The Quanta Mesa light that I bought only had hanging mounts and a couple brackets that attach to the top of the bar itself. I've made and bought (3d-printed) some attachments that I'm hoping will let me sit the light on the top of the tank and still be removable for feeding and water changes...

If one were to use a Ranco controller I'm assuming you'd need to connect to basic heating element (and not a standard aquarium heater which has it's own thermostat/controller)? Or does it matter?

Haha I'm sort of halfway from both, in Union City.

Probably the wrong group to post to (haven't really found a freshwater group in the area with an active forum), but I have two German blue rams that I need to either give away or return to the LFS. Beautiful fish with lots of personality. Biggest problem is that they (a male and female) are in...

Past occupants (RIP): A Pygmy cherubfish, a Ruby Dragonet (before I discovered the necessity of a tight-fitting tank lid), and as mentioned before 2 Halloween hermits (or as my daughter calls them Murder Crabs).

Hey all, thought I'd start a tank journal. This is my 24 gallon (Lifegard AIO), in a previous life it was 10 gallon for keeping hermit crabs and fish for my daughter. Somehow corals were added and it morphed into the current 24 gallon tank you see today. It was officially started in August...

I bought an octospawn (SW Corals) and a frogspawn (from Chromis).

Ultimate frisbee, biking, and windsurfing are my other hobbies. @Vhuang168 @Chromis There's a new campground area called Dumbarton Quarry next to the Coyote Hills Region park. It's new and relatively unknown and has relatively large field to fly a kite ($6 park fee). Alameda Crown Memorial...

Dropped by, nice shop. I will definitely try to swing by every once in a while.

Haha nice video.

Oh man that's so sad.

1 ticket please, payment sent.

Yep, had some bubble algae grow adjacent to a frag about 3 weeks after I placed it in the tank (after dipping). Luckily it was easy to take out the rock and scrape off the algae and then spot treat with peroxide. Haven't seen any since then (this was about 2 months ago), except for a patch...

Any recs for a quiet HOB skimmer? I have 24 gallon Lifegard AIO. The back compartment is pretty small and does not fit all of the "nano" in tank skimmers. Bought a Macro Aqua but it's really loud even after a couple months; does a good job at creating a nice dark skimmate. Looking at the Reef...

@Srt4eric I had more Nassarius and Ceriths a little while a go but I think the crabs ate them (might have died and been scavenged). It's my daughter's tank and she loves hermits. In retrospect hermits are a bit problematic. We used to have 3 Halloweens but the they murdered each leaving the...

I have a 24 gallon Lifegard AIO tank with a clownfish, royal gramma, and a neon blue goby. And 3 small, 1 large hermit, 2 Turbu, 3 nassarius, and 3 cerith snails. The tank has been running for about 7 months, 3 with fish in it. There also a scattering of corals: GSP, zoas, flavia, pocillopora...

Ah haha! Not coral at all

Awesome tank! I'm new to the hobby, what is that bulbous pinkish coral? It's in the background of the pic with the cardinal.
