Why don’t you just take out all the acros and let the acro eating bugs die off for a few months? Seems a lot easier. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Check out the avast marine spyglass reactor. I have a mini. Love it for GFO. Best thing about it is it doesn’t clog over time, so you don’t need to continually adjust the inflow to keep it tumbling. Second best thing about it is you don’t have to take down the whole assembly to add more GFO. If...

Or you could reinforce the crawlspace. If you’re even a bit handy, not hard to do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got some. Will PM you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How many inches do you have on the right side? I have about 3.5” and I have a panel of egg crate with electronics on it. You’ll have to drill a hole or a couple holes on the side of the stand to route cables. I’ve done that on the back of a Reefer stand and placed bulkheads to keep moisture...

As others have stated, you can either add more nutrients through food, aminos, dosing; or you can pull out less nutrients, by skimmer less, turning down your fuge lighting period, not running GFO, reducing water change frequency, etc. Within those two approaches, I go with feeding more, turning...

I’ve had some pretty bad cyano, especially with new tanks. I don’t change anything and they have all gone away with time. I agree, would be good to bump phosphates. Wouldn’t want cyano to turn into dinos. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like this idea. It’s similar to what I’m proposing, just not in the sump. It requires two ball valves to open and close, as opposed to one in the sump. The sump requires a bulkhead. Overall I think the simplicity of design and effort required are similar. Is one safer than the other? Perhaps...

Sorry, ball valve. Just to answer some thoughts, the larger the water change the more it needs to be easy. For some, starting a siphon may not be a big deal. I think it would be nice to not have to do that and deal with additional tubing and cleanup. I did consider the idea of draining off the...

Thinking about it more, I think I’m going to do it. Drill a bulkhead low-ish, probably in the skimmer compartment, maybe just above water level. Install a gate valve inside the bulkhead where I can easily access it. I can put an elbow on the end if I want draining water level to be higher. 1...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you don’t need to turn off any pumps. You just add water and let the extra overflow into the drain. Sorry yes I misunderstood. Yes, need to plug or remember to have valve closed. Or just have the bulkhead high. Or install check valves. Sent from my iPhone using...

Hmm, I like this idea. Currently I’ve installed a drain, but I was originally planning on connecting it to my manifold with a ball valve. An overflow system seems even easier. So I’m imagining a bulkhead in the sump, maybe on the back of the return section, above the ATO sensor obviously. I...

I bought from here multiple times. It might help you keep your CBB alive to transition to frozen. AC would buy from them and kept some in the fridge they would sell by the ounce. https://aquaticfoods.com/LiveBlackwormsM.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If your dad seems pretty functional, they probably would say that. But I bet if you explain the situation, they won’t give you much trouble. My dad can make his own financial decisions, but I’m sure if I were with him, he would make better ones, LOL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If your father can’t make financial decisions on his own, or has additional limitations such as mild dementia or language/communication barriers, these patients are allowed to be accompanied in KP facilities. I don’t think it’s fair to say he was “ripped off” or call it unethical, when the...

I’ve done a good amount of work without permit. We turned our detached garage into a studio, with a full bathroom and kitchen. In my parents’ home, they converted their attic into a second story with a full bathroom and lots of living space. In both those situations, these home improvements...

I also have never really had to do much with my pH probe. In the beginning I calibrated it periodically, but I haven’t in a couple years. Truth is, as long as the alk is stable, the pH probe doesn’t have to be accurate. There are multiple failsafes to ensure you don’t melt all the media and dump...

Hi Rostato, You should be able to setup an ideal carx for under 1k. You need: 1. Calcium reactor, with a pH probe holder. 2. pH probe, which can be regulated by your Neptune apex or a standalone pH controller. 3. CO2 canister 4. CO2 regulator 5. Peristaltic pump (ideal situation would be a...

Thanks. Things are getting easier with the kids. No longer just trying to stay afloat. Have more time for reefing :). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha I’m still around. Still check the site. Yeah new tank coming soon I hope. That’s an OLD photo. I’m still using that old geo 612 carx Kris. I remember you saying you were saving that for when you get an SPS tank again. Now that you have one, what are you using? I got a 618 for the new build...
