  1. This sucks big time! You had a pretty sweet african cichlid tank when I met you I totally geeked out on. I'd be willing to bet a FOWLR is easier than cichlids though due to the amazing power of the protein skimmer. Could be wrong since it's been 25 years since I had them and I was running with canisters under the tank. Time for some big non reef safe fish?

  2. Wow, the pic with you for scale really shows just how large a tank that is! That is huge! You need a snorkel and mask to work on that I'll bet. Great looking system. Cool looking stepstool too. I remember seeing something like that from Ryan from BRS on his epic home build. Also interested to learn what that fabric is handing down from your hanging canopy, looks like a brilliant solution. Let's talk her into hosting a meeting group!

  3. I've got a single RapidLED Corona fixture. Only used for about 20 minutes and it's been sitting around for probably 5 years. It wouldn't sync up correctly with my home wifi but worked at my workplace. You're welcome to try it and if it works I'd give it to you cheap. Rudy at Golden Basket ran these for many years on his systems.

  4. AI Nero 3 lower cost option, and I'm actually a bigger fan of the AI pumps over the Ecotech. Google Jaebo for lower cost copies that work OK but crap out about the 1 year mark ime. All programable with adjustable min/max flow and ramping up and down. A lesson you'll learn, either the easy way or the hard way, is that you get what you pay for in this hobby and it's worth spending the money up front. Trust someone who's been doing this for 30 years now.

  5. I'd say there's something else going on in your water. Mine has done this on occasion due to something in the water. I'm betting you've got it turned way down compared to normal too. Turn it back up and dump the cup 5 or 6 times and see if it settles down. If not turn it off for a day or so and try again
