So I'm reviving my IM 30 long.
Its's 36" length, 10" (working) width (theres another 6" behind that for the AIO compartments), 13" deep. Nuvo Fusion Pro 30L With Black APS Stand - Innovative Marine
Compartments: Filter media tower (floss/carbon), 2x heaters (on controllers), Skimmer, small UV...
So, I used to be a competition level archer in my youth, bout 100 years ago,
Always wanted to get into medieval stuff such as yew English longbows and the like for ages.
Taking a plunge on a few hickory staves to carve out a bow over the next few weeks, and looking into cedar shafts and...
The 10 year, no water change tank is undergoing an upgrade.
Upping it to a 90 cube and adding contents of a second tank to it.
Currently I have about 40-50 pounds of good rock in tanks, most of its been there for 5 years or longer.
I need to add another 30 pounds or so of rock saved from...
I need to find a 60g cube.
Plain old cube, like an Aqueon, or Deep Blue.
Can be reef ready or not, dont care.
Five 24" squares of glass, not acrylic, no $800 price tag, no custom design, no AIO, no starfire, blah, blah, blah
Just a 60g cube.
Any leads appreciated. Never thought it could be so...
An FYI.
Just got sucked back into this show, which I set aside for a year, and its a gem.
Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast.
So, Gottfried sets aside jokes, goes Hollywood fan-boy, and interviews TONS of folks from starts, to engineers, to composers, etc.
One guest on for 1 hour in...
So, if this is OK with the board, I'm up for having my normal July meet this year.
Normal stuff - frag raffle, possible equipment raffle, trading tables, sell your **** table, catering, etc...
Would like feedback from board and members on this and if interested, thoughts on the date - I can do...
Got sucked down a net rabbit hole a few days back looking for model paint schemes, it seems there is an actual world Nerf league.
They use modified Nerf (and similar) guns with modified darts instead of paintball guns.
I was intrigued, but the guns can literally cost hundreds.
One of the...
So, post the disaster the few pieces of SPS I tried to salvage were goners.
Restart. Going back to where I was and loved doing - zoas, softies, and, eventually, LPS.
If anyone is selling zoa frags outside the usual suspects, lemme know. Going to try to overgrow an IM30g long with em.
I'm into...
Well, this changeover has gone a bit upside down. Not to mention the tank is so bloody cloudy that I cant see what I’m doing.
So i broke up all my rock into bits with a hammer and am building a scape completely blind. Just sticking some epoxy on bits, reaching in and sticking it to another...
With tank refit I'll be running a 4 bulb T5 over an IM30 (3' long).
Tank will be zoa/paly dominant, thinking about adding a supplemental LED bar (or something) for a bit more pop.
Anyone got anything?
Yes, they’re really for gardening. :)
Were doing a bit of restructuring and, at the moment, we have a number of plants inside that aren’t close to natural light sources.
We need to buy a few lights for them. Lights which we can hang inside for now and eventually move out to a greenhouse and...
Recently picked up a discount box of RC after years of using RSCP.
With the RSCP, I was at 1/2c of salt per gallon to get 1.025-26. A 5 gallon bucket took exactly (EDIT) 2 1/2 cups.
I seem to be using much more than that with the RC, more like 3/4-1c per gallon.
Anyone have a general ratio of RC...
So, latest research on COVID is out and there’s a few easy things to do to help prevent getting it (in conjunction with masking and distancing) and a few journals are reporting successful symptom reduction.
As a doc, like reading through this stuff and keeping up to date. Read through a number...
Asking on the off chance.
I need a piece of white HDPE (cutting grade board) or UHMW (Starboard), 1/8" to 3/8" thick, 10" wide, 36" long.
Know it's a long shot but lemme know.
Thanks.
So, last week my son, 9, used his cash to buy another 2 Transformers for $60.
He just asked, a few minutes ago, if he can get another one at $40.
Me: Are you sure you want to spend all your monney on Transformers, dude? You're going to use up all your savings.
HIm: 'Yeah, I want it. I can't...
New rocks curing with Microbacter Start XLM boosted by QuikCycl.
I have removed half my ceramic media from the sump to 're-cure' with the new rock.
With each water change over next couple weeks 20% or so of the tank sand will come out as well (there's really not too much sand in the tank, maybe...
