December Contest Details: Submit the best reef related picture you have! So it should be simple. Literally anything from your tank. This is the last contest of the year so I'm hopeful we will see lots of images submitted. Congrats again to @tribbitt for last month's awesome picture! Submit...

I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving with their family and friends. Thanks to everyone that submitted an image to the contest and to the folks that voted. We had a tie with 10 votes on two images though! I was dreading this happening in one of these contests, but I had to...

Amazing rockscape design! Sorry to hear about the health issues though. :confused:

I'd let her loose in your tank. She was thriving in there and happy enough to want to breed. You should be proud of that IMO. Now she's condemned to a trap. I know that sounds harsh, but just let her be. Whatever babies survive, will survive. If you're breeding sexy shrimp, then setup a display...

No need to be sorry man. I know it was a stretch. Me too. It would be good to meet more often. The holiday party & swap is on the 11th. For some folks, having time off during this time of year makes for a reasonable time. Not for others. No biggie.

Sounds good. There is. 1/11

I have a poll at the top of the post. Dec 28th

That's awesome!! Congrats.

Yeah, it's a tough weekend with Christmas. There should be another event in Jan that should be posted soon too.

Hey BAR! Would any members be interested in having a meet up on December 28th to specifically drop off or pickup DBTC items? Would it be crazy to think of doing one of these every quarter or maybe monthly?! I was chatting with @Reefer Madness that also chatted with @Arvin R recently about how...

This will be the template or journal example we would like members to follow for the 2025 Budget Tank Build Exhibition. Stay Tuned for more details!

All hail Android! I'd be happy to help folks the best I can.

That poly-fil is safe and does not contain fire retardant. That is the Fairfield brand that @PjFish was referring.

I did forget to mention that I have a Brightwell Aquatics BioBrick at my disposal that I wanted to use. My thought was to put this in the return pump area. Would that be a good spot for it? They sent me the large version that is good for up to 1000 gal! It does say it can be cut for smaller...

I didn't consider that at all. Thanks for that! Fair enough. I've seen some tanks (not here) with fluidized media reactors. I'm not sold on the idea. I was mainly curious if it would be a good idea to even have it in there. I suppose you're right. I appreciate the insights.

How do you all feel about the plastic bio-balls? You like them? Dislike them? Disclaimer, I added some underneath where the filter sock would go and it helped quiet that section down a lot. My initial thought was to try and get the fluidized media action like K1 media chambers. But it doesn't...

Don't worry Andrew, we'll get to the bottom of the mystery and kick him out of the club soon enough!

Tell us more about this weird guy! Haa haaa. Looking forward to seeing it up and running.

As long as it was actually $0 to you in any way, then yes, no added $ to your cap. It's all on honor system. If you have a tank that you paid $50 for a few years ago, we would expect you to disclose that it cost $50. Same for any other equipment or livestock. If you traded something that cost...
