Dang I do love black sand. Looks great!

Holly, whenever you are ready, there is a huge community here itching to help with any and every part of your tank rebuild. i know a ton of people on here that will come move/plumb/fill/sift/filter/glue and refill your tank with the beautiful creatures you love looking at. whenever you’re ready, there’s no rush. Just send up red sparks and we will come (sorry just watched goblet of fire).

Somebody is super excited…as they should be, maybe just a little too much coffee late in the day. 😉

Yeah, it was a terrible cantelope too!!

I feel your pain. i had two alarms set and got distracted by cutting a dang cantelope.

You don’t, the QT system needs to be drained and cleaned after every use. Use a Tupperware container and put in some sand and rock, keep it in the sump. When you use the QT tank put the container in the QT tank. When you are done with QT, bleach the sand and rock, amquel the heck outta it and put it back in the sump for next time you need to QT. this way you have some beneficial bacteria and it lessens the ammonia spike from new fish. you still need to do daily water changes, and it’s imperative the container doesn’t go back into your system until you nuke it!

Yikes! Glad you’re alright!

Dangit. Payment sent! Sorry for the delay!

Alrighty then. for any of you all who aren't paid members. I have to imagine this last round of group buys had to convince you to join up (it’s Pennies compared to what we spend on our pets in this hobby). the money 100% goes to the aquarium community and pays for awesome events like this. The more people signed up the better the events! join up today and check out the members only group buy tonight. if that pectina didn’t make your eyes pop out of your head, you’re in the wrong hobby! I can’t wait to see what Holly, Jon and Jeff have in store for the members only tonight!

Sadly, nearly every grocery store chain has removed their saltwater tanks. They require a level of expertise to care for the live food animals that is out of the range the chains are looking for and able to maintain. to my knowledge no Safeway/Albertsons/Krogers/Whole Foods/piggly wigglys have tanks. there was just no money to be made with them. what’s really sad is the amount of life loss that happened due to inexperienced care takers and malicious customers putting things in the tanks 🙁 truly your best bet to find any whole cold water system is going to be a restaurant supply company. Also, please be more specific in your posts. If you dont tell us specifically what you want, we can’t help you get it.

This was amazing. I think I was ~3.7 seconds after this was posted and still missed it! @SuncrestReef, @CuttleFishandCoral, @Gil&Fin you have WAY outdone yourselves.

That’s a good deal since one of those is like $70.

Great aquascaping!! make sure to hit up @SuncrestReef for apex detail questions. There’s lots of people on here that can help set things up, but he’s truly one of the experts (kinda nationwide type expert).
