Unintentionally my pump doesn't sit completely on the floor, the pipe was a tad short so only 2 out of the 4 feets contact the glass and I think that reduced noise :D. Those syncras are anything but silence. Also having less friction helps with noise. When i switched from 3/4" to 1" it made a...

I've been ponder about the same thing for my cabinet and never made the choice between magnetic vs other. Right now I turn it on by apex.

Would magnetic switch work than IR for door?

You can convert you stock ATO tank into a fuge and put another ATO container on the dry side. I have the 525xl and I'm using both the ATO + half of the sump as fuge (2 fuges) +1 on oversizing your skimmer will result in annoying inconsistent skimming

+1 $100 is nothing compare to the amount of time and $ that already is in your tank :)

I deal with them about once a year. When they get a bit out of hand I get some peppermints, put them in an acclimation box with some small rock with aiptasia, then release them once confirmed. I used to do the whole aiptasa x thing but it is very much cat and mouse.

Remember the last time we had a club event where we tried to make rock scape with cement and how glorious that turned out? :) No way I would ever try to build this myself

Some zoa are way more finicky as well. Some would dwindle on me while other grow like weeds.

Fun video on the strength of glass bottom And this is a crappy thin little tank. I have zero worry about the damage from my rock topple over and hitting the sand. Side to side earthquake movement that potentially cause the water to move tank off the stand would be a bigger worry imo.

Or... you know... rock with holes.... New product: Holey Rock

Not necessarily, I wouldn't trust it enough to auto adjust dosing.

What are the dimensions? Hopefully I can fit it in my cramped sump.

Rich Ross use sea water IIRC. But that supposedly pumped from a "clean" spot and goes through a lot of filtration before it is used. I also remember some of the ocean side large aquarium use filtered ocean water

Looking back 2 years ago they were just a few polyps. I have FTS snapshots on the first post.

Quick update video Trimmed back the plates quite a bit. Moved the colony of orange digi to the front Added 2 more clowns

I like BRS's RODI system. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/4-stage-value-plus-ro-di-system-bulk-reef-supply.html Easy to maintain and reliable. Pressure gauge is very helpful to evaluate if you need to replace filter TDS meter to double check water quality at input and output

I saw from one of melevreef video where he drilled holes on LR and use acrylic rod to mount frag. I think that could accomplish similar goal where coral is forced to grow up since it is unable to sprawl?

How do you keep it from flying around and smashing into the rock? Even my superglued frag can become unglued and fly off.

I have seen these videos a few times, but I wonder how well it would sustain. Planted tank has decent amount of flow and that would blow the sand all over the place.

I stopped doing QT on my new entries because I decided that I don't have the time/space to do it right. Imo the whole tiny bucket with a heater + bubbler thing might work for some fish but would be super stressful for some others. I have a bunch of perfectly healthy fish died during my QT that...
