lol, it’s your tank. I hope you gat a salt water croc, that would be sweet.

,well, you can use it to flush the toilet for a while….. was going to tell yah to cover the sides with paper towels and soak your preferred acid, too late.

http://www.autotopoff.com/ They have DIY kits to make it easier for yah.

If a fan come out the head, leave them. Its hard to tell in the photo. Could be either.

I am totally saying that every time I drive by your house now.

Carbon fiber fancy :-) Not to measure forceps, but mine is 1" longer :-D

Id remove the bubble for sure. Sponge is ok. They can start growing everywhere if you feed heavy, but one isn't an issue. They can take over your sump, pluming and overflows if there is enough food for them, but they really are just a maintenance issue. Feeding a little less dirty will...

Well, they are awesome. She can do my doors any day! When you get sick of Fresh Water, you can always make that an easier Salt Water tank type. A Softy, LPS tank with more chill fish would not be such chore. You were working with a tough set-up given a mixed reef and big fish. Always find...

Love the cabinet doors, did you paint those?

You can measure the corners of the stand to make sure they are the same length and square, that would eliminate stand moving concern. Does you tank go in and out of level, or is if just creeping out of level constantly one direction? Leveling a tank can be done, but I would only worry about...

Did it go down and stay down, or start bouncing more than normal? Does TCD stand for Trident Controlled Dosing?

Any idea a rough order magnitude hit to Alkalinity you are seeing with the Trident? Is it a steep curve or a gradual decline on the graph?

Don't think a bottle product can wipe out Nitrate or we would all buy it. Think you should get a second test kit. You will need it anyways as that is a long term test you will be doing. Either way, pretty sure you are ready for fish and easy corals.

Stand should be Square, Flat and Rigid. Level stand with Shims. My tank is on a hump in my floor, so I just have it shimmed all the way around so that it is level.

Pretty sure most tanks are designed with seat of the pants gut feeling engineering and craftsmanship where your volume of installs is likely worth more than all my engineering books combined.

You just need to be more careful when applying other loads to it or storing long term. Like, it if you had it in a car and you hit a big bump, ideally the tank would not be on its side. You would not store your glassware on it side either for the same reason. The rim is fragile, just like a cup.

I am not sure I agree coming from someone who started out life as a structural engineer. Flatness and uniform support would be way more important than level especially given the material property differences between glass, silicone and stands. If your tank is out of level yet still uniformly...

the low range reads way to low and is a 2 part test. Only reads up to 5 ppm. The high range is just about right for our tanks. Look at the range specs.

I can see my sump and 4 tanks and my dog all with one camera.
