    Anyone else into Magic cards?

    I was in kindergarten in ‘95 and some older kids in the neighborhood introduced me to it. I have memories of them trading me like 10+ cards for one and of course I would take that! I often wonder what exactly I got swindled out of

    Anyone else into Magic cards?

    I played a lot growing up. Had a good sized collection, played tournaments and all that. One of my favorites was a blue deck that upset a lot of people (counter/mill based). Unfortunately lost all of my decks a car wreck and never could get back into it like I was. Sold off the rest of the...

    Unfortunately I my frag is no longer with us. I’ve lost a couple things so I gotta do some testing to see what’s going on. Been traveling for work a lot lately and juggling family life so unfortunately my tank hasn’t been getting the love it deserves.

    Definitely killer deals on here! I’m obligated to keep this tank, but aside from better supporting the “up-sump” I won’t be making any major charges anytime soon. It was gifted from a friend after he couldn’t keep it and he’s been enjoying seeing it get used as much as I enjoy makin it work...

    I appreciate ya! Definitely keeping these fish fed. The blue spotted puffer starts tasting corals if I don’t lol. Only thing he wont touch are euphyllias. I’ve learned Zoas are a waste of time with him in the tank. I feed heavy and the cuc does a good job with the leftovers. Off subject, but I...

    Stop you’re making me blush I value all the feedback and taking every bit of advice seriously. I assume I’m doing something right to have life in the tank, and I dig my MacGyver style. With 5 humans and a collection of animals to feed at home the budgets tight but we make it work lol

    Reefin’ on a Budget

    This is why I joined the club! I’ve just been wingin it and attending YouTube university. The stuff I saw for this type of idea implied no issues with resting things on the corner. I really did have my reservations about it but didn’t have anything for a shelf on hand, so my rusty screws were an...

    Right now it’s resting on the corner of the rim.

    Right now there’s a few screws along the top holding it to the walls. Soon to be external brackets/shelf to get it off the rim.

    True. They’re at the top so not worried about leaking but rust is already there. Maybe brackets will be one of this weekends projects.

    Reefin’ on a Budget

    Thank you! You and I are on the same page. That was an after thought of mine and plan to add some kind of bracket(s). Before putting any weight into it I lifted it a hair off the tank and drove a few screws through it into the wall thinking that would help somewhat. Probably doesn’t but made me...

    Still a newb but I think it’s looking pretty good. I was one of the first in line at the swap. Immediately put it in my cooler. Left at 2pm with roughly an hour and a half drive. Temp acclimated, but didn’t dip or drip.

    Couple shots of the whole tank and a better look at my diy above tank filtration. Don’t judge too hard keep the title of this thread in mind lol! It’s a 7gal trash can, with two smaller ones stacked inside. The intake is a capped L shape with bunch of holes drilled into the bottom. I have some...

    True I guess they’re the hostees lol. They’re staying either way, I just haven’t decided whether they’ll move to the new tank when it’s up and running or stay in this one.
