Wow glad you were able to weather this! I really have no solution except a few battery powered airstones, so will be getting an Anker SOLIX C2000 shortly to have on hand. This could keep my small system going for quite a while. You have a solar powered battery backup?

I'm similarly SPS-crazed, but am a real sucker for a zoa garden, goniopora, chalice, plate corals, and pulsing Xenia, all of which I have doing very well towards the bottom and in shaded areas of my tank. I've been particularly happy with having Goni's in the lower light areas (towards the...

Here's the current state of my equipment configuration, starting with the sump. Space is at a premium in this little cube's stand! I removed the built-in shelf so I could fit the skimmer and roller mat sort of in the center of the sump. Re-routed the drain hose into the roller mat and it fits...

Would love one but not for this size of a tank. Have been thinking about a flasher wrasse though

Thanks Erin! When I broke my tank down 20 years ago, I gave my slimer, among other things, to a buddy of mine. He kept it going ever since, and last year I was able to get a frag of it back! It's like my long lost child.

The frags you gave me are really doing well, especially ya boy Walt

I'm using a combo of Fiji Pink and TBS live sand. I go heavy on the TBS live sand in the areas where the flow is high so it stays put

I set up this tank in August of 2024 after a roughly 20 year reef keeping hiatus! Throughout high school and college I worked at Aqua Dreams in Massachusetts, and had a 120G running a pair of 400W metal halides and VHO actinics (now those were the DAYS!). Today I'm running a 60 gallon cube mixed...

I should probably start buying lottery tickets since I also won a "Avid Aqua pack" from a Serious Reefs giveaway. I'm not sure what's going to be in it!

My pleasure! They sent this box without any explanation - just a small sticker on the outside saying it was a gift. I was so confused opening this huge box packed to the brim with really nice stuff I didn't't order. Eventually I discovered they did live giveaways streamed on YouTube, and...

Maybe 3” across? Varies a lot depending on the time of day - not huge. I’m in pacific heights.

This guy split and one of them is on the back glass - so easy to get! Pickup in SF this weekend.

I fully understand all the compromises, but this isn’t my call. My design mitigates the most PITA aspects of having a good, but I’ll still have to take it off to scrape the glass, etc. Hoping someone’s got a good reco for a woodworker!

I'm looking to get a custom hood made to cover up my lighting rig and squash all the light spillage. I've drawn up some concepts but haven't been able to find anywhere to get this made. I reached out to one guy that makes nice cabinets and furniture but once I sent him this concept he went...

I'm down to help!

@Turkeysammich scooped them up!

(Gone! This went quick!) Hello! I did some aquascape adjustments and have a few lbs of extra live rock from my 8 month old tank that no longer fits. Most of it is well seasoned Marco rocks covered in coralline, a piece is real Australian live rock, and I think one piece is from Tampa Bay...
