Honestly I don’t know why people buy rimless aquariums and put wave makers on them. It’s a disaster waiting to happen. It’s not if but when. I’m not the smartest guy in the room but I did sleep at a holiday inn last night . The simple physics will tell you it will fail.

I also built my own diy solar system. I did 28 panels for 9kwh, 7.6 inverter and 18kwh batteries. Unfortunately I don’t have great sun like where you live but it’s still decent. Gotta love free energy. Oh I used uni-strut and 2x4’s. A crap load of L brackets.

Let’s take a moment to be thankful for everyone and everything that we have in this world. We are truly blessed. Happy Thanksgiving.

I’m gonna say it was a domino effect. Too much live stock in an unstable environment. One thing died and it set off a chain reaction. No skimmer didn’t help his situation. Once it started it almost impossible to stop.

I use them to tell me the condition of my fish. If I see them cleaning my fish a lot then I know there’s something not right.

It’s all part of the game. You gotta be a carpenter, electrician, plumber, chemist, biologist, janitor etc.

Welcome to the club. I think I seen your aquarium on YouTube or something like that.

Did I ever tell you that I use to have a life full of DRAMA ? Well I still do sometimes. Reef Drama. Lol. Last year. May 2024 when I set up the 320 in the breakfast room. I had heavy metals. Sps died or was struggling. I live on Struggle Street. After months I figured out it was rust that some...

I was actually reading up on this a few months ago. I hear it’s common practice for companies to ship with ice not dry ice because it’s expensive or no ice at all if they are trying to save on weight. If the food gets thawed then refrozen the food breaks down. That is supposed to be the test...

He didn’t give me any sps. It was a long time ago. Like in march. Or something like that.

You said copper. You do know there’s different kinds of copper right ? When I talk copper. I’m talking about copper power. When I say cuc. I’m talking about everything. Bristle worms, chitons, etc. they will all die.

Hypo salinity is an old school method. I’ve done it years and years ago. Let me see what I can remember off the top of my head. The way you want to use it is not great. Here is why. It will kill all of your inverts , crabs, cuc, etc. since you already into hypo. Let’s talk about how you should...

Well it’s a loaded question. Why ? Because it’s all about quality of materials and craftsmanship. I looked into it years ago to do my company vans. Ford e150. The best I could find was 2k without logos. With logos about 15 of them. They were around 3.5k. It was cheaper for us to have the vans...

That doesn’t mean you want a 400 gph pump. You have to account for the bends and head pressure. Best thing to do is get an over sized dc controllable pump and a flow meter. If no flow meter. Then you can do the bucket and stopwatch trick. That’s if you want to maximize your uv.

Any coral that your extremely successful with. They are all invasive. Unfortunately I don’t have that problem. Lol.

Don’t Stop …… Can’t Stop….. Won’t Stop

Getting shocked is a right of passage. Lol. It’s always from a AC Powerhead.

Let’s. See. What have I used over the years. Mostly reef crystals for about 15 years. Then IO purple bucket for 10 years. Then they got too expensive. At the beginning of the year I bought a pallet of two little fishy’s salt. It was a one time deal. I’m almost done with that salt. I really like...

Super super old school. Technically you would need a grounding probe in every body of water that has any electrical equipment. I used them early days for years and years. The only part of the probe that is titanium is the end. The rest is a copper/aluminum wire. Over time they will corrode. I...
