Urchins, emerald crabs, turbos have helped in the past for me - spending the time to do as much manual cleanup makes a big difference. Turbos and urchins will continuously knock over anything that isn't nailed down, so be ready to put stuff back daily. Algae scrubber or chaeto reactor could...

That's some pretty hefty sweepers!

Yeah there are EU/metric sizes as well, here’s a cheat sheet that shows min/max sizes for imperial vs metric: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/content/post/how-to-properly-install-a-bulkhead-in-your-aquarium

I was thinking the same, 1” for primary drain, 3/4” for secondary (herbie) and the other 3/4” for return if you aren’t “too worried” about flow. Otherwise you could cap it (or do bean as mentioned) and y the return with hob returns on either side as shown above.

Indeed!

This is fantastic

There are a few local FB groups, but they don’t really organize large frag swaps, though some of the local shops will do VIP type things, it’s usually more one to one sales/trades/help/advice etc. Quite a few people here are in the same FB groups I am.

He’s trying to corner the market!

Sure, let me know when!

Kalk paste as well, but you have to be conservative with either, never twice within a 24 hour period or you will definitely see some hefty swings (I do the same, target suction and a small 2-5% water change following the dose). Using both right now to reign in an aptasia outbreak, and some of...

Oooh I’m gonna have to come over so I can drool over the new tank and all the fishies! You’ve been quite the busy with new tanks and livestock lately!

See? There he goes again! He probably just painted another stick figure fish with a big red X through it on his tank to signify yet another reefer he talked in to becoming a member. But seriously, glad to have you as a part of the group, welcome!

Yeah, it’s probably just me worrying about things that don’t need to be worried about ;) I generally over feed - so try to be conscientious about what I leave sitting in there long term(ish) as I don’t always take care of it daily. Hell maybe once or twice a week to be honest!

I have this one as well, it’s OK. I’m not a fan of all the stuff that gets trapped inside - you have to scrub and rinse it every day otherwise you’ll have a bunch of decay in the tank if you slack off. Also forces the fish to compete for space and potentially get aggressive as with even a clip...

You just reminded me, I need to order one of these: https://saltwatersolutions.square.site/

Actually that’s how I ended up becoming a supporting member! EricSRT yelled at me on Facebook when I was complaining about it, also again when Tu was asking for us to share fun or new builds and I mentioned I would start a build thread on r2r. He basically bullied me into joining. We should put...

Take a look on Facebook marketplace, there’s definitely a local hobbyist doing this stuff for fun/on the side. Unfortunately the only guy I know for something that size is in Texas, so it’d be up to you to get him the dimensions, but I can put you in touch if needed, he might have better ideas...

I recently picked up a 150g with a (very large and heavy) solid wood custom stand with hood, sump, etc.. I’d definitely recommend the small apartment size UHaul, this stuff typically ends up taking a LOT more space than you anticipated. Two of us were able to move it without suction cups, but...

Indeed, chatted with a few board members earlier this evening about just that, so stay tuned!

oh missed that, deleted, and DM'd!
