As a large tank owner, can I make your life easier? Invest in a second 44 gallon brute. Invest in the roll cart for both. Fill and mix one container. Add a float valve to auto shut off when it is full. When you drain the tank, put the empty brute next to the newly made water, and drain until...

That is really nice. Can you replace the screen? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looking good. You have some great colors there. Nice! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The first year of my current tank, I had calcium of 600 or more. Just not enough corals to use it up for the first year. I never saw any negative affects of this, other than a couple "snow days." I chase Alk pretty much ALL the time. I do run a calcium reactor now, but didn't for the first...

3 titanium, 500w heaters with no thermostats. Run by a Ranco controller. Keep the tank at 78'. This is constant as it never gets that warm in Pacifica. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

For me, yes it is. However you could probably build a really nice one for the same. I just wasn't interested in doing the research to really learn how to do it right. So, this was an easy fix. It is very simple...almost painfully simple. Feels pretty cheap (cause it probably is) however it...

I've used the carbon doser for a few years now. Pretty darn easy, no noise at all, very steady all the way to the end of the tank. I usually don't realize I am low on Co2 until the tank is completely empty. It gives a flash from a red LED each time a bubble is sent. You can watch the...

Boy do I feel ya! Sorry about all that. If you are ever in Pacifica, send me a PM and I'll hook you up with some sticks. For me a crash just motivates me, and often allows for a new approach, or change in aquascape / coral focus. Good luck. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Congrats Steve! You need to start a tank thread yourself. Others might find inspiration as well. It's not just for others, I find myself looking back through and remembering all the struggles, and seeing just how much it has changed over the years. My hope is that long after I am done with...

Oh, and your frag is alive and well......... In about 9 places! LOL! No one leaves this house without a frag of it. LOL! Price of entry! Love that coral. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

New, part time store in Pacifica. Called "The fish Doctor." Nice guy, who primarily does maintenance and set up / emergency help type stuff. However he has a nice space with some coral tanks and some fish holding tanks. Seems very knowledgable and stoked on the hobby. Best to call first to...

Nah, something I picked up at work from a co-worker. He grew up in Boston.

I'm wicked SMAAAT!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks Bob. Back on track for the moment. Stopped into "the fish Doctor," Mike, while walking the dogs tonight. Store was looking good, and he had some nice stuff. You came up in conversation. Seems like a good dude. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Lol! I have thought about it many times, just never pulled the trigger. I am sure somebody would be interested in it. Great way to check out the tank. Even if you just look through it.

Oh man, I would love to, but I have a 14.5 year old Maroon that would be the winner of that bout. :( You are welcome to frags though. I might have corals that I'm not ready to frag, but I am happy to frag most of them. If you have your eye on anything particular, just PM me and I am sure I...

My Giant Derasa clam with the Starry Blenny chillin on top. Pink Millipora Sunset Millie (I think? $10 frag from Neptune)

Rasberry Lemonade (from Jim "Gimmito") Thought it was lost in the tank crash. Cut it off the rock, but a very tiny piece remained, and regrew to this. Pocillipora (from Arnold "Apon") Green Stag over Orange Digi Perhaps my favorite coral I have ever had. Green Tenius.......lost my...
