  1. That fab work looks super nice! Can’t wait to see the tank!
  2. Thank you to all of our Veterans, and most importantly, to those who paid the ultimate price, thank you.
  3. Does anyone have confirmation of specific zoas/palys that have that “super-death” juice?
  4. If you only need to drop a couple degrees, look into fans. I ran two clip on fans on a ~100 gallon system in a hot garage (peaking at 90+ degrees) last summer and was able to keep it under 84 degrees no problem. Helps if you have an Apex to control the fans.
  5. Is that the infamous TLF “tank-crasher” nori clip?
  6. Try putting it somewhere more permanent. I’ve seen euphyllia look shrunk up and crappy like that just because once they start to open up the flow will make it wiggle and it stay small. Wedge it in some of your live rock and see if that helps.
  7. Yeah, tear it down and ditch those lenses. That’s the hot ticket for black boxes too.
  8. I doubt that pipe needs to be clear. Probably get the same effect with a piece of 4” abs.
  9. @Ron had a Rubbermaid tub for super cheap a while back.
  10. Wow, even the frag plug looks awesome!
  11. Well, each unit has 72 leds, so you could compare it to a Hydra 72 if that existed.
  12. Planning a trip up north, looking to poke around Seattle for a few days. Wanting to check out any “don’t miss” LFS while I’m there.
  13. Where’s that guy that works at the water slide park?
  14. Ha, I was thinking protein skimmer. Check with Ferguson, they might have some cut offs. Or, your local PW might help you out if they have some scrap in their yard. I’ll keep an eye out at work too.
  15. I just looked at it, it looks clean. Maybe the heat from the leds is enough to keep algae at bay.
  16. It’s official, this thing works! I’ve been yanking fistfulls out every weekend.
  17. Have you considered just using a big aquaclear hob?

    Not supposed to mix RSCP for more than an hour or two. Check out their online manual.

    If you’re buying sps frags from a shop that has them in a frag tank with t5s three feet off the water and you’re throwing them in your tank right under leds that are pinging 350 at the coral, that’s gonna be a problem. I think that might be more of your problem than a rusty clamp. Just a thought.

    Why are your nitrates so high? Do you have a crazy high fish loading? Is your testing accurate? I would strongly advise against carbon dosing on a tank that new and small in volume, been there done that. Do you have a build thread, can you post a picture of your tank and sump?
