What's your average monthly electric bill in $? Also does that $253/mo cost include the installation of a new roof? How many years is the contract? Do you own or rent your house? Lots of factors here before looking into it more.

Def not the normal amphipod that I also have (the shrimp like ones that look like this): They look long and skinny, more like a long copepod maybe 2mm long. With a centipede style body shape. They're not quite munnids or mysids either, I tried digging through all the old Bob Fenner posts on...

Dunno, they have antennae but can swim and also hang on the glass. More food for the tank!

Back after being away for over a month. Got a pretty crazy amount of algae on the glass but that's expected. Couldn't even see into the tank except for the spots under the pumps! Pretty much everything survived minus a couple turbo snails and a couple frags that got knocked over. Hair algae...

Same goes for anemones. If they get into a power head you can have a big problem for sensitive corals.

Welcome @thomas.hei.tran ! We're a bunch of enablers so feel free to ask any questions about anything reef related. There's centuries of combined experience here.

@Arvin R will probably have packs available to purchase (I'll let him confirm though). Most importantly your friend will need to sign up and register here as a supporting member. But you'll end up taking home wayyy more than 3 frags since a lot of us bring way more than 3 to share.

The funny thing was Felix saying the pump has been a failure despite being really efficient, but it is super ugly and resembles a sex toy lol

Yeah it definitely helps when I use night sight when taking actinic photos with an orange lens. Full spectrum the regular settings seem to work well.

I was watching one of Than's videos and he said sometimes we actually are in a situation where there isn't much light (in comparison to daylight outside) and you can often benefit from using night settings on your camera depending on how blue you keep things. This works for corals of course but...

You're the copperband whisperer, Michael might need to get in contact with you to get one that's eating.

Message @Kensington Reefer he might have one he's cooking up to eat regular foods

My yellow wrasse had zero interest in bristleworms. Copperbands however seemed to love to murder them.

The main reef tank looked like an LFS sale tank though lol. The acanthos even were sitting on PVC.
