There is something nice about ramping, but I've come to the conclusion that it's simply because you get a few different color schemes, whiteish-blue, blue, and maybe "dark" blue ("violet") but that is something that you could also do with having separate channels to on/off, you simply don't...

Was going to say, change my shirt which most likely is very wet, or a hot shower to wash all the salty stuff off my arms. Helping that drought one rain drop at a time?

Never put them in your tank in the first place is the best solution :D I've heard ice cube in a ziplock bag my irritate them enough to move, but if they bury their foot inside a good hole in the rock... you're stuck.

I'm guessing this is only if you use media that is made from coral skeletons, which yes a lot of media is, but if you use one that uses a simple aragonite or like the DeStaCo one with marble(??) chunks those ratios are not the same. This is assuming those ratios in seawater actually make a...

I've never been a fan of calcium reactors, but mostly for financial reasons, nothing to do with their effectiveness. Just too much added cost to what a CaRx costs and the total cost when you add on all the necessary equipment to make it work. With Kalkwasser you get a mixing vessel of some...

Yeah they did that at my old school once, just left them out in the hallway at the end of the semester, thought about it but really didn't have a need for one (this was pre-child, now I'm wishing I did get one) but I did notice someone in the astronomy department with one her desk like wrong...

Nothing says you need to monitor the tank 24-7 either. Going on vacation, when you make sure your ATO is topped off take a peek at the CO2 weight, and if really close to empty canister weight then swap it out.

I mean think of doing it the natural way, in nature coral reefs pop up then the fish move in, not the other way around where fish are there and corals decide to move in :D

Well since John piled on... how about the one with Samuel L Jackson... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0393162/

Short answer is no, there is no reason why that would not work to run 4 DC pumps at 24VDC each. Longer answer, all the electronics that make it work are open to the atmosphere, in fact it is actively cooled via a fan so pulling that atmosphere and blowing it over the components, so if you still...

Would a tank even float? I mean you can't submerge the whole thing, don't want to mess up that expensive regulator, so the buoyancy would be equal to the volume of water displaced which is extrapolating from some online numbers (a bit hard since all of them give a height including the valve...

Not Apex related, but you could just throw it on a scale and have another camera pointed at it so you can visually see.

It was about $1k for an 8.4 gpm (157kBTU) condensing unit. The $5k price was a plumber's quote for a friend. Not sure how much additional work would have been needed there so it may be justified (probably not though) Yup, part of the problem that ate away at all the savings of the cost was...

... with a water heater. So long story short, traditional water heater leaked, had to replace it, would have gone hybrid electric if I had electric already but I had natural gas which still is cheaper to run IIRC, plus even PG&E are a bunch of dillholes who don't give you a rebate unless...

FYI the biggest issue with anemones in powerheads is that the little stinging cells that normally are attached to their tentacles can get chewed up and thrown in the water column and they are still capable of firing off and stinging everything that gets into contact with them. Not sure if...

smelled like a dead cat... I like it. Reminds me of my first push into this hobby ages ago where I got live tonga rock, 2 - 46 pound boxes, flown from Tonga to Las Vegas (for some reason) and was apparently stuck on a tarmac for most the day before they transferred to another plane when LV was...

It fits on that tiny TV stand in the living room? :D

Ok looked up that one on youtube, oh boy, does the pulley/weight thing still come with the tank? Man I swear these guys are such clowns, my "favorite" still is the one where they turned the tank into part of a skateboard halfpipe ramp, like seriously boys do you make these suggestions? Or...

Youtube showed me a tank from the SJ Sharks, wasn't 10' tall, hell wasn't 10' long it was 16 feet long, so unless they did another one. The one I saw looks pretty decent... well after you rip out all that fake coral insert and "theming" garbage :D

10 foot tall? Sounds like tanks that used to be at the Rain Forest Cafe, but that place closed down years ago.
