    Power surge?

    I have been using these for many years without issue. I don't know if the included 15amp breaker inside has prevented anything or nothing has needed to be prevented? to be completely honest, I don't know much about electricity. Pretty low tech which I appreciate for my style & setup. I am...

    Plumbing Design for IM40

    I worry about the amount of heat a 57w bulb will add to 40-60 total volume of water. Maybe it is not a real worry and your heater just turns on less? A really big skimmer like the Regal 250INT 10" runs on 35-70 watts.

    Another Fluval Evo build from Walnut Creek.

    You might consider getting a test kit like @Gabtron92 suggested. It helps remove some guessing. There are some solid alkalinity kits around the 15$ mark like Salifert on chewydotcom or at your local fish shop.

    ReeFi lighting - has anyone used them/compared them?

    My buddy has one delivering today! He hopes to setup asap. I look forward to checking it out in person soon and hope talking him into choosing reefi was not a mistake. @Darkxerox bullet point of xr30 for xr15 price is hard to beat. The owner was very responsive when I inquired about adding a...

    Tank Quote Feedback for a friend

    Glass seems like the loss leader while a couple other items are gain leaders? The business isn’t getting rich off the quote in my opinion… unless it’s used gear that ends up getting installed. Who will be maintaining the tank? Business or tank owner?

    Algae scrubbers vs refugium: DIY, pros/cons?

    I think so. I can't imagine algae having the wherewithal to only grow in a designated spot of our chosing rather than anywhere it can.

    Algae scrubbers vs refugium: DIY, pros/cons?

    Check out Four Square Aquatics for something built much better than the Santa Monica basic stuff. Seems like the ferrari and the gentleman that owns it is documents a lot of his usage/results... and is a cool dude. https://www.foursquareaquatics.com/

    Algae scrubbers vs refugium: DIY, pros/cons?

    I used the santa monica rain2 successfully in terms of it growing turf algae on a 30g total volume and 85ish total volume system. Success in other regards, i don't know? I don't really measure nutrients. I no longer run the scrubber in hopes that more algae grows in the display for my herbivores...

    Great pics as always! The mp10s stick for you? Did you have to get creative to get them to hold? I have some mp10s sitting around waiting for use... I think I gave up too soon on trusting they would hold on the glass thickness.

    I could be way off but I think chummingham reef was fragging them a couple years back. I have not kept up on how it went or is going though. edit add: But I would be too scared to try myself.
