    At what size (gallons) should I think about reinforcing the flooring?

    You should be fine at a 50 gal almost anywhere, but that is a blanket statement to a complicated question. this guy wrote a good article on tanks and wood floors. https://badmanstropicalfish.com/articles/article28.html

    Rainbow ricordea coloration

    Is that the one you gave me? Mine settled at Orange with a green foot. Think it has a blue mouth if I remember correctly. That rainbow is beautiful. That dull colored Zoa polyp you gave me is bright Orange now and like 10 polyps. Wan't going to put in the DT at first but now it is one of...

    Tangs - never had one. Other than tank size, how hard are they to keep?

    I feed those too. Wasn’t sure if they had veg in it. They don’t sink very well.

    Home prep for tank. Need sanity checks and advice.

    Oh, I saw some comment on here about hanging lights above the tank and how to hide cables. You can put a plug above your ceiling as long as you can access it. They make nice access panels that are tape in that you can add too access the power supplies. They are really clean and easy to patch...

    But bigger fans are uglier…. Everything is a trade off. @kinetic put a ceiling fan above the rimless tank, lol. Not the worst idea.

    They would have needed to add a grade beam to connect a shallow pier to the perimeter or add additional piers at the load. Upsizing the beams is easy and more cost effective and flexible, especially to an engineer.

    There is a benefit for a chiller that fans can be noisy and they can be ugly, but they use a lot less energy as a trade off. I would always design a tank to use fans and ventilation as much as possible and only add a chiller if I needed it. Have not needed one yet, but have wanted one on some...

    Unfortunately the cause of GHA is having a reef tank in your house.

    60 Gal Cube Restart

    Did Salifert test, and the Hanna is off. It’s really old, so makes sense. Reagents are new, so it’s the Meter. Should have validated - but needed excuse to burn 700 bucks. Anyone want the rest of my Reagent? It’s new.

    He is going Peninsula so that adds the same challenge as all your power heads on one side. PS, I have a extra 2 fan version of that thing you can have if you need it.

    Ryan’s 40G first reef

    Just take the plug out of the tank, remove the bubble algae. You can paint on some H2O2 if you want to make sure you got everything. Bubble Algae is pretty easy to stay on top of as they can be siphoned out in a WC and don't spread very fast. You are doing great with your maintenance, so just...

    Lids totally ruin rimless tanks

    Doesn't bother me, but if you have Gobies/Wrasses - kinda a must have.

    60 Gal Cube Restart

    He just wants to sell you his old Apex, lol. jk. You just asked for graphs and I like graphs. Here is another one. Calibrated the Trident last night. Calibration did not bring the 7.8 alk up to the 8.4 alk reading to align with the Hanna checker, it went the other way to 7.4s. That is a 1...

    Home prep for tank. Need sanity checks and advice.

    If your remodel is big enough, upgrading the whole system does normally make sense at some point. The split system only make sense to a point or if your home doesn’t have any place for ducting, like an Eichler style home. How many rooms are you redoing on this remodel? Are you going to...
