My theory is something inside the wav leaks or a wire partially breaks, because I have had a couple fail on me intermittently. Then the connections aren't rock solid and I have a toddler who sometimes wiggles things. The guy on the phone at Neptune said he hadn't ever seen as many wav's (7) on...

Upsizing my ro container. 27 to 75 gallon capacity. I know, I should get plywood under there. But I'll just fill it a little bit and see when the sag happens. Worst case, garage floor is really wet. Lots of projects, not enough nanny time to get me free to do projects. Tank has been somewhat...

Not a hijack if you are talking about the stuff in the thread, lol. I wanted to get away from the complex German assembly, but boy do they work.

Stupid club. I come here looking for a cheaper solution and end up getting the DC Tunze skimmer for more money. Bunch of enablers you are!

I just saw the miniq is only good for glass/acrylic up to 1/2" thick and mine is 3/4" acrylic. I was looking to try that, maybe I get one and stick it on my 45. But that and the fact that it is only really rated to 20 gallons and the Tunze is 30 w/ heavy bioload I am leaning towards forking out...

They do the same as in a big tank, gives your water gas mixing and helps pull waste out. I run one on both by 30 and 45 tanks and am happy with them. My skimmer has helped a lot before when I accidently overdosed vodka in my little tanks and my fish needed to breathe. I would say it is less...

Have you taken it apart to clean it before? The AC one is a pain to get the plastic parts to all line up for me. And the DC once is $260 vs $200 on the ac one. That's the wrong direction on price, lol

I mean, I am about ready for another coral shipment. Who wants to spend my money for me at a lfs and send it all (or most of the coral) to me? Haha jk...but maybe?

Hey Bar, I just had my Tunze 9004 skimmer die and am looking to replace it. They are $200 new, so I am open to others. I have anohter one on my 45 gallon cube and don't hate them, except when I need to figure out how to put them back together after a cleaning. BRS and some people on youtube...

Thanks. I had some flow issues where my wav pumps weren't getting recognized so I only had 4 of my 9 wavemakers going for a couple weeks. Cyano took over a lot. I ended up getting my mp60 out and putting that on the tank just in case the wav's went out again when I came back to the bay for...

I would consider keeping the tank going with a few softies than you can grow out. Super low maintenance. Feed, skimmer clean, and top off and nothing else is needed. That gives you something to look at and grow, but not worry about coral disease. That is where I am currently at with my big...

I know we have at least one Dr here in the club. Does a private message on the bar forum count next time? I'll get my wife to send you one next time too!

The "cost" to the companies who develop is universal. The cost to the patient is much lower in other countries with single payer systems that can negotiate what they want to pay. You are right that the insurance companies are a huge part of the problem and that doesn't exist in other systems...

I don't like this personally. I like them closer to 20-30, and I run mine closer to 80 at times. Temp swing aren't great, get an Inkbird thermostat and a titanium heater. Alk swings aren't great, sounds like you got a doser. I think when torches melt fast, it is often a bacterial infection.

I was always fine with 30 nitrates and .5 on the phospate. Agree they aren't that high.

I think we just call that life :)

No you aren't ;) Good to know, I saw this with my clams now, the maxima loves to stick to the plug square it came on and the deresa does "walk" or get blown around a little. I can worry less now, thank you.

The Two Little Fishies 2-3mm sand is my favorite. Soft enough for burrowing snails and fish, coarse enough for real flow. It is what I am using in my 2 sand bottomed tanks.

If it is what I am thinking of, you want the middle length, 24" one. The short one doesn't reach where you want and the long one flexes too much to give you appropriate pressure to clean the hard the scrape stuff. At least for my glass this is true. @derek_SR , can you confirm?

36" tall is great! You'll love it, and the fish will too.
