I have a rock with 6 rainbow BTA's. They all split from a single one I got from Aquatic Collection about 8 years ago. Honestly, these look brighter than a typical rainbow, but I'm not going to try to upsell it as something fancier than that. They are beautiful. I have put them next to my CSB...

Part of the home remodeling work was to get it ready for the fish tank. I have a water source that has a reducer that is two parts that goes down to the 1/4", but the fitting won't securely hold an RO tubing line under pressure. What do I need to get this to connect properly?

I'm planning out a holding tank for NSW deliveries and have a 34" wide x 34" deep x 92" tall area to put a tank as big as possible. I found a bunch online but they're normally about $400 + $400 shipping, but on Home Depot they sell these Chem-Tainer versions with only a $55 delivery fee. This...

I have the PayPal receipt, but I got a note from Barcode that my membership expired. It was an automatic payment. BTW: I know it says contact someone on BOD, has a link but that link to the list doesn't give me permission to view. And I guess I can just look on forums until I find someone on...

I’m in the middle of my home remodel, walls are wide open right now, and I’m setting up the RODI system. What is the absolute best way to connect my RODI to the copper pipe plumbing? I usually use the saddle valve, but I can literally plumb anything right now. Walls wide open and contractors...

I am planning on taking @Kensington Reefer's advice and going with NSW for my next tank, and it sounds like I'll need to get 300G delivered at a time. I should be able to carve out space in the garage. I want something that will be 7' tall or so (not flush with the ceiling) and as low profile...

I was reminiscing about my first reef tank, when it was thriving and full of life. Ever since that first tank, I've had a lot of issues (for various reasons). I was thinking what was the biggest change, and it was switching from NSW to an RODI with salt mix. I doubt that was the only reason why...

I haven't had a need to get any new camera gear for over 11 years. But I was also hungry for something that would create a whole new way to take photos. I started shooting different things, working with different clients, and doing all sorts of different shoots to see if I could find something...

Anyone have a good go-to place for plumbing pieces? I need a 1 1/4" male thread to 1" slip reducer. Like this, but the 1" is a slip conversion rather than a thread: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/bres-schedule-80-reducing-bushing-thread.html

I'm working with Luna-Reef.com on a sump + ATO reservoir. I want to incorporate the Neptune LLS into my reservoir, but it's hard to know how it "mounts" to a tank. Does anyone have one that can help measure the length of area that can be submerged, and the area that needs to stay out of the...

I am working on my sump design, and wondering if anyone has suggestions on probe placement and dosing placement. Probes: Temperature Salinity pH _empty Dosing Alk Ca Mg AB+ / other I'll have two 150watt heaters as well Option A More traditional placement that I'm used to Probes in drain...

I will be running two Maxspect Gyres on the back wall of my peninsula tank. All glass walls are clear (no vinyl), so I want to make my power cords as clean as possible. I was thinking of doing something similar to how wall-mounted TV's work by having wires go into the wall, and back out towards...

I just picked up a tiny variegated ficus triangularis and I have a monstera albo (1 leaf cutting w/ root) coming next week. I think these both need high humidity, and was wondering if they would do well in a terrarium while they're small. I'm going to put them in a corner that has a western and...

I need flow sensors for my return that has a manifold for my UV to run in parallel. The UV is 3/4" and the return pipe into the tank is also 3/4". My return pump has an outlet of 1" I'm thinking the flow sensors would be right at the manifolds (after the ball valve going to the UV, but before...

Can you add dual drains to a ReefMat 1200? I know it has two "inlets," but there's two for convenience depending which side you want the drain to go into. Would it be possible to just buy another "hose connector" and attach that to a second drain? Also, my second drain is an emergency drain so...

I need a float valve that I can clip onto the side of my tank to fill from the RODI system. I have a bunch that require drilling a hole into the side of the thing that's being filled, but I just want something that can be held by a bracket instead. I used to have one, but the valve wouldn't...

I have a breeder box that I'm holding my recovering CSB in. But my damn trochus snails keep dislodging the suction cups every day, so the box floats around and sometimes sinks to the bottom. I want to get some box that has strong magnets instead. Anyone have suggestions of one that has good...

I have a 25 watt and 57 watt UV sterilizer now, and I’m trying to sell the 25. I purchased the 25 watt firs, but everyone was telling me that I need the 50+ watt flavor for my 126G display tank (maybe about 150G total vol). So now I have both unless I can sell the 25 watt. Should I just run...

I’ve been trying to open this box that has my new tank, but I’ve already broken two tools trying to pry all the nails off, and still have about 45 nails to go. I’m almost an hour in and can’t open the box. Am I just completely stupid? What do I do?

I've been pretty happy with my AI Nero 3 pumps, especially because they come with nice nemguards that look pretty good. I got a beautiful Colorado Sunburst from @nly04 awhile back, and last night it decided to walk over the AI Nero 3. Now, the crazy thing is, this guy squished itself through...
