How does the reefing community handle them? I am sure the auto feeders will work for a couple of days, but what about 1 - 2 weeks? Last time the wife and I went on vacation we paid the neighbors kid to feed our parrots twice a day. The fresh water is easy, once a day.... The reef tank is a...

https://www.nyos.info/en/hardware/absch%C3%A4umer/quantum-eq Anyone here have one? The wife and I run the Mobius App, and so far love the app. Originally I was hopping Ecotech or AI made a skimmer pump that I could retrofit to the Reef Octopus, but no luck. The Nyos EQ skimmers are Mobius...

As mention in a previous posts, we have had troubles getting our skimmer set up. I finally hit that sweet spot and for a month the skimmer was operating perfectly. Then Tuesday the 24th.... hell broke loose. Chain of events -Tuesday during the day skimmer is acting normal, foam is about mid...

worth it? does it actually work? We test our tank twice a week ever since incident with the rowaphos. And my wife is just hyper paranoid of Ammonia in the tank. The first time we saw the Hanna tester give us a reading of .1 for Ammonia we almost had a heart attack. Since then we have learned...

I am sure this is beat to death... But yeah Last night I scored a great deal on a Hanna Master test kit. I was pretty excited, and have had some shocks... First was Ammonia, it freaked me the eff out when it came up at .1 for both of my tanks. But some research, and some math I learned that my...

2 in my chaeto, 1 on the glass in the refugium, and one on a small rock in the display tank. The two in the chaeto were easy... I gently removed the chaeto from the the sump, and carefully removed a clump that it was attached too. The one on the glass I syphoned out with a hose and razor. The...

are they really peaceful? My wife picked up a pair of watchmen gobbies yesterday for our 30 gallon. She loves watching the tanks and will watch them for hours. She acclimated the gobies, and put them in the 30. Do note the stock of our 30 has changed, two clowns, one 6 line wrasse, one long...

is always a good thing. As visiting A&RD in Citrus Heights is not exactly a short drive to check out. But the wife won $400 in their 13th annual anniversary celebration raffle. Our 90 gallon is going to get some really nice corals here in month. Made the 5 hour round trip worth it :)

Free Hydra 26. It works great, but requires a controller to work remotely. I do not have a controller that will work with it. It powers on, and ramps up to full power. I got it from a member during the year end BBQ, and figure I shall pass it on! If you have a controller, this is great...

My wife discovered Biota's website last night and was looking through all their angel fish, and their Mandarins. We have seen flame angels at Petco, AC, Neptune, etc. Then her mind was blown at all the different angels on Biota's website, but the down side is reef safe with caution. Also someone...

So my wife and I kicked off the 90 with Dr Tim’s All in One, and fed the tank Ammonium Chloride. Dr Tim’s claims ready same day, etc. I picked up a Salifert test kit, and it has been two days now. Each time I test the tank it is in the .15 range. Do we give it more time? Put more Dr Tim’s in...

We don’t get them to often in our dealership, but every once in a while they arrive. This here is an 8.3 liter Cummins in a Freightliner. Unfortunately the customer overheated the engine. Number 2 piston sleeve at that point decided it did not want to stay in place, and dropped 3mm. Just...

I got some live sand over the weekend. We are looking to fill the tank this coming weekend, and start cycling. We got some Dr Tim's, live rock from my tank,extra bio balls in my 30, etc. (BTW my tank tests pretty good). The question is this. My wife wants to start aquascaping the tank. She has...

Need some advice. The water line of the tank will be at the slots for the weare box. But what is the ideal water line inside the weare box?1- 2” bellow the tank water line? Because once I have the weare box water line I can cut the emergency drain and then measure out the herbie. Which BRS...

Saturday the 17th was a busy day for the wife and I. Before the pot luck, the wife and I headed to SF to meet up with Euod for his Oceanic 90 gallon. I also purchased a Reef Octopus skimmer from him. We loaded the tank into the Crosstrek, strapped the stand to the roof, and home we went...

If everything goes well I will have my new to me 90 gallon tank set up over the weekend. In the 90 will be new sand, and new rocks, and I would to try and kick start the tank rather than wait 3 - 4 months for it to get going. I thought about taking a live rock from my 30, but they all have...

Been battling hair algae for 3 months now. It is only my tallest rock that has the issue. The tallest rock has been shaded for 3 weeks now, and it has no effect on the algae. I have reduced the output of my Vega from 80% to 50% back around the 1st week of December. AC feels that my Vega just...

I am thinking of adding them to my tank. My dragonette seems to be doing good it spends all day scooting across the sand eating something. I can't see what it is eating, but it is munching all the time. Plus it does eat Hikari spirulina shrimp. But I figure copepods would be good for the tanks...

My sister was very avid when she started reefing. Since it was 15 years ago, she bought lots of books. Now we have the internet, and books are kinda obsolete. I have a collection on her books that are at least 10 to 15 years old. The books are free with a catch. My sister and I have parrots...

Some time on Monday a rather odd thing happened to my wife, and my Mustang. Someone either at Petco or at my condo stabbed my Mustang. Yeah you read that right, they stabbed my Mustang in the trunk lid with knife right above the spoiler. I work at a dealership and the body shop we deal with (Fix...
