    Child Proofing

    Yeah, was going to express the same... awesome that he so interested at a young age. My younger daughter (7yo) seems interested in my hobby up to a certain point (proud that she said "duncan" when @JVU asked my girls what were their favorite tank inhabitants), my older one (11yo) almost not at...

    Solana 34g "Kids-Older-Now-Let's-Give-It-Another-Go" Reef

    Yup, I've set it up in two places: Daily auto feeding I use a Kasa Smart Plug where each day the return pump and skimmer turns off, about 5min later my Eheim auto feeder rotates to feed, and then about 20min later the pump and skimmer turns back on. Believe it or not, this worked perfectly over...

    Solana 34g "Kids-Older-Now-Let's-Give-It-Another-Go" Reef

    It's a possibility! I was thinking it was fully cycled Started on 12/5 Water param have consistently been good (0 ammonia, nearly 0 nitrites and low nitrates). Had diatom bloom 12/20-1/21 that's since cleared up. Been doing 5g/~15% water changes weekly. This clown has been in the tank since...

    Solana 34g "Kids-Older-Now-Let's-Give-It-Another-Go" Reef

    I Agree. The clown seemed well yesterday and even this morning when I checked. I usually can tell if something is out-of-the-ordinary, but must've missed something.

    Other clown died this morning =( Was fine around 11am when I checked in on the camera, but when I went downstairs for lunch around ~1pm saw him on the grill of the Vortech MP10. Looks like he got stuck and died between 11am-12pm. Here's a photo of him from the camera at around 12:06pm Is it...

    Tide Pools of Half Moon Bay

    Amazing pictures! We've been to the tide pools in Half Moon Bay and it's always amazing out there. 10+ years ago we collected some hermit crabs and dropped them in my newly started first tank after moving to the Bay while it was still cycling, but none of them survived beyond 2 weeks. I think...

    I'm back!

    How are you doing the fuge? Using one of the back chambers as the fuge, or HOB? I have a Solana 34g and am wondering if a HOB or fuge in the cabinet would be a nice upgrade!

    Solana 34g "Kids-Older-Now-Let's-Give-It-Another-Go" Reef

    Put in some extra carbon last week (in addition to the Chemipure Elite I've had in the second chamber for awhile now), and I think the combo of the extra filtration and perhaps the cycling finally leveling off, and my water clarity is much better now. Over the weekend I added a few more things...

    Solana 34g "Kids-Older-Now-Let's-Give-It-Another-Go" Reef

    Yup, I checked and double checked, but alas, no luck. Really at a loss for where he went. We had a poinsettia at the base of the tank so though maybe he fell there, but can't find anything. A mystery for sure.

    Solana 34g "Kids-Older-Now-Let's-Give-It-Another-Go" Reef

    Sad... clown apparently jumped out again last night and this time I wasn't able to save it. Interesting thing is, I can't find his body anywhere... no evidence whatsoever - just up and disappeared. Looked all over our floors, inside the Roomba, nothing. Did a water change today and cleaned the...

    Solana 34g "Kids-Older-Now-Let's-Give-It-Another-Go" Reef

    It happened last night, new clown jumped out of the tank Went downstairs to grab some water around 11:45pm and saw something on the floor by the tank. Turned on the lights and saw it was the new guy, partially dried up. I immediately picked him up and was encouraged seeing him flop slightly...

    Solana 34g "Kids-Older-Now-Let's-Give-It-Another-Go" Reef

    Man, this diatom phase is lasting forever - definitely testing my patience! Started on ~12/20 and it's still going... have tested the water params and everything seems to be good, particularly phosphate looks to be near 0. Since last update: Added another ocellaris clown. Hoping the two clowns...
