Interesting with the hook. Do you have any photos of such hook? Also, yes, I think I'm going to have 5" to 8" gap between the tank and the wall, just so it's easier to access cables on occasion.

Update from Francois: 1. Screws: He said he's going to just wait for the right screws from Italy with the new stand - I'll just grab some from the local hardware store for now so I can start playing with plumbing. 2. Overflow Lid: He sent me the return label finally, so I can send this one back...

This will be a brand new build and a brand new wall, so I can make it anything. Maybe that's a big plus for this to work out. I'll have the builders add two big conduits (3" or more?) down the wall with some kind of string. Though with two nice smooth conduits, I bet it wouldn't be too bad...

I will be running two Maxspect Gyres on the back wall of my peninsula tank. All glass walls are clear (no vinyl), so I want to make my power cords as clean as possible. I was thinking of doing something similar to how wall-mounted TV's work by having wires go into the wall, and back out towards...

My clowns have always laid eggs once a week or so. You'll have plenty of coral food for awhile =)

A few ways to fix this (though fish can learn quickly): 1. Feed more often -- food always being in the water at some point will keep fish from rushing in at a specific time. You can feed the same amount, but all throughout the day. However... you probably want to feed more just because a lot of...

I think when I say terrarium, it's basically glass enclosing the pot for the sake of increasing humidity. I know that terrarium can mean a thousand different things, so just wanted to clarify this is a super simple enclosure for humidity. A paludarium is a dream. I've seen some really cool ones...

I totally feel you on the casket thing. I think it’s a weird thing for sure, especially with your situation and the whole shape of the crate. The tank is a positive thing. A great hobby, a build, growth and lots of learning. I hope that works out for you! I would recommend keeping the two tanks...

Probably just out of town and busy I'm guessing.

Yeah, nothing is touching that new tank glass that isn't thoroughly cleaned/inspected (as I do with all my tanks). I think this flipper will get a little cleaning, but only one side is in the water and it's just the blade + small four points, so shouldn't be hard to clean. I also have a...

Someone on reddit advised for the monstera: 1/3 orchid bark 1/3 potting soil or coco coir 1/3 extra coarse (#4) perlite 1/10 leco balls (math isn't right, just round) I'll probably do similar with the ficus triangularis and stick them in the terrarium. I will have a small hygrometer and...

I'm temporarily using my flipper =)

I just picked up a tiny variegated ficus triangularis and I have a monstera albo (1 leaf cutting w/ root) coming next week. I think these both need high humidity, and was wondering if they would do well in a terrarium while they're small. I'm going to put them in a corner that has a western and...

I ended up ordering from PNW-custom. But I’ve had radio silence for 2 weeks now. Do you know if they’re still in business?

I haven’t done it yet, but lots of people do this in their return chambers. Yes it gets sucked up by the return pump!

I use two dips: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/8-oz-coral-rx.html https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/reef-dip-complexed-iodine-coral-dip-seachem.html

The auger is the key to it all. It also keeps all the food pushed to the front constantly, so it's very consistent. I like how simple yet elegant it is. Also, it's completely silent. If you have automatic feeders, you know how loud they can get.

This one: https://www.avastmarine.com/collections/avast-built/products/autofeeder I've tried eheim, neptune feeder, and a few others, but the avast plank is by far the absolute best. Eheim: the one I had was battery powered, and tended to fall over sometimes. Also kind of loud. Can't control...

Tank looks beautiful. Nicely done! How did you come to realize your STN was related to too much light?

Ah! I think I had mentioned possibly using something like a carbon reactor (I have a couple of those BRS canister reactors). But I think for now I'm just going with a UV and doing a bit more passive carbon (bag of carbon under my ReefMat), if anything.
