Got me excited there for a sec. I thought it was the ATI MS ones. I had my cc out and was ready to make some bad financial decisions. Lol Kinda glad it wasn't

Which site has this deal?

Ok. Now i get where your coming from. To paint my experience simply, I added the rock, sand, and bacterial products. Tested a week later and recieved and underwhelming diversity score. At first I thought it to be user error, so ordered another kit and connected with Eli to ensure I was...

The time line of bacterial additions are on here Post in thread 'Patrick's 81G - the last dance' https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/patricks-81g-the-last-dance.36088/post-542334 And the biome test was done a week after the last addition

I assume your tank would have been much older at the time this sample was taken, would i be correct in saying so? I took my sample from the my the inside of my return nozzles, which at that time, were fairly clean due to the age of the system. Although you may have added only a couple sources...

I've done both. TankDNA once and microbiome twice. TankDNA test was done mainly to see if I had uronema present after adding fish. Luckily I've been pretty fortunate and haven't added any fish since. I probably wont be repeating this test, as I didn't find much use for the rest of the data. I...

She's a keeper!

What happened to consolidating? Hahaha

Alot thinner too. Compared to the wires on the gyre, you can run these anywhere. When I had the stand designed I worried about the light arms sagging, so I had them cut with counterbores reinforced with two 90 degree plates on solid 1.5" 80/20. I was able to hang on it, mid bar, with minimal...

The tunze have a wire channels on the wet side magnet that you can loop the cord around then easily channel it in any direction. I have the cord running the top and just above the gyre, it makes it less of an eyesore. I wish they made the cord black instead of bright blue tho. For the flow they...

My CBB is in a tank full of greedy A holes. Anthias and a couple tangs make short work of anything that goes through the feeders, so my window of feeding the CBB is fairly slim and when the others are already stuffed. Hopefully the price on the AF4 drops tomorrow.

I use Rods when I need to get my PO4 up. It's been a while, but still have it. The chunky pieces go to my nems, although I have experienced issues with that after using the herbivore blend. I feed my CBB daily with piscine mysis. Drop in a chunk to a feeding cup and let it thaw in tank. He...

They are strapped to the articulating arm and ran through the 80/20. Tried to make it as low profile as possible

Ran the wires while I wait for the snow to clear. The light spill is ridiculous, so I'm going to need some lenses to cut that down.
