I forgot to mention here at my work I have a pair of 150 watt Peavey DS1502s. Inside are the original 15" Black Widow subs, and rebuilt genuine Peavey 22XT tweeters, with the original crossovers. They are unfortunately fed by a 400 watt Amazon amp that is plugged into my PC. Everyday I search CL...

Do these count? 1980s Peavey, and my Orange tube amp

$4, some scrap acrylic from Tap Plastics, and we have a skimmer stand

I was wondering that, because the skimmer in my 30 has an air valve. Yet the bigger skimmer did not. I did do some research and my particular model likes 8-9" of water depth. Currently my sump is 10.5" deep. So I think a 2" stand will put it in range.... And if I can't get it to tune I will try...

So I fired up the skimmer for the first time yesterday, and I think I need to raise it up. No matter how much I played with the flow valve it would fill the cup. Playing with the flow valve just determined how fast it filled the cup :( What is the best way? I think an inch would work. I was...

Checking the diffuser to see if I want to run the tank with or without. Also got my water tested, and the tank is clear to go! 2 weeks in, started with Dr Tim’s and live rock. We started the 30 with a pair of clowns. This time I think it will be a school of Banggai.

It weighs as much as a tank lol.

Got lights! Found a great deal on a pair of XR15 pros with mounts. Also picked up an Ai Refugium. Almost fish time!

I picked up one of the Avid frag racks at the coral show a couple weeks ago. So far we love it! and our hawkfish loves it too. It's his new perch.

Ammonia on my 30 is 0. Nitrates and Phosphates are a little high, I am starting to win that battle. We added a dragonette to the tank over a month ago, along with copepods for it to eat. And we may have been a little overzealous with the Phytofeast. Also I found out my wife was WAY overfeeding...

gotcha thanks :)

two of the rocks in my sump are live rock from Michael that were in my 30 gallon. I am not sure if it helped or not but when we first got the 90 we placed about a pound of new rubble in the 30 gallon. it was in the 30 for about a month before the 90 got up and running. I do weekly 3 gallon...

We use a whole 8oz bottle of One and Only, and 4 teaspoons of Ammonium Chloride. 4 drops per gallon, 100 drops = 1 teaspoon, tank is roughly 100 gallons.

So my wife and I kicked off the 90 with Dr Tim’s All in One, and fed the tank Ammonium Chloride. Dr Tim’s claims ready same day, etc. I picked up a Salifert test kit, and it has been two days now. Each time I test the tank it is in the .15 range. Do we give it more time? Put more Dr Tim’s in...

that is a great price too! Thanks!
