Any ideas on what is causing the seams to fail on these tanks? Are the seams really that fragile? I'm asking because I have a Red Sea Reefer 250, and wouldn't want my animals to go that way...

I'm in. Link to my tank journal below. https://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/andrews-red-sea-reefer-250.33174/page-3#post-480397

I'm in!

Today I measured PAR using the club's Apogee MQ-510. What an awesome perk to being a club member! Below are my measurements running 3x kessil A360X at 65% intensity and 15% color: I think for the most part, numbers seem OK? It's challenging running a mixed reef, I think some of the SPS could...

Likewise! Nice meeting you.

Saw your post on r/ReefTank! Curious to hear about your experience with the new AI blades if you choose to go that route. Are you looking at the 48" fixtures? Given they are each $400, It seems like you could also get 2 radion XR15's for only a little bit more $. I'm definitely intrigued by the...

My water changing setup: 5 gallon bucket Scale to measure 810g of IO reef crystals (mixes to 35 ppt) Wavemaker Heater + Inkbird set to tank temperature I usually let it mix overnight.

I'm running 3 A360X on a 3 foot tank. Not too much shading, still a nice shimmer. Also waiting for the PAR meter to tune intensity :)

I use 2x MP40 on my Red Sea Reefer 250. I run them both on the lowest reef crest setting. I can only keep LPS on the bottom 1/3rd of my 21" tank. I think you'll have too much flow for most LPS on a 13" deep tank. Maybe running 1x MP40 on the back wall would work? Torches seem like they can...

Not sure how much it will help, but Home Depot rents 1/2 HP air dryers for $30/day. If there is any gap between your stand and floor (any leveling feet or rubber standoffs?) you could probably get it completely dry...

Thanks! Supposedly AcroPower is shelf stable for ~2 years. As a pre-caution, I removed my magnet scraper from the tank, I had been leaving it in continuously. Now I plan to just put it in the water when I need to scrape the glass. I'll check for any corrosion on my impellers and clean my mixing...

Yep! That's the one.

What is the new fish?

I noticed my Jabao doser starting to malfunction. It served me well for 5 years and was very cost effective. Luckily it failed in a way that didn't cause catastrophe. Fairwell Jabao... I decided to replace it with a Red Sea ReefDose + Kamoer X1 PRO 2: I have the ReefDose for calcium...

Are you set on acrylic? Or also open to glass?

My old LR lives on! Looking nice!

Oh snaps! I remember... haha. Hope the dry rock worked out for you, I recall you built a cool epoxied structure with it?

Got my ICP test results back today. Tin detected at 5ug/L: Slight Potassium, Molybdenum deficiency, elevated lithium: I was really surprised to see elevated levels of Lithium. Apparently this is common with Reef Crystals salt (which I use), but not really harmful at these concentrations...

Here are my thoughts, depending on what type of friend you have: First type of friend: Wants a plug-n-play system, doesn't want to think too hard about equipment, and can afford the high end stuff. My opinion: This seems like a good option, nothing seems crazy marked up (except for the rock...

I've used Leon's Powder Coating in San Jose for small stuff before. I had an old road bike frame powder coated. They did a really good job for a pretty reasonable price ($100-$200). Just make sure to tell them what needs to be masked (like threads). This was a few years ago, so prices might...
