What are other pre-made reactors that are comparable? I'm probably not the best one to ask but i've seen Nextreef & Atomic (yellow colored one). there are probably a # more if you look around. For lowest cost Avast is the way to go, you just have to put some assembly time into it, but it's...

I've used BRS 2 stage reactor & 2 separate Avast ones. The things I didn't like about the BRS one is it's harder to see the tumbling amount through the acrylic & holding container. I found it was sometimes hard to close tight enough to prevent leaks. Also it doesn't have separate flow...

I'm going to give 4 nudibranch a shot, if those don't work then it's on to filefish.

I'm planning on going, although I drive down 1 day early to hang out w/ a friend, so I can't carpool but meeting up with whomever goes sounds like a good idea to me.

I tried a copperband recently and it didn't touch an aptasia, nor any food I tried to feed it, needless to say it didn't live too long . :( seems like almost all aptasia control methods are hit or miss and the important thing is to not obsess about them, rather keep an even keel and do what...

Razor blades scare me, even w/ glass as I've found that I caused small scratches if i'm not careful. For that reason I use the Kent Scraper- the metal blade for the glass & plastic blade for starphire. Maybe metal also if fine for starphire but I find plastic works well enough. As far as in...

Does anyone know where I can find a Nudibranch that'll take care of my aptasia? I don't remember ever seeing them at LFS, but maybe i'm not checking with ones that carry them. I've tried tons of peppermint shrimp, which have always worked for me in the past but they don't seem to do much for me...

I have 2 cats, Sneaky (gray) & Tiger. Both are a little over a yr and I got both from a shelter. As you can see they're best friends. Sneaky as a kitten.

After a party on my way home I stopped by Aqua Exotic to peruse the store and got 2 nice LPS pieces that are unique (at least to me). Vatercis (?) Scoly & a Helia Fungia. Excuse the mediocre smartphone pics.

I like the new layout, having new posts in a box is a big plus. I'd have more than 8 and only 1 box for them, not sure why the 2nd box for recent posts is needed.

gotta stop by to check them out.

If possible i'd like to go on this tour also.

I used to use razor blades a lot on glass. they work well as long as you don't press hard and more importantly don't go sideways- only go straight up & down. Because once I got a small scratch from them, barely noticeable, I now only use a metal blade on the Kent scraper. I feel it's safer...

I wish I had the same experience as Brandie, when I had flatworms a while back I tried the wrasse approach including a malanurus one but I never saw him or her eating any, so in my case i didn't see a benefit, but certainly there was no harm in adding one. Hopefully you get one that eats them up.

what generator do you have and do you like it aside from it being underpowered? if you're looking to sell it PM me.

good job!

Nice to see this type of expansion. You guys (and gal) keep making good improvements and this one looks like a huge one!

Those pectina's are the bomb! did they just come in?

Mine runs about 22-23 hrs. a day since when I feel the skimmer is off for 1 hr. to let the feed run through the system before the skimmer removes it.

Looks good and +1 on the auto top off. There are different ways to do it with a fail safe method. In time you'll become more & more of a convert to automate that daily activity. The clown gobies I've had haven't caused me too much trouble but they did eat away at the base of some of my SPS...
