Thanks for the link! That's almost exactly the same setup I would have, though I was telling myself I'd enclose it in at least some insulation. Ignoring that I'd never actually do that and instead I'd buy a bunch of heaters....

I've been debating more what I can do to give me more space inside my house and aquarium, and make maintenance easier. I've gone back and forth on the idea of having a sump outside my house, and wanted some folks thoughts. Possibly including @Thales because I heard you have some sort of outside...

Crazy how from the picture I can smell this and feel a hot air blast. These bullet heaters were the only heat in the freezing cold barns in IL when I was a kid

Do you have a hammer that might be missing a head? Baby hammer is :). Hammer that expelled its head is :| .

I actually have zero bubble algae outside of what gets into birds nest. The general situation will be it gets a bit on the base, or onto a piece of dead skeleton and then starts growing and I have to fight to get it off. It's in heavy flow. Maybe there I answered my own question, just break...

Random question: how does anyone avoid a birds nest coral not being infested with bubble algae? I don't know if I just have really bad luck, or somehow I keep starting out in a bad state, but every single birds nest I have ends up getting bubble algae in it's center and then over time becomes a...

A couple quick shots from today. Still having really good (for me) growth on my SPS. I'm trying to get all these acros to fully on colony status and then I'll start fragging and then move frags to my display. My montis are also growing like crazy and very little signs of nudis. I'm...

Snowflake / black ice are what I've been searching for, but I have one arriving soon. I also like picasso / da vincis. Majorly personal preference though. My preference is ones that have orange, black, white, and very clearly separate bars. I'm not a fan of the all white / bullet hole / ...

I wouldn't be concerned about the weight on the bars, zero percent chance this causes them to fail. I would worry about it being straight if you were doing something like only hanging them from one side, since you'd need to account for a slight flex. What's the setup you're looking to have...

Easiest active solution: take rocks out and remove anemones from rocks (gentle, standard ways, guides online), remove fish. Put fish into a different tank. Put anemones in a different tank; if needed put them in a breeder box to keep them in a controlled spot. Tear down this tank. Nuke rocks...

I'd start by testing params, doing what @H2OPlayar said followed by a water change. Given the small isolated tank, I'd try the blackout and if that doesn't work, wait it out, but chemicals are very effective. Also not to be a downer, but I'd consider how many tanks is reasonable to upkeep...

Why would a wave box be harder on an aquarium than a power head making waves?

Any chance you could do a video?

Nice! Are you going to enclose the electronics?

Do you get any build up in the skimmer line? That seems too good to be true :). Also do you wet skim, normal skim, or dry skim?

This was a useful rabbit hole to go down. If I'm following this properly, the idea is this person has been, for a prolonged period, dumping a bunch of kalk into water to make a slurry, running a cheap jebao power head in it, and then dosing that straight...

My view would be if you're not monetarily comfortable putting something in the pay it forward forum, then you can't coherently say it's worth $0. If you say it's worth less than MSRP, then you should be completely comfortable selling it for whatever amount you say in the sell forums for that...

That I think is the standard reactor style mixer. My challenge is I'm not sure that would move enough water without a really big pump. However maybe I'm underestimating how much of a mix I could get if I let a pump run for an hour. I'll check out AliExpress for a geared electric pump and see...

I think they gotcha with the top level pump is it'll just take forever to mix, and wouldn't be as effective unless I'm constantly adding water. Using my saltwater mixing analogy, I can't imagine how long it'd take to mix saltwater with a top mounted, paddle, pump. Unless it was crazy strong...

The locline in my experience is pretty hard to print right. You really need to have on hand some of the original size pieces to test fit against, because the fit has to be perfect. Also the filament is more brittle and therefore less forgiving when handled roughly, such as when you're trying to...
