank. I try to keep my ph at 8.3ish but no higher than 8.5. Vinegar in kalk will reduce the ph of the top off water minimizing the...
