FFR. Acrylic is a very "oily" material..one of the reasons why silicone doesn't stick to it.   Anywho, the acrylic needs to "dry out" a little.  The acid bath really speeds this up and etches the surface. 

That and a little bacteria... you will have homemade crap butter in no time. 

My favorite glue by far is IC gel from bob smith.  It comes in a huge tube and comes with 2 or 3 extra tips. 

The dollar tree glue works well also but i don't like shopping at "big pile of chinese [language filter]" stores.  Dollar tree, walmart, etc. 

Get yourself a little mister bottle of accelerator as well, works really well. 

Karate classes are going to take too long.  Go big young buck....

Trade your 4 head for a 3 head dragon soul?  2 or 3 heads anyway, i can check if you are interested. 

Looking sweet!   

Did you get your token and get it all set up? 

I seriously do need more aptasia though in case someone has a nightmare level infestation..

Merry xmas all.  I asked santa for a breeding population of aptasia.

I have not had olive garden in like 10 years but the first time i remember

"this is amazing!, i can't believe they found a way to get rid of all the flavor!" 

"Excuse me miss.. what is in the alfredo sauce?"   

"Water, flour, and a bit of white glue" 

"So no actual spices?" 

"No.  would you like some salt or pepper?" 

"Oh, no. Flavor would ruin it, i like it just like this"

Hey man, tbell is for the people of all backgrounds. Don't hate on my college days staple diet. 

According to the 2018 federal guidelines for citizen mockery, Taco bell, Wall Mart, and Olive Garden are all still grounds for mocking people.  McDonalds shaming is now off the board because they now serve salads.

@Manny Tavanpicture of the mother or I’m calling BS.  

cough..... frogspawn colony ..... cough 

You have a medical degree....and eat Taco bell?  

Does the forum have a block function? 

The prices on a lot of things have dropped by about 50%. I was selling dragon soul heads for $500-600 all day long.  Now it seems 250-300 is the going rate. 

The thing with the torches is that there are soo many out there now that look soo similar, people will just scoff at supposed  " lineage"

Oh yeah, this is my SB indo dragon soul.  (SB= styrofoam box)..

Lol 

People are too lazy to QT.  I let that mind set infect me... not once, but twice. 

Ask me about my last round of velvet that killed about $1500 in fish. 

@Micah ??

They AI primes are good for small tanks, but they definitely don't throw out much light... AT ALL.  

I am a halide guy but if I i had to go LED I would go T5 and Led combo.  Four t5 bulbs and three Ai would be pretty decent and make up for the short comings of the prime coverages.

Can I get a single head?  Get it... you said don't even ask  yuck yuck

I have a couple cool shrooms, could use a frog spawn.  I am in hockinson

Just make sure you have turbulence on the surface for oxygen and you will be just fine 

Well, i didn't publish links because they are relateively recent scientific journal articles and therefore access requires a subscription. 

Here is the abstract on the report:

It is also on science direct if you have a subscription. 

The humblefish thread has some snippets.  

I googled around about the temperature, and lots of people let there tanks get that warm in the summer and it within normal reef temperatures.  I have been at 82 for a week and have not seen any negative affects so far. 

Can't believe this didnt get any traction as a discussion point. 

Fwiw.. i have a pair of really tall jack posts if someone wants them.  The go from like 4 feet to about 7 feet. 

So I spend a bit of time here and there on hubblefishes forum and it seems that the latest guidance on fallow ich periods has changed.  It used to be 78 days but if you keep your temp constantly above 81.6 then you are good to go after 7 weeks.  

Thought i would pass that along. 

It is against the wall and perpendicular you have nothing to worry about. Inspect your joist hangers to make sure they are all nailed.  If the joists are sitting on a stem wall even better. 

You shouldn't need a plumber to hook up a redsea tank...
