Just wanted to pass this along as a way to support the effort of coral conservation and a way to be part of the movement.

https://coralbiobank.org/

Had to look but all my standard braced aquariums the black brace on the bottom holds the glass up, they all rest on their brace.

Thats a very important parameter I negleted to post its 35ppm i always mix to 35ppm I use a refactometer and I check calibration everytime I use it ive read to many horror stories about them not to. And I dry mix the salt as well before mixing with ro water

Okay so just for the sake of getting it out there im using bags of fritz rpm and I do a biweekly water change of 30% no skimmer

Just thought I would share my params 

Okay I was wondering if people just make their own I have a decent chunk of 1/4 acrylic that I can put holes in and make a rack out of thanks for the info.

Ill soon be in the market for some frag racks and was wondering what everyone uses?

I was just looking at the tort frags last night! If you have frags left by next week ill pick one up!

How are you guys removing the frags from the plugs with a scalpel or razer blade?

I was curious. I havent mounted any coral yet because I wanted to know the par numbers before I mounted them. I think im going to use super glue to hold them in place what do you guys use?

Im curious how many people remove/break their frag plugs before final placement of their corals

Can I also get on a list if such a thing exists!

Okay ! Awesome ill call before coming in.

Yep first picture by far

Man wish I wasn't working right now I have no way to get them

The mandarin would come after I have an established pod culture. Also I have a 75 ready to go just need to do plumbing.

I have a 20g H that ive turned into a AIO and I was curious if im getting over zealous on the stocking list. Currently have a pair of ocellaris clown and a firefish goby(standard red) I have quite a bit of rock in the tank not a lot of room for free swimming fish. But im wanting to add more fish and my want list is

Rainfords goby

Mandarin gony (preferably a biota captive)

Blackcap basslet or royal gramma what ever comes first. 

My thought is I can definitely add 1 more fish but was wondering if I could get away with another 

I guess what im asking is if i could combine any combination of these 3 together with out agression.

I looked around and a few posts say you should be ok with 5 days if its a healthy tang but is highly suggested to get an auto feeder.

I Forgot to mention that all the tarantulas come with complete setups. The golden blue leg sling will come with an extra enclosure as well.

375 for the whole lot.

*STOCK IMAGES*

My camera is broken currently so im using stock images until I can produce them.

again these are stock images. Not the actual tarantulas but a representation of them.

Got any more updates ?

Theres a couple pre assembled kits on that website that use just a single led star on there as well but they can be pricey around 60 bucks. But they are small https://www.ledsupply.com/led-kits

Is it a pnw custom tank? Ive been looking at those!

Its doable but. It just takes some research. And depends on what your needs are such as do you want individual channel control? How many leds are you trying to fit in this. The diy route quickly gets out of hand but it really seems like its an enjoyable path. What are you trying to light?

Ive looked into it multiple times. Ive used this site before https://www.ledsupply.com

Ive been planned on making my own bars and even making a puck but where it gets difficult is finding a PCB that matches your need with out paying for custom boards

Okay was curious to see most people seem to use a combo of hannah and salifert or hannah and redsea.
