Crazy! Almost makes me want to take down my tank.

My favorite is the Koji Wada. During daytime blues the color is nothing special, similar to my xenia or sinularia. But at night it is a true pink. Night: Day:

This is from the energy.gov website: I am not connected to the electric grid? Yes. A solar PV system does not necessarily have to be connected to the electric grid for you to claim the residential federal solar tax credit, as long as it is generating electricity for use at your residence...

But you guys are talking about grid-tied right? I meant completely offgrid, i.e on its own circuit not tied into your house wiring.

Do any of you run an offgrid solar setup specifically for the aquarium and nothing else?

I recently lowered my peak settings from 98W to 85W. I have CSBs directly under them and they would keep migrating to the very bottom of the rock and leaving the highest point empty. Initially that was fine because they moved one at a time and I could pluck them off and sell them but now they...

I have one from Kraken Reef. It is cheaper than the other options and very fast shipping… I got my custom one in under a week! However the polycarbonate is thin enough that it sags in the middle. They broke my screen up into two 24x18 sections. I heard the other premade brands are thicker. I...

Thanks! Over the years I have put discs under discs. First 1/2”, then 3”, then 4”, and finally a bunch of live rock rubble that I glued together to form a flat plate underneath. Their feet are still on the 4” disc so I think I have a while before I need to expand again. I’ve heard that the OG...

Hey I use a Canon 5D MK2 I bought way back in 2009 with a nifty fifty lens. Maybe current gen smartphones have better cameras?

Hey guys, anyone else have big WWC bounces that haven’t been cut long term? I got a few comments recently on my little mini colony and thought I would share a pic. I bought a tiny bounce frag with a single bubble about 6 years ago and since then it has naturally split into a grand total of 3...

I don’t have any sps. If I did I would definitely crank higher.

Here are my settings for the past 8 months. I have a Reefi Uno 2.0 over one half of my tank for the nems. The other half has a Kessil A360X for LPS and softies, mainly because I didn’t want to pay for another Reefi Uno light. They are way cheaper than Radions but still pretty pricey!

I had a few black mollies in my reef tank for years. Purchased from Albany Aquarium. I just threw them into the tank without acclimation. Some mollies do better than others.

Bought this guy at Aquatic Collection in 2017. Only turbo snail in my tank.

Hey guys! I'm transferring my 9 year old tank to a new tank, but I'll need to move my livestock into a temporarily holding tank in the interim. I'm specifically looking to borrow a 50 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank or something with very similar dimensions for maybe 1-2 weeks. I'm in El Cerrito so...
