$20. The purple gorg. 

Yes they can.  A simply 5 gallon tank for observation will allow you to see aptasia and other naked eye pests

1. I would be down for a cool gorgonian.  But at hobbiest prices....

You could use a sawzall with a metal blade as well.   

I am a HUGE fan of maxpect gyres.  And for the mega tip of the day, lightly coat ALL your plugs with silicone grease.   Not gobs of it, but just a light coating will prevent corrosion. 

That is a dope skimmer at a great price! 

I present the new leader of my tank.  Maximus Decimus Meridous...

Bummer, i wouldn't be dosing anything at this point.  Just chill on the AB for now. Now that you have a tester you can knock it down with LC.  

I have LC on a dosing pump righy now and check phos daily.  I am in a weird situation though, i need to exhaust all the phos from my rock. It was a complete yoyo until i hooked up the doser. 

"What is ultra super rare indo rainbow clam?"    No i an sorry, giant clam was the answer

Right on.  FWIW, if you want to control phosphates in the future, lanthium chloride is a much more controllably method as you can jsut measure and dose.  With GFO or phosban or whatever you are just kind of guess.   

my guess is that you have crashed your phosphates. In fact, I am willing to bet on it.  Fading colors is typically low nutrients, too much light, or both.  

I live outside of vancvouer and have a milwaukie low range photometer if you want me to test your phos.   Reef roids will raise your phos pretty quickly FWI. 

Wow, that is a great piece!!

  Reef Central is full of mostly jerks.

Huh.. maybe I should check it out? 

There is only one person man enough for that big of cleaner.  And that man is Jorge, wait, I mean me, I am that man.

is reef central even a thing anymore?

Yo trevor, you probably already know this, but a TON of lubrication also helps with continual duty P pumps. I put a metric ton of silicone lube on my tube when I installed it and every know and then "smoosh" it around so it stays on the tube.  I can't see how pushing vs pulling would matter on the pump, at first I thought that the negative pressure of pulling would last a little longer than the positive pressure of pushing... but when you are pushing on one side/ you are pulling on the other side of the pump so....

But I have read elsewhere that you do want to push into the reactor.. less likely for the reactor to run dry. 

I think what your missing is that if you buy it there it comes with a bag of aptasia and flat worms.  That is worth the extra money. 

You are not going to medicate your fish and you are planning to run copper?  

1+1=3 ? 

Orange passion is pretty scarce right now, would love to find it locally. 

  I lost my acid trip in a move.  That thing grew sooooooo slowly. Like maybe 1/4 in a year and a half.

Super nice saw, congrats! 

Fire for sure!!  Mine is sooo small right now 😞 

Fair enough.  That I would offer it up.  Cheers.

You need our very own in house top level secret agent bodyguard.  I don't know if he is still alive or not

@Sharklover

If it is course reborn I will take it

I have a sump that is 24x20x 44.....

I actually don't, but I thought it was funny that people kept throwing out sumps that won't fit.  

You might have to go custom.
