I have a stand that fits the IM 10 (12x15"). It's an IKEA kitchen cabinet so u can swap out the door for a white one. I think this one fits it: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/veddinge-door-white-00266797/ The cabinet frame for reference...

Is the birds nest getting enough flow? I would think bubble algae would only be able to attach to dead skeleton and not coral flesh. If detritus settles in the inner parts of the colony it could cause tissue to die and bubble algae to grow on it. My pink birdsnest requires very strong lighting...

Have a budget and try not to blow it :p Serious but not serious haha. It's a great opportunity to see so much variety of coral in person that it's mighty tempting. Have an idea of what you want ahead of time so you don't make any rash decisions on coral that's not suitable for your tank.

Longest I was able to raise baby brine shirmp was about 10 days before crashing. This was in a 2 gallon container, bubbler, and hair algae for nutrients uptake, powdered spirulina for food, and 50% water change every 4 days. I did see many grow to half adult size. Most cultures ive seen on...

It's plural and has been. We've been receiving payments without issue. @SeanMc does it not show up? And did the payment to the singular name go through?

My last 120 gallon was on the second floor. The main things you want to consider are: If the tank will sit perpendicular to the joists. The more joists it sits on the better to help distribute the weight. Joists are typically spaced 16" so a 48" tank can sit on up to three of them if...

I've heard the same. It's the difference between water swirling around the aquarium versus a large mass of water moving to one side crashing against the wall then alternating to the other. Carry a bucket of water. If u stir or mix it there's not a lot of force against the bucket. If you move the...

Yup 10 power cables in that sleeve (6 kessils 4 quantas). If I were to do this again and if it wasn't an exterior wall with insulation, I'd put a pass through plate behind the rack and run the cables inside the wall to the floor where it'd then connect to power. I forgot who, but someone here...

Just about 2 years since transferring to this tank. Year 1 was getting everything dialed in. Year 2 was stabilizing and fine tuning. All the growers kept on growing and the frags that stayed dormant for most of the year are showing signs of growth. One of the most impactful changes was getting...

Do you have a separate circuit breaker for the tank? That's a whole lotta wattage to be sharing with other equipment. Even with a 20amp breaker (2400w max, 1,920w recommended) you can easily overload that if you run something like a shop vac (>1,000w itself and i've seen your big one) while all...

83" wide tank with a 70" rack, which leaves ~6.5" gap on both sides. My tank has a 3" euro brace that's tinted so it would be pointless to have lights at the edges. How are you mounting the rack? Solid, hanging, or pivoting? It'd drive me crazy if the rack was exactly the same size as the tank...

Looks like it dropped on the down low, so whoever got down at the workshop came up. Makes sense? :P

Drill a small hole in one of the upper loc-line joints, but still a submerged part. This will create a siphon break and prevent it from siphoning all the way down to the rfg.

FYI they're nocturnal and hide behind the rocks during the day. In my tank id say 80% of the time when I saw them after lights out, they were on the back glass.

4 years later I finally have growth. New nub! I hope this is finally it's breakout year.

If you plan on feeding them straight from the bottle it's going to get expensive real quick. The better option is to buy a bottle and set up a culture so you have a continuous supply of them to add into the seahorse tank over time. Settting up a culture is a challenge in itself. I have a tisbe...

Welcome! If you're ever in the Oakland area, @under_water_ninja at High Tide Aquatics has a cool vivarium with dwarf and other types of seahorses, plus garden eels.

100 mushrooms later this is the most green I've seen

There's some submersible kinds but they might fall into the category of good for a couple intermittent uses but not long term continuous use. They also might be ok for algae and dinos but not slow enough for pathogens. Aquatic Collection might have this since they carry a lot of Aquatop...

The Reefbrite XHOs are very blue, like windex blue. With your peninsula viewing on both sides it may look too blue if your kessils are only down the center. For reference, I run 6 kessils and 4x 36" Quanta Pro meseo blue bars on my 83"x27" tank and feel that the color is still too blue for my...
