    Monthly cost to keep your tank running

    Honestly, don't think I can answer that, mostly purchasing comes in big chunks, i.e. new filters & resin for RO/DI, a good price on salt that you stock up on, buying large bulk amounts of regents for supplements, and jumping back into the wayback machine things like replacement bulbs were...

    Extruded Aluminum / You can build it.

    tnutz.com and have them cut for you.... because not everyone has spare Al. extrusion sitting around in their garage

    Knock off / Clone MP10- MP-40

    Man has it already been 20 years since the first Vortech pump? Damn I guess it has, I remember having the "gen 1" pumps, where you could see the actual metal magnet since it only had some clear coat over it or something, and that absolutely rusted away and bulged in no time, they were nice...

    Show off what you got from CFM!!

    That's nuts, based on the picture shown it definitely reminded me of the artificially dyed leathers I used to see back in the day.

    Anyone know where I can buy a 4’x2’ sheet of black egg crate?

    Neptune used to sell it back in the day I think. Not sure if they still do.

    The Money Pit: How much are you willing to spend on livestock?

    I think getting "burned" (not really) way back early on has helped save me from spending too much money on any one piece of livestock. Way back when there was a local show, I want to say it was BAYMAC, I bought a coral from a vendor that looked fantastic, green, blue, purple, and it was a...

    Blue/yellow Yuma

    Some evening blue fiesta style lighting with a macro lens. 5 of these went out into the wild, not nearly this big mind you. Does not look anywhere as dark blue as the OP photo, never has... even when I got it :)

    Devil’s Hand with a green tint. How to discourage the green.

    I assume you're using LEDs for your lights? If so that "white" light actually has a very healthy dose of blue in the 460nm range or so, which is one of those wavelengths that will make certain coral proteins fluoresce which is probably where the green is coming from, the "purple" probably is...

    Remember when these were like $40?

    I remember the day Hawaii banned exports of fish for the hobby, because the price instantly shot up on everything, stock that cost a business $10 the day before that they were selling for $20, now had $300 price tags on it, hell they didn't even know how much they'd cost. The greed was so...

    Reef Expertise? Rate yourself out of 10!

    I dunno how the scale works for this, like what does 10 mean on coral growing skill? If you put the most difficult acropora in a detritus filled nitrate magnet use tap water with prime as your source of water type of tank? Or is simply means how fast you are able to grow corals? Which in...

    Blue/yellow Yuma

    If you are not the recipient I apologize was trying to piece together who got one based on the picture of the log that was sitting on the DBTC table. Two more got taken, or put in the frag swap, either way, it's cool. Glad I can keep the chain going, for someone who simply threw everything...

    6/1 Members-Only Frag Swap at Mission Blue Center

    'twas nice seen everyone again, sorry if I didn't say hi and talk personally with everyone I knew, there was a lot going on, and a ton of new faces I did not know, and it was relaxing just sitting back and not doing anything for once. Met a few new (new to me) members at the table I was at...

    Blue/yellow Yuma

    Just a heads up, if you grabbed a piece of this, make a post and someone can enter you in the chain, I think I still remember how to do that. I put 5 containers on the DBTC table, and they were all gone when I left, that or someone needed to make a pee sample :)

    Cheap way to get Alk, MG and CA supplement

    Leslie's Pool supply "Hardness Plus" for calcium is about as cheap as you're going to get probably, although mixing up a 5 gallon bucket a few times you will notice some residual "brown stuff" at the bottom, and if you listen to what those BRS guys say about contaminants then "its bad". May...

    Blue/yellow Yuma

    4 years later, these little buggers are still around, they never went bonkers as they did with Ken's tank. So I notice there's a frag swap relatively close by in Brisbane, if anyone on the list (emphasis... on the list) is going to attend I can bring them. Fair warning, the size is from...

    "The Lab" - Josh and Tiffany's IM Nuvo EXT 200

    Probably some European folks they write their dates day/month/year. So when the US side saw 05/07/2023 as the ship date they assumed 2 days but it was really 2 months :D
