Sometimes I almost feel sorry for my anemone since the clowns never give it a break!

I have one. How about $30? Located in Beaverton.

Integrated circuit? They're probably talking about the printed circuit board that controls everything.

A few photos from this great tank;

Thanks for having us. Wow, what a great tank and setup you have! All the way home I was thinking about how I should set up my sump, frag tank, refugium, and plumbing for my upcoming build. I got a few ideas from your design. Great seeing everyone. Fun times as always.

I'm seeing some really nice polyp extension lately: On a related note, it's cool how similar the spines on a starfish resemble polyps on a coral:

In case you missed it, there's another thread related to frag swaps at tomorrow's meeting: http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/topic/46526-frag-swap-at-roys-house/

Wow, super clean setup! Is your sump under the cabinet or do you have a fish room?

Welcome, and I'm sure you'll enjoy the meeting. As for what to expect, you'll find a bunch of dedicated reef keepers who love to talk about the hobby, their aquarium systems, current problems they may be facing, successful things they've done, and sharing tips in general. You'll also likely find some people who brought along some frags they're looking to trade or sell on the spot, and you're welcome to bring some of your own to trade or sell. Most meetings take place at various coral/fish/aquarium stores, but some (like this one) are at club member's homes. We always provide food at the meetings, and an assortment of raffle prizes. Supporting (paid) club members get one complimentary raffle ticket at each meeting, and you can purchase additional raffle tickets if you want to increase your odds of winning. Just show up, don't be shy, introduce yourself, and soon you'll be immersed in conversations with lots of similar-minded reef keepers!

Are you building this at your old place near Lake Oswego, or at your new house? I'm no power lifter by any means, but I can lend a hand if you need it.

FYI -- This is the Santa Monica HOG.5 Hang-On-Glass UAS Upflow Algae Scrubber rated for 1/2 cube feeding per day, so it's meant for smaller systems.

I'm just slumming it with my green slimer, digi's, and birdsnest...

@pdxmonkeyboy flies toy drones or something like that...🤣

What kind of ATO are you using? Any ability to move the pump to a remote location and run tubing back to the sump? I use a Neptune ATK and use my 75 gallon RO/DI storage tank in my garage as the ATO reservoir 30 feet away from my tank.

What will be the final dimensions?

See my reply to your question on the Neptune forum for step by step instructions. After saving your configuration summary, you can delete the old EB832 module to clean up your dashboard. Unfortunately I’m in New York until Thursday, otherwise I’d loan you my spare EB832 until you can get a replacement.

Wow, that is a great concise overview. I wish I had seen this when I first started my tank. Thanks for sharing.

Have you checked the circuit breaker button on the EB832?

Looks great! I still regret using that metal Husky shelf system from Home Depot that began to buckle under the weight of the water tanks. I put "temporary" wood supports under them 2 years ago and they're still supporting it today. The next build will be done right, like yours. Yes, PVCFittingsOnline is a great resource. Glad you found what you needed.

I use Red Sea Nitrate Pro. Everything else I use Hanna and Trident.

@obrien.david.j Are your diffusers still for sale?

The white on white gallon labels are hard to see, but a simple touch-up with a permanent marker will make a big difference!

Looking good!

Wow, nice tile work, and nice aquascape! Looking forward to seeing it stocked.
