Was going to cruise by to see what the discounts were.

I don't know - I hate how much technology now adays seems to break in that 3-5 year window. That said, I can appreciate reef tank stuff gets a lot of abuse. Electronic heavy lights being on for 12 hours a day sitting 9 inches above salt water is a tough set of conditions to expect real...

Interesting. Thanks!

Oof - I hadn't read that. Do you know if its a case of running the channel excessively high? I'm running around that AB+ setting with UV/Violet at 115% I bought these new, and bought an off the shelf unit vs DIY, because I wanted longevity. So would hate to see something burn out like that in...

Unless the market calms down, you will probably get beat up until you go into "f' it" mode, unfortunately. It was nuts 5 years ago when I bought and amazingly has just gotten more nuts. My sister is going through the same thing in Colorado -- she lost out on so many places that she had to just...

I've had Chinese black box lights, Nanobox mini, and now AI Prime 16 HD. I like the Prime HD. I wish the app was better. I don't have disco issues, but I run them 9" above the water and run red/green at only 5%. That said, I think Kessil's are the best and I've always viewed Radeons as...

Oh yea for sure. Its just funny because they go from being SUPER passive to straight up a-holes. I had to get rid of my first pair because they started breeding and the only fish that could hold its own was my 6-line wrasse.

My original pair of Ocellaris started biting me when they started laying eggs. They immediately flipped a switch and become hyper territorial in my 20g tank.

I used all the little things wrong with the house as leverage late in the process to push back on getting money back when we closed. So to that point; remember that your agent most likely does not give a sh** over negotiating for a few thousand $. A house selling for 500k vs 510k doesn't move...

If you know anyone that does construction/contractor work; I'd have them attend any inspection you do. Not sure how it is for a condo vs a single family home. But our inspector failed to notice things like the electric cook top had a burner that didn't actually have any temperature control. The...

Ya for reference, my male clown spends a huge portion of it's day sitting up there. They aren't huge swimmers like wrasses, tangs, angels, etc.

What is the actual issue? You mentioned that it occasionally sits by the sand bed, but otherwise is usually swimming. Is the concern that the fish occasionally holds still by the sand bed? That, imo, is really normal for a clownfish. My big female swims around a bit more, but the small male...

I graduated to that club when I killed my first one and didn't want to shell out the money to buy another. Does that count?

I think you could keep a pair of ocellaris or percs in a 5-10g tank. They are a very "present" yet inactive fish. They don't hide in holes like some fish, but at the same time, they aren't a fish that needs a lot of space to swim all over the place. They tend to find their "spot" and then...

Thats some nice stuff -- but man moving tanks is a lot of work! :)

That would be super awesome if it's not inconvenient. Normally I wouldn't be above driving to SF but I'm on 4 year old duty and don't think I can handle an hour in the car with a bored 4 year old right now haha.

It's funny. Everyone has different experiences. I've had aptasia, but peppermint shrimp have always taken care of them for me. Things like aptasia x or a needle full of kalk paste injected into them did nothing but make them spread faster.. Now red turf algae.. if someone has a solution there...

Oh no I completely get it. When I had chaeto it was full of pods, bristle worms, and all sorts of stuff. I think the biggest thing people really care about are major coral pests. Like are you selling chaeto out of a tank with a massive aefw infestation? :)

To be fair, I'm pretty sure there is a BRS video about algae reactors where they talk about how hard it is to get clean chaeto and how important clean chaeto is when adding it to your tank to avoid unwanted pests. They then talk about algae barn and their clean macro algae :) So my guess that...

It looked like he may have grabbed one -- he had posted that he grabbed it at a swap right before signing up. It will probably be a while until I make it out to SF. About to have a 2nd child in a couple weeks so unlikely going to be able to find hour(s) to drive out to the city for a bit :)...
