    Monterey Bay Aquarium Behind the Scenes Tour 5/19/23

    I would love to join if possible. I’ve put in for me and a +1 if we happen to have space. I’ve heard wonderful things about previous tours. It’s so great that Matt is willing to do this for us. Thank you!

    Bulkhead question

    I see that it’s common to use ABS bulkheads for the overflow of an aquarium. What do people use to connect PVC pipe to an ABS bulkhead? I’ve got a new 120 gallon acrylic aquarium with an internal overflow with holes in the bottom for overflow and return plumbing. It came with what I believe are...

    Build thread etiquette?

    What is the general build thread etiquette in terms of where to post your build thread or when it's OK to duplicate on multiple sites? I frequent both reef2reef.com and bareefers.org as well as sometimes visit humble.fish as well. I'm getting ready to start a build thread and post about my...

    Where to find 1/4” x 1/4” male NPT fitting locally

    I checked HD and Lowe’s, but Ace or possibly Osh is a good idea. They do tend to have some more specialty parts. HD does actually have brass fittings that would work, though I’m not sure how advisable those are for use with plastic.

    Looking to hire help to run water line through crawl space

    I am setting up a new tank in my family room. The tank will be a peninsula style behind my sofa, somewhat in the middle of the room. I am planning to run freshwater, saltwater and waste water lines (along with an Apex / 1Link cable) from my laundry room under the floor to the area under the...

    Neptune apex inkbird heater help

    Doesn’t that risk burning out the outlet relay in the Apex? How many heating cycles do folks typically see in a day? I’m wrestling with the same question for a new tank still in the planning stages. I’ll have two heaters each of which is enough to heat the whole aquarium. Ideally I’d just...

    Flow Question for MP40/MP60 folks - Peninsula tank

    I'm looking to try to do the same thing with my forthcoming 48 x 24 x 24 acrylic peninsula tank. Will 2 x MP40s likely be enough for that (LPS/mixed + fish)? For the same reasons as above, I'd prefer the VorTech powerheads over a gyre style. Not having to remove the cords to clean is a...
