Daymn. Sorry to hear this. I wish you well. Let me know if you need any help

Whatever you put in an aquarium. If it’s not super clean and has dead bacteria/ crud, whatever. It will cycle. Now whether it’s a big cycle or mini cycle. That depends on how much dead stuff is on whatever you’re putting in the aquarium. So whatever you put in let’s say a bunch of sand. And it...

There are different kinds of quote Live Sand. Most of the sand is dead but there is a dormant culture in there. When you add saltwater it activates the culture. That’s what I was told back in the day. These are the bags on the shelf at the fish store. Nothing can be kept on a shelf for months...

It might be a small polyclad or aefw. I think aefw have pointy tails. It’s been a while. Google is your friend. Either one. You don’t want or need.

Welcome.

They have a list at the door. Just tell them your screen name.

Look on YouTube. I see people restoring rolexs all the time. They sell tool kits and have classes too.

I’ll take it. I’ll be at cfm.

Is he a supporting member ?

Support the bottom some more. Fill it up and check all the seams.

Yes 1/2”. I was thinking thick but typed 1/4”.

Sorry to hear bro. It’s acrylic ? Rtv won’t work plus it might have chemicals. If it is acrylic. Weld on 4. Or 16. Clamp it when the acrylic softens. Then bond a reinforcement strip along the seam. At last a 1/4” thick on both sides.

What do you plan to keep in there ? Dead rock and sand is asking for a super long cycle to maturity. Like a year to year and the half for stability sps. Others might say I’m wrong. I think your gonna grow every algae possible

Technically yes. Less thermal contact. Unless you tape the whole thing. Then you just should use the gravy.

I do. It still looks the same. I take bad pictures to make Erin mad. @Kensington Reefer it kills him.

On the radions and the x30. The whole back is the heat sink. It’s lame because they don’t put any gravy on there so the heat sink doesn’t work well. I bought this one on Amazon. It was like 12 dollars

Thanks Thomas. I wasn’t planning on it. Although we could take it and raffle off the equipment for the club. Dunno what to do with the aquariums tho. Looks like it has some highend equipment.

Here is a simple mod / maintenance. Depending on how you want to think about it. I measure my x30 pre paste 40.8C. And after paste 34.4C that’s 6.4C difference which is 43.5 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s a lot. So what am I taking about ? Thermal Paste. Some thing no one thinks about but it’s...

I’ll add one more thing. You need to skim well. According to Dong Zou. It’s actually a form of carbon dosing. He goes into it deeper on the reefers network on YouTube if your interested
