Yeah - this is something I took into consideration working on this latest upgrade (40g -> 150g plus 2 or 3 other little tanks). According to my math the cost will continuously increase over time as well as I add more livestock, equipment replacements/upgrades, etc... are added or needed... It's...

Put me in for 1-2

Easier to just buy a kit it seems but I’ll give it a try, will need a lot of tweaking to make it fit properly… hmm

Thank you! Any format will work, I can convert as needed! As for sizing differences I’m sure I can figure that out

I have a cheat code, the guy I got it from breeds Copper Band Butterflies. He is the most unorthodox reefer I have ever met, and not only challenges, but disproves so many of the “industry myths” I can’t even. I wish I could tell you guys more (it’s truly fascinating), but it’d be unfair to him...

Ok and just so you guys know, I’m not *THAT* terrible. Spent spring (their fall) last year on a photo safari in South Africa, this guy was so close my wife ducked down and hid in the truck, luckily he’d just eaten, also had a nasty wound around his neck from being caught in a poachers snare.

Looks great, nice job!

That’s neat! Have a link to the print files? I have a 29g, if I can print up a kit and glue it up I can donate that with an HOB overflow to they guy who posted about the classroom tank!

I’ve got a leopard, they can’t single-handedly wipeout a pod population. If your tank has a healthy ecosystem and you’re not starving the wrasse, pods will be reproducing in numbers it (and other predatory fish) can’t wipe out, though I think it’s a good idea to supplement with fresh pods...

And probably more stuff, I have to go see what else I’ve got laying around.

If anyone has an old sump I have a hang on back overflow so they don’t have to worry about drilling, and can get rid of the canister filter.

Haha the thumb is pretty much healed, the nail was growing funky for a couple of months and I'm surprised it didn't just fall off! I can't quite bend it all the way any more, but it's nothing that hampers me in general. I definitely would've asked for help but this was a shotgun thing, happened...

Glad to have you as part of the community, welcome!

I'm close, hoping to have it in the living room in a week or two! One of the big delays was the heat this summer, just made it impossible to work in the garage when it was 100+ in there - but I'm moving quickly now!

It did unfortunately, big 'ol sharp, metal wheel wells! I was able to tetris everything in though, and brought towels, moving blankets + sheets, tie-downs - and everything else I could think of like a drill, sawzall (which came in handy, some bulkhead threads were stripped and others...

I got everything in one trip, had I not rented the actual u-haul it would’ve been multiple trips though!

Had a discussion with Chad, Kenny, and several others about just this today. General consensus was, for lack of a better word f^ck that sh!t. Chad (Reef Nutrition) said pods don’t need it, they live primarily in the rock and on substrate, chaeto/algae reactors in general don’t matter. Kenny...

Tank tour would be fun! My wife did similar with the Lafayette Juniors, each month someone hosted a get-together at their place, where they worked on fundraising and donations for kids and women's groups, drank wine, judged each other’s kitchen, but actually did/do productive things for the...

So I saw a post on one of my reefing Facebook groups, “Posting for a friend, free 160 gallon, custom built goes to whoever can pick it up soonest.” It included a wonderfully deceptive picture of its current state, that made it look clean and lovely. *Narrator: It wasn’t clean, nor lovely. So...

I have a hard time trusting any automated testing and monitoring equipment. It requires constant (human) monitoring and calibration. I’d use human medical monitoring and testing equipment as a direct comparison. It’s all fallible - could be hardware, could be software… could be as simple as...
