Ooh I hadn’t read about leeching metals... that’s definitely a concern and thank you for flagging! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the response! 1) I went back and forth with this decision for quite a while. I think these Jebao pumps deserve more credit than they get. I've had one running for almost 2 years and have read just as many reports of Vectra and COR pumps failing. I have another as a backup, upsized...

Yep, at 21" tall I'm not worried about it. My current tank is 20.5" tall and I'm happy with the 2 hydra 26 HDs I have on there. Plus I'm adding 4 T5s and I mostly keep softies so I expect this to be plenty of light.

Hi everyone! Time for a build thread (might be my first ever :o)! I'm excited to say I ordered a 230g Crystal Dynamic tank, stand, and sump that will replace a 100g Waterbox (Platinum 130.4). History I’ve had about a dozen tanks over the years but only 4 have made it past the 1 year mark...

I read somewhere that at an equal load, this one is quieter than the Honda eu2000i that everyone loves.

I looked at the Costco generator this weekend for just in case, but wanted to wait until I did more research to choose a good one. I'm definitely kicking myself now for not buying it as I'm in the shutoff zone.

More anemones lol. I’ll post another pic when I get around to cleaning the tank again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are just standard RBTAs. I think I used the wrong filter attachment for reds to come out accurately. I have no idea what my parameters are! I have never tested the water other than salinity. That’s why I like softies. They do well with very little maintenance or effort. Sent from my...

Haha yes, and I'm far more excited for that than setting up a new tank. This is my first so I really have no idea what the next few months are going to look like and how much time & energy I'll actually have.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

I do want to write up a build thread. I like the idea of having local people to think through ideas and find solutions. I'm am also expecting my first child in the next couple of weeks though. I will have several months off work where I expect to plan for this, but it's very possible I've...

That's an anemone jail! I drilled additional holes in a filter cup where I held anemones before selling them. :p It doesn't always work -1 got out and split and both are still on the left side :( I have since upgraded to an acclimation box which is working much better.

Hi BAR, I've been reefing since 2009 (took a couple years off when I moved up to the bay area from San Diego). Since moving to the bay (I'm in Union City now) I've had a Nuvo 40g and now a Waterbox 100g over ~4 years. I'll be upgrading to a Crystal Dynamics 230g soon but for now, here's an old...

I came to flag this as well. Glad it's on the list! :)

Ah yes you are correct. It was just picked up though. I'm sure I could have brought it back but I like the idea of having a tank with nothing but softies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is slowly deteriorating. It lost the color in the tips, one head has died off, and one head is opening considerably less than it used to. Flow is probably medium-high but has maybe slowed a bit since I haven't cleaned my powerheads in a while. Either way, I'm ready to let this go to a good...

Hi BAR! I have a frogspawn mini colony that's green with purple tips but isn't doing well in my tank because I don't do water changes often enough. Since I can't post it in the trade section, I'll just give it away. I'm in Noe Valley - PM me for my phone number so we can work out a time to...
