    Anemone box with magnets?

    I'm fine waiting if they responded, but zero communication and even actively deleting my request for help isn't something I can be patient on. Maybe they'll figure out a way to improve communication later, but I'm moving on.

    Anemone box with magnets?

    OK, I'll dispute the charge with my credit card company. Back on the hunt for another box. I could also just get some magnets. Any suggestions on saltwater proof magnets I can order?

    Anemone box with magnets?

    I've tried reaching out to pnw-custom through email and then on social media where they're very active, but I've been ignored. I also left a comment on their latest photo, and they promptly deleted it. I literally just asked if there was a better way to contact them regarding an order, and they...

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    Very true. But there’s so much flow right now even at a low percentage, I can’t imagine needing more. But we shall see!

    Power Cables into the wall?

    Yes, that’s exactly what I’m thinking about with this.

    Power Cables into the wall?

    That’s good info! Thank you. Also, great suggestions for me to think about too.

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    Weirdly, one of the connection "covers" from controller to pump is manufactured oblong, rather than circular, so there's no way to screw it on. It's not pliable at all. I was thinking maybe I could heat it up with a hair blowdryer, but it's just not budging. It's a very hard plastic. Good thing...

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    Turned on the gyres today. Even at 20% they move a ton of water. Mounted vertically there is still a lot of surface agitation. Anything above 60% bouncing off the middle of the long side makes water splash over. Having them pointed to the middle of the long side is cool, there is actually two...

    Anemone box with magnets?

    They're still pretty active on social media, so I'll try reaching out there, but looks like they're not getting emails?

    Power Cables into the wall?

    Interesting with the hook. Do you have any photos of such hook? Also, yes, I think I'm going to have 5" to 8" gap between the tank and the wall, just so it's easier to access cables on occasion.

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    Update from Francois: 1. Screws: He said he's going to just wait for the right screws from Italy with the new stand - I'll just grab some from the local hardware store for now so I can start playing with plumbing. 2. Overflow Lid: He sent me the return label finally, so I can send this one back...

    Power Cables into the wall?

    This will be a brand new build and a brand new wall, so I can make it anything. Maybe that's a big plus for this to work out. I'll have the builders add two big conduits (3" or more?) down the wall with some kind of string. Though with two nice smooth conduits, I bet it wouldn't be too bad...

    Power Cables into the wall?

    I will be running two Maxspect Gyres on the back wall of my peninsula tank. All glass walls are clear (no vinyl), so I want to make my power cords as clean as possible. I was thinking of doing something similar to how wall-mounted TV's work by having wires go into the wall, and back out towards...

    Clownfish fry

    My clowns have always laid eggs once a week or so. You'll have plenty of coral food for awhile =)

    Any automatic feeder recommendations?

    A few ways to fix this (though fish can learn quickly): 1. Feed more often -- food always being in the water at some point will keep fish from rushing in at a specific time. You can feed the same amount, but all throughout the day. However... you probably want to feed more just because a lot of...

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

    I think when I say terrarium, it's basically glass enclosing the pot for the sake of increasing humidity. I know that terrarium can mean a thousand different things, so just wanted to clarify this is a super simple enclosure for humidity. A paludarium is a dream. I've seen some really cool ones...

    Richie's Reefer 500

    I totally feel you on the casket thing. I think it’s a weird thing for sure, especially with your situation and the whole shape of the crate. The tank is a positive thing. A great hobby, a build, growth and lots of learning. I hope that works out for you! I would recommend keeping the two tanks...
