Where do you live? I’ve got a small bottle trap I made that works quite well. I live in Tigard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I say cyano. Mad Mike taught me a trick years ago to turn off lights for three days while blowing it around. He used to do it up to once a month as needed with no ill effect on his sps dominant tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

These are awesome btw! I happen to have my setup from Brian already wired up, and didn’t realize how important the ability unplug the cap was until I used it. Brilliant! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Autotopoff.com. They make a complete kit; float switch, relay, box your skimmer plugs into, and plug. I’ve got a couple of these in my system, one for my skimmer and one for my auto top off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool program on octopus in aquarium right now on OPB by a marine biologist in his home Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, while I know it’s off topic, you could instead put time and effort into a track car to race. I’ve been seriously thinking of that, though not having a double garage would make it difficult. I actually think I enjoy wrenching just slightly more than reefing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought this and the tunze nano one to compare. Flipper is hands down the best. Neutral buoyancy makes a huge difference, and it’s super narrow (important because my undata grows out toward my glass). Tunze sinks faster than a rock if it breaks free, and doesn’t have the scrubber side. I just wish I’d bought one way back when they came out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The Fremont runner? Any relation to the hash slinging slasher? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Actually both, dog door and the other non sliding portion! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dude, that patio door disassembly was crazy! Great video. I’ve never seen a slider like that. Awesome setup! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been using their standalone app for close to a year or more I’d say. It works better than their Tapatalk version. But they’re also like 1000X bigger than us too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[language filter] Andrew, looking sweet! I hope you’re hitting up Brian for some stuff while he’s in tear down mode. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve had plenty of those for sure! It’s interesting hearing it from you though after understanding the painstaking level of detail you’ve put into your system! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Omg, I just woke up to the banner on top of my phone screen saying bicyclebill has the longest...anyway. About 50 lbs of my rock, those pesky hairy mushrooms, the green zoas and dark blue zoas are all about 25 years old. Started with a 55, upgraded to a 60 15 years ago, and have had the 90 in its current iteration for around 7 years. Lessons learned: buy the size you really want the first time and don’t skimp on equipment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got Jorge, Fernando, Sean, Lewisriverfisherman for sure. I’ll try my best for Freddyk and Richard972. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yah, I literally came close to tearing down for good a few years back because of aptasia. I was very much being a sarcastic jerk in my comment above... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can someone post a pic of aptasia? I don’t remember what it looks like, since it’s been a couple years since I bought my nudibranch’s... but really, they were what kept me from shutting down my tank a while back Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Salty underground is what I did, and I highly recommend. I decided the $35 overnight shipping was worth it to me because they worked 100% Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got plenty left. Going to next meeting. If you want let me know. I’ve sent pm’s to those I’ve already made plans with Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Who needs some monti undata? I need to break off several 2-3” pieces to be able to continue cleaning my glass. $10 each, with some freebie purple haze monti of you want it or some green cap of some sort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ooh, after reading Brian’s post I realized it’s worth clarifying needle valve, as there are two. One on the regulator to control c02 output and one in the effluent line controlling output from reactor into sump. I don’t use the effluent one, but have the ultra fancy c02 needle valve on my ultra fancy regulator. And it works about the same as the ultra cheap ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dang, how could anyone possibly follow the gospel from Rudy?!? I’ve had much better stability since I added the kamoer peristaltic pump, though I had to replace the roller head short of six months due to noise. 100% agree with Jeremy and Rudy on the regulator and needle valve, though needle valve isn’t needed with peristaltic pump. I’m still a big fan of the Dwyer mini flow meter to make it easier to keep track of flow through needle valve if using one. You can literally see the ml/min flowing. I’m still very happy changing to reactor though. I only have to mess with it every 6 months or so, as opposed to monthly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve got a ton of chaeto out in Tigard. Have to throw it out every couple of weeks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
