Hi All, Another question. Setting up a quarantine tank (we have an old 29g tank, heater, pump, etc.). As for quarantining coral and fish, what does the club generally do? I have found so many varying opinions on the web forums - medicate everything, don't medicate anything unless signs of...

Thanks everyone, I appreciate all the valuable input and it was fun meeting a number of you at the event! Best regards, Mike

Thanks, that is great advice. Any good suggestions on how to easily cut the rock (prefer not to drill a bunch of holes and chisel). Best regards, Mike

Ibn, Thanks. We were trying to make informed decisions, hopefully we didn't run too far astray on some things. I was going to inquire about when to start running reactors, so that is good advice. I don't want to get behind and start chasing things, so with that in mind, when would be a good...

We have a Super Reef Octopus 3000 INT

Thanks, We went for a 150 as it should allow us some volume for stability (so we can make minor mistakes as we learn and hopefully not kill everything), we have a nice space for it, and we wanted options on what we can put in the tank. As for the Synergy, the weir is held on magnetically, so...

Thanks All, Newjack - I'll definitely ping you, thanks! Phoung - in winter at night our house drops to 63-65 F (my wife likes it cool at night). I wanted to be able to run off one heater and effectively have the other as a backup. BRS suggested this power rating and the cost delta for more...

Hi All, I wanted to thank all the members that provided insight and will continue to do so going forward in making our endeavor a successful one. So very excited to be building a reef tank with my daughter. This will be built around a Crystal Dynamics 150 gallon tank (60" x 24" x 24"). It is...

If JVU decides not to get your Kessil arms, I am interested in them only if/after he declines. Nice build, thanks for sharing. I am just gathering parts for my build and going to be going with AP700's. Best regards, Mike

Thanks Phuang! It was great to meet everyone and get some valuable input. Phuang, can you please let me know about how many pounds of rock you have in your tank - for reference so I can start figuring out how much I'll need in the 150, thanks. Best regards, Mike

Will do, thanks. I may float some olive oil on it to ensure no air.

Yikes! Pressure is on the new guy. We'll be bringing all the parts and mixing it up there as I don't want the avocado to discolor, so you are more than welcome to help dial it in to BAR standards :-) We'll be there right at noon as we have another commitment we need to leave for at 1:30pm...

Thanks sfsuphysics, I understand this is for the long haul, that is part of the fun. I'm trying look at everything, these brands just keep popping up the most. Best regards, Mike

Thanks so much for the kind thought, I'm OK buying one though. Will you be at this weekends meeting? Best regards, Mike

Thanks for the continued input. So I took the day off so I could visit a bunch of local stores and come more prepared with questions this Saturday. Regarding lighting for what looks like it is going to be a 150g (60x24x24), eurobraced, synergy overflow, tank - note: fixture prices include...

Done. Can I show up now?

Which are?????

Avocado, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, a little lime juice, salt, and pepper.

I'm in, new member (joined last night) looking to meet everyone and get some input on a reef system I am going to put together. I'll bring my daughter as this is a Father/Daughter tank/project. We'll bring chips and make fresh guacamole (if I can use part of the kitchen for a few minutes to...

Thanks All! Gablami - the short answer is I am an engineer, so the build and control part of it intrigues me and ultimately, I think it provides more flexibility. Also, my wife wants a wood stand that closely matches the wood in the room, so it needs to be something other than black or white...
