Parzifal

Nice!!!!   Hopefully that works and that’s an easy solution.

Couple days should be enough for most any tank.   

i think your still in determining the root cause phase of this fix.

my suggestion would be to in sequence, turn off one piece of equipment that moves water in any way.

Keep each piece off until you find the one that’s creating bubbles.   

if you have gone through all equipment except the main return pump. Then you know the problem is there.

Pictures of the setup?

try turning of the IV sterilizer for a few hours to see if the bubbles dissipate.  That can help narrow it down. 

While in school I became the aquatics manager at the petco in Davis California (at the time called aquatics specialist). 

I will second Micah’s opinion on the average petco.   Unless you have someone who is highly invested in learning the complexities and requirements of each species, those fish die quickly.

If your local petco has a good lead…they can be a great resource with excellent fish. 

Like everything around us…it depends on who you have working for you.

I’ve got a couple hundred pounds.  Shoot me a pm.

Dang. Beat me to it.   If blue z decides they don’t need the light, shoot me a pm please!

Give me a holler.   I’ve got a ton. 

I’ve got plenty.  Shoot me a pm. 
 

i have rubble, small pieces, large pieces and dry rock.

Nice!

want me to close the post?

I’ve got one as part of my sister.  Been up and running for almost three years.
 

just let me know if you’d like any. 

Ugh.  So sad I have to miss it!   Beer is delivered and chilling.   Please make sure to hang on to those taps!

hope you all have a good time,  here’s a few more pics from Rudy that are worth drooling over.

Ratchet straps with styrofoam between tank and strap work great as a way to secure it to the truck.  
 

i used that for my 360 move.  I had a heart attack when we went over every bump,  but the tank made it just fine. 

Sadly I’m out of town, but you can use my suction cups.  I can drop them at cuttlefish tomorrow if you’d like. 

Great concept art and idea.  Thanks for sharing 

What!!!  You just made my day.   They were the first store I looked at and they were out.  
 

looks like they have 15 now!  
 

i know where I’m heading tomorrow. 
 

The last two Home Depot’s I went to have discontinued it apparently.   It was a couple months ago, maybe they brought it back. 
 

They only seem to sell it in 5 packs online now. 

Just a couple more pictures of what you will see there!

Don’t forget this is event is next Sunday 8/21!

@Blue Z Reef has a bunch for sale.  He just posted a thread about it. They look pretty good!

Is the breaker tripped the apex is plugged into?

You’ve got a couple blue and purple corals,  what are they and how much do you want?

Ive got a few hearty growers that I’ve dragged recently.  You’re welcome to one of each.   
 

welcome back to the hobby!

Whos bringing the margarita machine...............  

it was brought up at the planning meeting.   Might be a perfect day for a couple pitchers of margarita.   
 

and if you don’t drink,  here’s some more eye candy for you all.

I asked Rudy from goldenbasket to send a few photos so I could show you all what you get a chance to come see at this event.

He normally does not use his shop for retail, this is truly an incredibly rare opportunity to see one of the best propagation businesses out there.

just check out what he grows!!

Definitely first picture.
