I'll that that as a compliment :) My overall setup is EcoFlows as my primary, short term, coverage which I hope to cover overnight or until I get home. My EV is my main backup, because it has a huge battery. However I've now found my EV has the same problem, where EcoFlows pull a ton of amps...

I've shared this before, but again I had a screw up that almost nuked my tank, so resharing in a post. EcoFlow batteries are not necessarily safe to use with heaters, even during normal conditions On my frag tank I have a River Pro with extra battery connected to my critical equipment...

Maybe the important part is differentiating a chemistry definition of a salt (things that change bonds in water) with common definitions of salt (NaCl aka table salt). My understanding is fertilizers don't contain the latter, and it kills plants, while saltwater definitely does contain NaCl...

Most serious question: is that a bb gun or a real gun? If real, geez Reefing related topic: I find the ikea skadis pegboards (or an equivalent) helpful. You can mount them to the wall, with minimal hole creation, and then mount things to that. My main focus would be getting it so that when you...

I'm not familiar with the 99% vs 100%. My understanding is that high amounts of infill is less effective than adding more wall layers though. Both in that 100% made by pushing the number of wall layers up and up is better than infill, but also that if you do a bunch of wall layers you don't...

To elaborate on why, the main weak point in a 3d print is the connection between layers. Imagine the layers are like LEGO pieces stuck together really hard. It's a lot easier to pull layers of LEGO pieces apart then it is to rip a single LEGO apart. Same with the prints. Avoid anything where...

If you'd be willing to WYSIWYG I may be interested in a black ice snowflake. Really depends on the specific clown though. LMK if you have any pics or would prefer a PM.

I had the same thing happen. I assumed it means they have a manufacturing issue and they're doing an incremental recall this way. The process was incredibly easy though

Mostly was indentations and causing issues with the floor itself. Regarding water issues, I was also debating that. Maybe that's a justification to go with my hybrid option where I put the planks down, but only enough that it covers the area where the feet are. I also was considering trying to...

General response, thanks for the feedback. The focus in the original post was intended to be about protecting the flooring, not the structure, since as noted by others the planks aren't structural support. Yes, layer of moisture barrier / foamy stuff laid down Yes, my thought here was less...

Regarding @Galoot / @finalphaze987 type of suggestion, I have some of the extra flooring. My plan is to make a frame the same size as the stand out of the vinyl planks. What I can't decide is what direction to make the planks. Here's a picture of the subfloor layout and the floor itself. The...

I voted freshwater. I think the amano style (modernly I follow Oliver Knott on IG) are the peak of aquariums. I however will never even try to do one given how much of a hassle even basic freshwater planted aquariums are, nevertheless how much maintenance seems to be involved in one that's...

I have vermetids and for a bit thought I would defeat them. Pulled rocks and crunched them, used super glue over any I couldn't get at fully, and so on. They continued coming and IMO it's an impossible battle that way, especially if they haven't taken over. Then I for other reasons for a...

I like to imagine that avast is plugged in and slowly feeding the fireplace. For hanging stuff, I've been using IKEA Skadis boards and you can do some nice setups. I attached one big one to a swiveling mount so I can easily get behind it and run cables. The mount I did by attaching a foldable...

I wish I could get a perfect picture of this tank right now. My acros and other sps are growing into such large colonies that I'm starting to run out of space! At some point I'll start fragging these, and also at some point I'll start transferring them to my display (after I get it setup again)...

Updated thought if I do this, I'd probably instead either buy tiles, or just keep some offcuts of the planks we have. Tile would be hard and help spread load. LVP would help avoid there being indentations from the stand feet and to a very minor load spread. Both would be waterproof.

Red Sea Reefer 500. We just got new LVP flooring installed. The subfloor turned out to be wood planks (that part of the house is probably from 1950). Installer suggested before putting the stand back in place I put something under the feet to help with support, such as some plywood. The tank is...

I wouldn't consider this conclusive, but during the short stint I quarantined things myself I researched copper and surfaces. My findings were that copper permanently damning anything it ever touches in a tank to be a leaching source seemed like another reefing old wives tale. Didn't seem to...

100%. Feeding questions and data to ChatGPT or Llama (hosted via meta.ai or one of the self-hosted variations running the open source model) or DeepSeek does give useful answers to reefing questions, and almost certainly are what anything like this is actually built on. $60 a year for that is...

I want to quick share a positive story. I had a bunch of issues with aiptasia having made it into my frag tank. I think it came from a clam bought from a LFS and I didn't aggressively enough handle it. I saw them occasionally, but was mostly under control. I then had an issue where a pump went...
