If you really want a skimmer for your nano tank, look up Mame Skimmer 3. They're made in Japan. But generally, water changes in a nano are your friend.

Let there be light! I got the other mounts and all the lights are up now. I've never been blamed for having too little lights. Seeing around 450 on the top of the rocks in the middle and between 225-300 on the sandbed depending how close you are to the glass. I ran out of wire sleeves for my...

Eyes are one thing, but I'd be worried about anything plastic or acrylic, UV can turn it super brittle.

This is the tool I bought years ago. https://a.co/d/63Tr9gI

My choice was colbalt aquatics usb air pump. I have around 5 of them. I just fired a few up and they're all still running after owning them for 3-4 years. Too bad I think they discontinued them. I bought them when they were still blue and didn't come with a usb bank...

150 Gallon We have lights! Well one light so far. I was just gonna use RMS arms sitting on top of the side of the tank, but thought hanging would look better. Still need to plug in the two xr30 and get a couple of xr30 mounts from a buddy he has laying around the garage . I got lazy and used...

That feeder/camera combo is ginormous!

IM75 PSA: don't overtighten your unions. I busted up my calcium reactor while cleaning and refilling with media yesterday. I was lucky that the union was a common brand (Lasco) and was easy to get. I was able to cut off part of the recirculating manifold and remove a piece of the pipe from...

Thanks, but you give that rock scape too much credit. :p

150 Gallon Tank Took a week long trip for the kids' spring break, but I managed to get some rocks and sand into the 150 Gallon tank before I took off. Put in a Maxspect nano-block from the IM75 and for giggles, I threw in some tiny bottles of MicroBacterXLM start, Dr. Tim's One and Only and...

I picked up one of the mariculture colonies from Clearwater that came in fresh from Indo back on March 3. Here's how it goes so far after a month. Getting some color to develop, but the fuzziness! Oh the fuzzies! March 3, 2025 - sitting in QT March 12, 2025 March 21, 2025 April 5, 2025

Ich dies after being in a dry environment after around 48 hours. If you leave it out for a few days to completely dry, you'll be fine.

I buy the Ranco controllers that aren't wired yet and I use the regular probes. Sometimes I cover the probes, but not on all of them. Also, I don't buy NEMA-4 enclosures. Seems a little overkill.

Yeah, I have around 7-8 running right now. ;)

That you're trusting a single device versus another. You may be correct and the Hanna may be closer to the accurate temperature. but without another device to verify (a device not calibrated to the Hanna Checker), you don't exactly know which is correct and which has fallen out of spec. If...

I'm not saying the Ranco/aqualogic controller is right or wrong, but if you calibrated all your other devices to what the Hanna thermometer is reading, what did you expect? And how do you know which is correct?

Fish purgatory

Let me know if you have problems, I can probably take him for the new 150.

The connectors would be fine if the holder they made wasn't as thick as it is. I ended up having to remove the holder from the other return as well as that started leaking too. So this is what I have going on now. The problem also exists on the drain as well as it will pull in air and create...

I'm such a sucker for Elegance corals. I swore them off because I think in my entire reefing career, I've killed way more than I kept long term (over a year). Keeping my fingers crossed. Here's a pic of them right after they exited QT and dropped into one of my systems. Aussie Elegance Indo...
