I finally got the 10-footer filled earlier this month. I’m currently battling the ugly stage from the new rock, which was expected. The system is plumbed into the garage with 2” drains. Flow is handled by four Maxspect XF350s mounted on the back wall. I’m running temporary T5s for now until I...

Looks like elephant slugs to me. I would be careful, I’ve read mixed results regarding reef safe compatibility. From my experience, I added a couple to my nano tank during its “ugly phase.” They ate all the algae but then started munching on some SPS. I came out one night to find one feasting...

Quick update; went with @Bryce.martin23 to pick up some halides, and wow, what a haul! Swapped out the old Hamilton setup on the 190 for Luminarc minis, and turns out the bulbs I scored are Radiums. The look on these is truly something else!

That liquid teflon tape stuff is amazing but man does it make a mess!

What he said ^

I would like a frag of this one.

Lmao you guys are relentless
