    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    I guess I should probably start considering a different tank if I end up returning it. If he does give me a full refund, I may just use the money to fix up the stand and do everything to get it in shape. Otherwise I'll probably look into getting something like the CADE peninsula or if Waterbox's...

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    Can I charge it back via CC this far back (July 20, 2022 is when I paid)? Can't ELOS just deny it?

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    Well, it's been another month and a half without any responses from ELOS. They promised the new stand and hardware this month, yet I've gotten nothing despite requesting updates every few months. They have had 3 months to tell me if this wasn't going to happen, yet I've gotten nothing. I've...

    ReeFi Uno 2.0 lights are pretty amazing

    LOL. Are we on a preschool playground? Wow. It's a minimal square box with rounded corners, how can that be ugly? I painted mine white to match things.

    Dinoflagellates: Who has beat them?

    Temporary UV + Live Rubble worked for my Os. Dino’s. I also was temporarily successful using NoPox but that wasn’t a great long term solution.

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    Black Friday deals started up, and I've pretty much emptied all my tank savings for everything. The only thing I have left is the AquaDriver skimmer neck cleaner. I don't know if they'll have any black friday deals, so no rush to get that. What I just purchased: ReefMat 1200 + Extra roll...

    UV Sterilizer

    The green machines are good for short term use, but for ongoing use I would get something like AquaUV.

    UV Sterilizer

    I used one to get rid of Dinos (osteropsis). I just stuck it in my display for a couple of weeks and removed it. It worked just fine!

    Proposed change to BARCode waiting list

    I've had the large suction cups for so long. I get daily text messages and conversations on the forum. I'm just waiting for someone new who needs it, though I guess I could pass it on to @The_Lazy_Reefer or something.

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    Looking pretty far into the future, but after the new tank cycles, I'm going to move my inverts (including bta's and magnifica) from the temp tank to the new display, but then keep it fallow for 76 days (just to be safe there). Then run my remaining two fish (clowns) through an ich QT of some...

    Any houseplant experts? Monstera Albo and Variegated Ficus Triangularis in a terrarium?

    Yes! So far so good, but that little "globe" thing on the right got some mold. I don't think there was enough air circulation in that one.

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    Status update: ELOS Still no Quiet Drain 3 instructions. I've asked nicely once a week with zero response. Still waiting on the stand to ship with the right screws I sent the overflow lids back, including the one that fits but needs to be replaced since it came fairly damaged. Still no...

    Salty_Taste650: Innovative Marine 14Gal Peninsula

    I've found it pretty difficult to grow macros in a pretty well established tank. There's just too much other algae and stuff taking up all the nutritent. I've had success with Chaetogro, not so much iodine. Just note, chaetogro can also bump up all the other algae and other nuisances as well.

    Any houseplant experts? Monstera Albo and Variegated Ficus Triangularis in a terrarium?

    Actually... grow light is a full spectrum LED and it's on an old Apex Jr ;) I also have my humidifier connected to an Neptune RO solenoid that's attached to my RODI system and gets refilled every day automatically with all my Neptune OS-1 sensors. It's all parts left over from my Reefer 170...

    Any houseplant experts? Monstera Albo and Variegated Ficus Triangularis in a terrarium?

    The monstera is doing well in my office with a humidifier, steady around 65% RH! I placed the ficus triangularis in a little IKEA "greenhouse" that I modified, and it's usually around 80% humidity. Monstera Albo: Corner of my home office with a 20watt growlight (I've since moved the light...

    Reefer stand help needed (was Reefer gap)

    It's great that you took the precaution with the stand! Glad you got it figured out. It's been 5+ years, but I think my plumbing might have had the same little "mark" on the threading (and I had no issues with it). I have all my plumbing sitting in the garage right now, so I'll take a look in...

    Fish ID: Magnificent fox face?

    I talked to @under_water_ninja at some point and he's very willing to help get a hold of something and even run it through QT for you. That's the route I'm going for my upcoming fish list. Happy to pay a local fish store (especially when they do things right).

    Reuse from tank with dinos

    Haha yes! It wasn't pretty and lost all my corals. I actually beat it with NoPox (the bacteria beat out everything else) at first, but that wasn't great nor sustainable, because as soon as I let up, dinos would come roaring back. Ultimately I identified them correctly as the Osteropsis (sp?)...
