Water changes do not bring up your values, at least to that of original amount unless salt has elevated (above what you normally want to run) values. e.g. Fresh SW has an alk of "100", over time that number drops to "80", you do a 10% water change with the same brand of fresh SW, so 90% of...

Look at all that space you have to do activities! (Step Brothers reference)

Neat tank size, don't often see 24" wide tanks that are only 3 feet long.

@MolaMola @Max Mangolin big thank you to you two. Just make sure to get there at the 11am time frame so that we can get the tables set up where they need to.

@popper It should be noted that if the coral they think is "bonus worthy" is not on the list it needs to get preapproved prior to the swap, there will be no judging of "bonusess" the day of the swap.

Updated the first post, looks good except for swap patrol area, other people willing to help can just make work less for those other jobs. Yeah, this needs to be addressed.

I'm curious about the setup, how are you going to oversize the heatsink? (make it bigger duh!) and how are you going to have a completely enclosed area? Gaskets/silicone? I get your desire to go fanless, but fans themselves don't typically clog it's the tiny "dust cover" that they typically...

Well going on vacation for a couple weeks was your first problem, don't you know you're not allowed to leave a tank more than 24 hours at a time!

Never used lids, but then again I also researched which fish were "jumpers" and never got them (well almost never), I will say I always did typically keep a low fish count compared to most for similar size so that may have had something to do with it. That said, yes rimless/lidless looks nice...

All this time in the hobby and never any tangs Art? Wow. That said, I have never fed tangs nori, I've tried but they quite literally have never eaten it, so I would do a mix of "green and red" flake food. Autofeeder should be fine for that.

Parachute certification no longer valid? There's a big courtyard you can land right into :D

When you say it emits an unpleasant smell, is that in general you can smell it in the room? Or if you stick your head deep into it and get a whiff? Personally I go with Jon's #1 solution, just ignore it. Saltwater that comes pre-made with life, people pay good money to get that out of...

Table is great, thanks. Chairs not needed as the mezzanine area is a proper restaurant area so there are chairs for people to sit. @JVU thanks for the 2 tables. I think we are good for setup, a few people who are "wherever throughout the day" so pieces we can plug in, would like a couple...

Also if anyone uses this shoot me a message, or post here, and I'll delete the photo so no one gets excited about saving some money. I'm pretty sure these are 1 time use codes.

If you bring any "non fraggable" item to the swap it is your duty to take it back home after the swap and not just leave it there if it doesn't get picked up. Ideally I would try to pre-arrange with someone for something like an urchin, the reason why corals and anemones tend to be "OK"...

Please only use it if you are going to use it, not just see if it's worth a bunch off

Would like to put a call out to see if people have folding tables they can bring for the swap.

Yeah exploding electronics is scary... but the unfortunate thing is some electronics components do explode if damaged whether it's an electrolytic capacitor or the battery that is inside a phone that you probably keep in your pocket next to your sensitive "stuff" :) GHL stuff is expensive, it's...

I'm confused, you said a month ago the light was acting up, but then say the light wasn't acting strange days prior? So it was acting strange a month prior just not before the kaboom? I mean not to try to sound like a GHL fanboy (I'm not) but 4-6 years for a driver doesn't sound horrible, the...

Swap time changed, new hours reflected in first post.
