Considering upgrading from my current light but this is going to be too big for my IM 15
Definitely over kill for an IM15 and the layout of the 2 pucks would be awkward with a lot of light spill. XR15s are my go to for an IM15 sized/shaped tank.

Not a fun purchase but had to buy it. I already have a much smaller version of this, but it only lasts for less than 60 minutes with the items I have connected to it (not the heater and lights of course).

I got this . Not the best looking but 2kwh $360 is hard to beat. Just tested it and it works great. It “should” last me 24h with heat and flow. Bluetooth connection to monitor the battery .

Yes, but I had the same question before buying these.
Simple DIY. A 150ah battery + 600w inverter charger combo. I use a magnet to attach the inverter charger to the battery. It have 1 ac outlet. The battery have a Bluetooth connection so you can see the charge and discharge level.

I'd check out @Coral Hub (Nathan) since they're a local club sponsor and Nathan packs his bottles with an absolutely insane concentration of copepods, probably 10-20x what I've seen from Algae Barn. He's running black Friday sales too.

Seconding this. I've always been very pleased with his stuff.

25% off Squidgly tongs with white tips. Bought two, 36" and 16" with different tips, so will see how good these are. I really like how the tips are interchangeable and can articulate to get into tight crevices and under corals.

Any chance anyone went to aquatic collections today or is planning to go tomorrow?

I'm wondering if they still have the advertised salts on on sale in stock?

Hoping to grab a 200gal size box or bucket. I work tomorrow Saturday so wouldn't be able to get there until 3pm if not later.

I'm also open if anyone know of good deals on salt locally or online with free shipping, "I don't really care what brand though I've only ever bought reef crystals"
