I was messing with some of the mechanicals this weekend and I guess I dislodged something with my drain-line bulkhead because it is now drip-drip-dripping – so far the drip is running down the drain-line and into the sump so I’m hoping no harm/no foul and since I have seen a fair amount of salt...

Make sure the tube doesn't have any mold inhibitors

I believe PetCo runs the sale twice a year and it just ran through the end of January. You'd probably need to wait 4-5 months and I think a 40b was the largest I saw but I was only in 3 stores and all in the last few days of the sale

The light in my situation is less desirable than it would seem - a lot of nuisance algae and I will likely need a chiller even if/when I make the switch to LEDs and I'm quite sure with all of the layers of "film or tint" on the glass - especially the ceiling/roof I don't know how much of the...

+1 Love the flask of popov vodka sitting underneath. Is that for you or your coral? Oh the hangovers. And love the fact that this was your new years resolution. G/L & welcome.

Thanks Jim. Very cool. I'm not quite there. I'll take what George said and blame it on our global position relative to the equator. Well that and I have a MUCH smaller algae magnet :)

just run of the mill amphipods - could be some copepods but I doubt I could see them and I've never seen/ID'd any isopods in my system...

Make shift pod condos it was touch and go with the wrasse after the surfing incident and it was slow to eat - I tried the only way I could to harvest some pods from my DT - I took them out of the filter sock - yes, a nasty duty but I dumped in 20-30 and the wrasse was all over them - that...

Food adventure I finally got around to making a batch of food. I had an idea of what I wanted to do and there are definitely things I learned from this experience. I picked up some fish this summer and the guy I bought them from made his own food. When I heard this I was excited thinking...

Just an update – here’s the new set-up compliments of the PETCO $1/gallon sale – I have a 20L as the QT and a 20H as my ATO reservoir. The only change is that I added a small Rio pump to the reservoir to keeps things moving around in there. The old 10g I used would get a ton of stuff settled on...

+1 and love the buckets... it seems to mix with some residue - well clear if I look in the mixing drum but pumping it out to the smaller buckets to carry upstairs stirs it all up - I do my WCs at night and all is crystal clear by morning though

I waited too long to edit my OP so please consider this my edit - only looking for a 9.5: I'm looking to buy a Mag 9.5 (B - with the stainless hardware) to run a skimmer I borrowed to "try" it on my system. The skimmer's an aqua c 180 so I could also use an otherwsie adequate pump for that...

I'm looking to buy a Mag 9 or 12 (B - with the stainless hardware) to run a skimmer I borrowed to "try" it on my system. The skimmer's an aqua c 180 so I could also use an otherwsie adequate pump for that skimmer - which will be in sump

Yep. Like a true addict, I want it. Guys only looking for $30 - it is missing an eye but can see fine. If I had the space I'd definitely take it in....

Thanks Paul. That looks about right. Don't think I'll be chancing that in my 90. LA says 220g min

Does anyone recognize this. Looks a little like a majestic juvi but this has a yellow tail and from what I found they have opaque tails.

Yep, I was at my first meeting and I was the poor shlub who stood right next to Xavier when his luck paid off and I walked away empty handed - well from the raffle anyway. So some people have it and some don't. I like to think I've got it on "lay-away" saving for a powerball ticket :)

Thanks Jim. It was great to get an opportunity to get to know some of the people who have been so helpful through my journey. Sadly I bucked the newbie raffle trend. I guess the reef gods knew I'd been a member for a year and decided I waited too long for my first meeting. ...bit I didn't leave...

I'd love a frag of finger leather if there's any left unspoken for... Thanks

thought Mnat said the speaker lives in Va and grew up in north jersey - OP is from down south - cherry hill - not the same person, is it?
