  1. I thought it was time to share what I've been working on for the last couple months. My Redsea 170 has been a fun tank, but I've had some bad luck and was needing a reboot... nah. Upgrade I spoke with Jeff at Cuttlefish and got a brand new Redsea 350 😎. I've been slowly piecing it together but today I picked up the lights and got confirmation it was cycled. I'm going to move my clown and royal garama over plus my corals of course. Equipment so far: Redsea reefer 350 2x Niro 5 WaveMaker 2x Redsea led 90's Redsea 300 Skimmer (from old tank) Upgraded locking return nozzle with random flow generators I must say I love how it's coming together (I swear it looks better in real life, led's suck for pictures)
  2. Thanks everyone, I have a few leads now 😃
  3. I am upgrading my redsea 170 to a redsea 350 I have been asked to look in to getting a mat of some kind to go under the tank. I am worried about it compressing and messing with the tank so it would have to be fairly solid. The tank will be on the lower level with a concrete slab floor with laminate tile. What are other people using, or is this just a bad idea Thank you in advance Thomas
  4. You have an artist's touch
  5. Please be patient here. Even if your TDS is low you don't know what's in it. Could be things like copper, arsenic, lead, ect. I made this mistake on my first tank (TDS were around 20) and came to truly regret it.
  6. Thank you Sir Jeff. Can't wait to see it grow 😎
  7. I would love a frag if one is available

    Torch spawning...??

    Very cool, thanks for sharing
  9. Grandma bought me this beautiful Tounge coral from Cuttlefish 😎 It's so nice when family is involved in your hobby
  10. After my heater disaster I need advice on how to move forward. All fish are gone as well as most inverts. SPS is also gone Some LPS and softies are still alive but angry. I have a little 5 gallon to use as a rescue tank but can I just throw the surviving corals and inverts in there with no bio filter? Also can I save my main system from whatever the heater released or do I have to start over.
  11. Tonight my heart is broken. I bought a larger heater a while back to get ready for cooler weather. Come home today to a cold tank with angry corals. Freaking out I reach in to see what's up and zap. The heater has exploded in the sump. Large water change and some clean up done. So far I have lost my cleaner shrimp and my clown I have had for over ten years is gasping on the sand. I have seen no sign of my royal gramma. Corals and inverts are not looking great. I don't even know what to think right now....
