Hey Arnold long time no talk ! All well on the home front, just working and doing maintenance as a way to keep my addiction for the hobby sustainable. Of course if I win the lottery I may or may not have a ginormous warehouse dedicated to fish tanks :D How about you ?

Yep, I mean great idea for a business, and maybe the network steered them into the land of frivolity; definitely not of interest to most aquarists.

It's the 24hour fitness guys' tank. About 9' long an 6' tall, tank itself. 10' with all the cabinetry. Tell me about the coral inserts, they are not easy. I don't see anyone maintaining those without algae. Guess I've been getting lucky the last 10 years :D

No problem. It's not technically for sale. Although it would cost a pretty penny just to remove. But yes I closed my store a long while ago.

Yeah seems like an impossible sell. Custom 10' tall tank, was actually featured on one of the TANKED episodes. Not only is this huge, but moving it would be exceedingly difficult. Just thought I'd post this up to see if the interest level is above 0.

great example of how lightly we treat our mechanicals, not just talking amateur hobbyists but even diehards. such a contrast after working for a mechanical contractor for many years now. all commercial buildings have every fail-safe device imaginable - lead/lag pumps, water leak detectors...

old thread, but does he still need a home ? Hope he (and your others) made it ok anyway

I'm happy to put him in a 3500 gallon tank and rid that hlle (pretty curable in my experience). agreed on Carbon and general health

the only issue I see here is that puffer. they get huge and can be extremely aggressive, even in a 670g tank. can being the key word though. I would also say there's a more than 50/50 chance he munches on coral and I personally would not risk it. I also wouldn't risk a humu humu in there...

not sure what you said here :D but sounds like you were somewhat agreeing with me ? but then again i took spanish in highschool, not greek

guys i'm a rusty old fuck but am i right that the different pka of sodium bicarb will only allow a ph of like 7.8 as opposed to soda ash ? where's ian or mikey on this one ? :D and aren't we still just doing kalk to only bring up ph ? damn i'm out of the game son

stay away from fine carbon, it pretty much equals hith in my book. glad to hear you're (the yellow tang) is through it though. definitely strange since all you did was clean the tank - but hopefully you've learned something ? i usually look to learn something from each experience. like did...

make sure you got enough teeth for 5x tank turnover - yes sealed with silicone or whatever and final. you don't want fluctuations to your "set running" water line in the sump

yes most effective could be tons of fish with no territories. not very appealing visually though

i used to use transmore (sedative used in shipping), but gotta admit, a strong whack is a very swift death
