None of those points have any interest to me at all to start a new DBTC. I used to start a DBTC in hopes to spread the coral and bank a coral. Most people here have used it to get free coral. Almost all chains don’t last past a single level. I don’t even participate in DBTCs anymore because I’ve...

dbtc hasn’t been successful in my mind. I pretty much stopped because there really only is a handful of people that seem to really participate. I suggested we “game-ify” it a little. Don’t know if it would help, but if someone has the time…. ;) Post in thread 'Bright Green Hammer'...

Your main drain would have a valve on it. It’s not the whole 1.5” pipe that would have to be blocked, just the opening in the valve. Nothing wrong with bean animal, I just feel in tanks this size, it causes you to lose precious real estate under in the sump area without much benefit. With a...

If only the main drain is clogged, then all water will go down the emergency drain. But if the emergency drain is too small to handle the flow, what extra water is not drained will eventually flow out of the display tank, meanwhile, some water is still draining into the sump. That water will...

This assumption only works if you have no more water coming into the sump. If the main drain clogs, but the emergency drain is not sufficient to handle the flow, water will flow out of the display tank while still putting water into the sump. Cheap balls valves will seize up or will be...

No scientific evidence as with anything else in our hobby, but I’m sure there’s some magic number that if you don’t have enough turn over in your sump (with dependence on DT to sump size) that your skimmer won’t be as efficient, heaters will have to work harder, fuges won’t work as well, and you...

I wouldn’t combine, as in connecting them to a tee, but as others have said, you could set that up as a bean animal (three drains - siphon, trickle and e-drain) and be okay. But then you have to come over the top or drill for the returns. Me personally, I hate the look of over the top return...

A 1/2” pvc pipe that’s gravity fed (no pressure) only supports around 420gph. If your main drain (assuming that you used the larger for the gated drain) were to ever clog, you’d have a good chance of that drain not being large enough to handle the flow and then water all over the floor. Under...

I’d make it two drains and a return, but the largest should be the emergency drain. The emergency drain should always be able to handle the entire flow of the tank and I don’t think that 1/2” drain would be enough for that. If you have enough space to get a larger bulkhead in on the right hole...

Everyone that sells coral in volume and does importing has a lot of pests. I wouldn’t just call out ASD. Unless it’s purely aquacultured and someone has had a meticulous QT the whole time, assume bad stuff exists always.

Don’t just throw it away. Soak in 9:1 water:bleach solution for 20-30 minutes first. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6431a4.htm

Potassium Chloride solutions are likely shelf stable for years and for the most part is not light sensitive. Mix away.

Too much work….. :p

Snail love is in the air (water?).

I personally think 10 gallons makes the most sense. Trying to dose 25mg of cipro in a 1 gallon is going to be a pain since pills usually come in either 250mg or 500mg. This pretty much goes for all other antibiotics in pill or capsule form. You might be able to get away with erythromycin if you...

I’d measure all four rounded corners too to make sure they’re the same.

Section cups while good in theory, always seem to degrade in saltwater and leave black smudges everywhere for me.

Marine pure is awful. Falls apart way too easily. I have used the Maxspect ones for years and they appear to be the same product as polyp lab l, but costs much less. I probably have 10-15 blocks throughout all my tanks. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/nano-tech-bio-blocks-2-pcs-maxspect.html...
