I tried...even bought the bin on sale at costco...then got the death stare from the misses when I told her what it was for...it ended up housing xmas decorations and me having to deal with a longer cycle. With my previous tanks, I would buy boxes of live rock...totoka, fiji, Vanuatu, pukani...

I had a chance to get some work in during this heat and was able to get my dosing lines ran. I wanted to keep them out of the wire channels to separate them from all of the wires. The neat aquatics brackets make bends look way better than the zip tie trick to space the lines out. What I...

Some of my fondest memories was mixing instant ocean for water changes with my dad in 1989..right when I was around your sons age... You're building core memories and being a great father...nothing to fault on that..yes, shit happens, and even my damsels (Alf and Heathcliff) died...

I agree....got a piece from Ed back then and it grew and looked exactly like this one. Same coralite structure and all.

This is an awesome thread...I hope they all pull through. Thanks for sharing

I was definitely caught off guard when quoted the price...I initially thought it would be around 1K..boy was I wrong..but for peace of mind and working toward a long term build, worth it, co sidering my house was built in 1950..AFA recouping any cost should we decide to move, I'm chalking this...

Staphylococcus is not surprising. I doubt there is much in terms of regulating the production of hobby grade products we use unfortunately. I don't see an additive company using a laminar flow hood to bottle each unit for sale anytime in the near future or anything remotely close to USP 797...

I went with LVP, as is gives the look of wood but lacks the warmth. We had radiant floor heating installed in the areas we'd be congregating in so wasn't worried. Ive had a tank on all types of flooring: Carpet- by far the worst choice. Your pad will never bounce back, it gets moldy, least...

Thanks Derek...this helps alot with how I should run it

When you ran the OG stratons, did you use the ATI app to control the light schedule or have them on a controller? I'm thinking about getting it wired this weekend but debating if I need it plugged into one of the EB8 outlets vs standard one on the ADJ strip.

If it's OSHA approved it'll do! We have the same at work..if it'll support my 6' frame with a horrible center of gravity, that's some magical stuff lol

I like the Little Giant steps tools...built like a rock and folds up when not in use..most importantly, they're solid when extended properly and give you a steady base to work from.

That was my fear with this light since I'm a big fan of shimmer..I always liked the halide look but T5 coverage..im hoping that since these don't have a diffuser like the originals it won't be as much of an issue. Worst case, I'll throw in a kessil or two to supplement. Spectrum wise, It seems...

Got impatient and started working on it at 2am...ill do the wiring later, but looking good so far..

Mann I wish I had room for one this size...the set up looks awesome..im diggin the ato in the back...less bulk under the tank

Bay Area Reef Enthusiasts ...can't speak on when it started, but I do know when I was going on there I was still on DSL connection and one of the youngins that thought aiptasia was cool..lol SEABay is even older...before my time on the forums..like mid 90s I'm guessing...Saltwater Enthusiasts...

That and tons of Dow flake! Haha Almost forgot about the sand...wasn't it called First down play sand or something like that?

One step closer to getting water in..Came home to this and couldn't wait to check it out. The shipment came in 2 boxes..one with the Fixture and the other with the driver, hanging kit, and power cord..all very well packed. As thin as it is, I was caught off guard with how heavy the fixture...

To bring you up to speed from 20+ years ago: -You won't find any VHOs or Power compact bulbs...if you were looking to reuse that gear, chuck it man..Except for a toms aqualifter...my old one still works..I'm convinced they can survive a nuclear attack now - that "new" vortech pump that came out...

Love the title lol Welcome back..I just got back from a 12 year break and things have really changed..I never thought we'd be dosing NO3 and PO4 haha Nice set up...that stand looks solid
