Solid dump!

Test out the larger ato container if you use a larger one. If the water is high enough, a siphon can be created and dump more water than needed. My setup acts this way if I fill my res over the 8g marker height. Not a full siphon but takes a minute for gravity to win/stop the siphon.

Maybe somewhere in the middle of the spectrum of others, although I hope better than average. Hard to grade myself. It takes mental gymnastics for me to justify my participation in the hobby sometimes. To help with that, I try my best. But trying my best might be different than others trying...

Do you have a group of tangs in mind you are hoping to keep together?

This is a tough question to not give a generally speaking answer to. It has been said over the years to keep different body shapes together if keeping multiple (same as what Eric said but with different words). But even that sometimes fails to keep aggression down.

That is interesting. Are they relatively new to you? I always figured if things bleach, try lowering the light to see if they color back up. I have absolutely zero experience with bounce mushrooms. Excited to see how it goes and thanks for sharing!

I don't wish there was a fourth that bleached but having a fourth to do nothing to would have been interesting to see. What was the par they were in when they bleached?

Time for 3-step ladder lol. That handle isn't even big enough to place a "This is not a step" sticker let alone two feet.

My black sponge grows more blob like than your silo like towers. Maybe just different stages of growth but same type? It has been in the tank for several years and grown at a slow rate and mostly in shaded areas.Slow enough that I have let it ride. Here is a pic from the web that shows similar...

lol Worked in orthopedics prosthesis sales over a decade... I hear lengthening procedure is crazy painful.

Thanks for sharing!

If you do, I believe the diamond coated blade will be much nicer than the metal cutting blade. My local Ace did not have them in stock but I see them online all over the place.

Under a minute! I failed/gave up the first couple of attempts with other tools. Wire hand saw was going to take me three years (wasn't diamond coated to be fair). Japanese style pull saw was also slow going. Bone cutters only got me past the outside 1/4" with small snips at a time. Luckily the...
