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...

Oof.

Nice, thanks for the clarification/education. Like everyone here I learn something new everyday thanks to the depth of knowledge and expertise and/or experience with our members!

I’m throwing my hat in for President, they won’t even know which Eric they’re voting for! [x] Eric [ ] Eric Muahaha!

Thanks for a great afternoon Kenny! Really enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone, wish I could have stuck around longer, but had more berghia to deliver! I was very impressed with your fish and coral offerings, and you’ve got a great team of guys there. Also a big thanks to Chad from Reef...

That’s rough, any easy OTC dip recommendations? Kung fu is great, but getting the necessary ingredients can be challenging.

What?! Have you even looked at my photos? Pro level stuff right here.

If anyone Danville/Alamo/Walnut Creek/La-Morinda/hwy 24 area wants to carpool let me know, I’ll be bringing stuff for Ken but have an open seat or two.

I got ya!

Great pic @Alexx !

I will never be able to look at an Oregon tort again without thinking “dragon dildo”.

I’ve been waffling on adding one to the new 150g, probably won’t bother as I can always add one down the road if I feel the need.

Interesting, never seen these guys!

I have seen complaints of N03 and P04 bottoming, but every system is different so I guess you never know until you try! A supplier I know in Texas switched to scrubber only, did away with the protein skimmer and now swears by it…

Urchins, emerald crabs, turbos have helped in the past for me - spending the time to do as much manual cleanup makes a big difference. Turbos and urchins will continuously knock over anything that isn't nailed down, so be ready to put stuff back daily. Algae scrubber or chaeto reactor could...

That's some pretty hefty sweepers!

Yeah there are EU/metric sizes as well, here’s a cheat sheet that shows min/max sizes for imperial vs metric: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/content/post/how-to-properly-install-a-bulkhead-in-your-aquarium

I was thinking the same, 1” for primary drain, 3/4” for secondary (herbie) and the other 3/4” for return if you aren’t “too worried” about flow. Otherwise you could cap it (or do bean as mentioned) and y the return with hob returns on either side as shown above.
