  1. Last week was weird getting used to teleworking. The wife is also teleworking but her job requires privacy so I only see her on breaks and lunches. I am lucky to work some where that I can telework for at least part of my job and they are paying us whether we are doing work or not. The biggest downside for me is I was this close to pulling the trigger on my dream (for this house anyway) tank but have decided to hold off until things are better. I did pick up a couple of Reefi lights from @danlu_gt and have contented myself with setting up one over my 20 long. I feel blessed that no one I know has come down with it and hope things are going to get better sooner than later.

    You're absolutely right about the lighting, and I think everyone has had aptasia at one time or another so no worries emoji4.png

  3. So here is my entry. This tank is a 10 gallon pet-smart tank. Filtration is an Aqua-clear 30 HOB filter with a 3D printed surface skimmer box and a flow diverter.  Flow is a Hydor Koralia Nano Aquarium Circulation Pump 240. Heater is a 50w Aqueon. Light is an Hipargaro 30w light. Frag is on the right side. Only fish is a yellow tail damsel. Inverts are 3 astrea snails and an emerald crab. Other corals are xenia, green mushrooms, green nepthea leater, kryptonite candy cane, a duncan with several heads, 3 different zoanthids, purple hammer, green tip tourch, dragon soul favia, forest fire digitata, some blue polyp digitata, and bryopsis (lol). I don't dose anything, just weekly 1 gallon water change. I feed the fish Omega one fish pellets, and the corals get 2 drops of Brightwell coral amino every couple of days. Tank has been running for about 4 months now, and most of the rock and some of the corals came from a five gallon that was almost a year old. Tank is controlled by a reef-pi diy controller. This tank was my test tank and still runs on my first reef-pi.

    The heads are probably and inch across and there are 2 full size ones and a little blob I am not sure if it is a new head or a piece of flesh from the fragging. Pictures were taken on my iPhone XR, I couldn't find my coral vue lens set so I used the Fritz orange sunglasses lol.

  4. So I went and measured again as the 47 1/4 was from my memory and it looks like it will fit, but then I started thinking about pump magnets n stuff. I think I can get another 3/4 inch by removing one of the bookshelf sides (it is 2 ikea shelves side by side). While I am measuring my wife said you could always put it an an angle (it’s a corner of the living room). She is so awesome lol.

  5. Can someone with a Red Sea Reefer 425 XL confirm the width of this tank? Red Sea lists it as 47" and I have a space where I would like to put a tank that is exactly 47 1/4 inches wide. Right now I have my 46 gallon freshwater bow front there, and was in the process of taking it down to convert it to a saltwater tank and my wife says Why don't you just get a bigger saltwater tank! The Red Sea 350 and 425 are the only ones I can find that are that size. 

    Thanks in advance,

    Mike
