Cool! ATO kits are nice because you just plug them in and go. But since you plan on Apex, you will enter a land where just about everything is customizable. You're going to spend some time getting sensors and float switches placed and calibrated and all that, but in the end you'll have a...

If you sell the ATO, you'll recoup a lot of that cost. With your Apex, you'll need the breakout box, a float switch, a pump, and some sort of probe holder to mount the float switch. LFS should have standard float switches that will work for you. Besides cost savings, another benefit of...

Awwwwwww they're cute!

Don't use polyester reinforced? Sorry I can't help much. But that stuff is probably for high psi applications.

I actually like that bright green algae! My brown diatoms are about 75% gone now, I wonder when the green stuff will hit me? @tygunn, what's your light cycle? 10, 12hrs?

Went to Neptune today. Saw they had baggies with ice blocks in a couple of their displays. Hope everything stays cool @FeliciaLynn

Okay will do. So I assume the display lights are enough to keep the chaeto from going into sex drive mode?

Ah Dan. Yes, it is possible. I totally forgot about the refugium basket that InTank makes for this aquarium. You reminded me. :/ I guess that's a good thing. I agree, I would MUCH rather have a chaeto factory back there. There's a magnet-held LED light that can be mounted back there as...

Omg pics!?

Also, it was 100 degrees today. So I came home, and opened up one of these. Very refreshing! And the Giants won wewt!

Hi again! I have been reading about these little beige colored (ceramic?) cylinders, and how they are used to provide more surface area for beneficial bacteria colonization. I have an empty compartment, so I figured I'd toss a couple back there. The cylinders don't seem to be slowing down...

Playing around with the MP10 trying to make waves. I managed to get a tiny one going. Let's see if this video works...

I have a buddy that's originally from Kapingamarangi Atoll. He used to spear Naso and Achilles Tangs, among other cool fish. Mmm, coconut milk, taro, banana, little salt and pepper, yummy! Skin's like sandpaper though.

Thanks for the nice words! A lot more thought than what went into my very first setup 13 years ago I will tell you that much. I think you make perfect sense Marc. I mean, two gallons to carry 13' to the bathroom I think is much less effort then rolling out a damp hose, getting leftover...

^^Water change made easy! Btw I saw your post on Neptune forums. ;) Nailed it! I will do this as well. Thanks! ;)

Must have the dolly for those Brute cans! Changing a couple gallons every other week ain't so bad. I'll post a 30 second vid when I do my first one. ;) I was thiiiiiiis close to buying Bob's 110 (I think?). I don't know if he's on here but he was letting his tank and stand and plumbing go...

I tend to agree with thoughts along these lines. Kessil is very clean and sleek, especially when compared to DIY units. The 150 can be had cheap, and the 350 you can find brand new in box on eBay for $249. I've seen guys do the DIY thing, takes a lot of time, and cost savings isn't like...

Good job ruling out the composite. Yuck! ;)

Where was that?

Yeah the days of sloshing buckets around the house are gone! :) I saw a video on YouTube where a guy had little tick marks on his tank so he knew exactly how much to drain. I'll figure something out after the first couple changes. Yeah, it won't take long to drain two gallons so I don't have...
