    Sand cleaning and stirring: Goby or Conch?

    Has anyone been able to keep hector's or rainfords long term for sand sifting? Small mouthfuls so they don't bury your stuff but the one I had never ate prepared.

    Avoiding bringing in pest algae from inverts?

    Personally, I would never try to do this. You can't culture an appropriate biome without any algae at all. It's the bottom of the entire food chain (excluding light an nitrates etc.). When algae does get in it will explode with no bugs to eat it. This WILL happen, no if about it. Snails and...

    How many suction cups for 48"x30"x20" tank?

    I moved my eurobraced 110 48x24x22 with 4 cups and just one buddy but we are both pretty big guys and it was not easy. I'm not sure if we could have done it without the cups. If using a mat attach it to the bottom of the tank first.

    Neptune DOS is 20% off at BRS

    On this same(ish) topic I ordered something from fishtanksdirect and they don't charge tax. For items that cost the same everywhere it's usually the best deal. Dos pumps are not on special there now though, I checked.

    Mixing Station Setup help

    I was looking at ato reservoirs before I started exploring a mixing setup and seemed like modular marine had the best price for custom work. Advanced acrylics has a lot of sizes and free shipping. If an off the peg size works it comes out about the same as the other makers with good quality...

    Mixing Station Setup help

    I was thinking of using these: https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.aspx?itemid=134241&catid=1216 One 20g for salt mixing and two 7g's. One for top off and one for kalk.

    Encrusting monti colony

    I have a rock with a 5" red w blue polyp encrusting monti colony on it if someone wants it. I have a colony on another rock and don't need 2. No nasty pests I have had some smaller vermetids, small bristleworms, and bubble algae but not epedemic. No aptasia in this system ever (not one...

    GHL or Apex

    It's not just the brain but an ecosystem at least to some extent. I hear the point about keeping costs down with inferior build quality but it's wildly expensive for what it is (like a lot of reef gear, to be fair). It's not like it's new and they need to recoup R&D, this thing has been out...

    GHL or Apex

    I'll jump in here rather than start a new thread. I don't want to get into automated testing at this point and I don't think I'd ever run a Trident due to reagents. I have a standalone ghl doser I can hook up so I'm mostly just looking for monitoring, not control. Is hydros viable here? GHL is...

    Advice to cut rock-hard coral underwater?

    Only problem with bolt cutters is they don't open wide. Even 14" ones only can cut up to 8mm.
