First round of clean ups.
I do have some others up for sale I'll post later.

Breaking down old tank today and there's no room in the new one for him.
He's caught and in a container and I'm not letting him out to take a pic.
So imagine a beautiful 2" six line, there it is.
I'll be home tonight after 5:30, and Thurs and Fri at 7ish.
If not gone by Saturday morning its...
Need help from someone experienced next Saturday or Sunday.
My 120 is up and I'm going to be transferring, but the colonies in my 40 are out of control.
Pay will be most excellent beer, a good eating while fragging meal, and generous frags of Radioactives, Utter Chas, Superman and red montis...
I often reach into my tanks to replace snail-plowed coral to its position, recover a scraper, place a frag exactly where I want it, etc...
Never had a problem in all the years I've been doing this.
And I've gotten lazy.
Lazy means that I slowly moved away from gloves, then away from the...
As we pull into our driveway tonight, at 7:45, our neighbor informs us there's no power.
I ask him how long the powers been out, he says 'since about 9:30 this morning.
At just after 8pm power returns.
Taking stock of damage in main tank after 11 1/2 hours without power...
Filefish didn't make...
Ordered an ORA Aquacultured Acroporia pack for $202 with free shipping and a $50 gift certificate. Plus (if registered) $14 towards next order as a member.
Figure that puts me at $138 for this frag pack, at 5 frags thats $27.60 per frag.
Worth grabbing if you can before the sale runs out...
Big thread edit. Complete re-write...
Have 2 big 'dwarf' sea hares. They're so ugly they're adorable, in a slimy monstrous way.
As most shop dwarf hares I've seen are tinyish, I picked up 2 to raise them for a bit on algae and nori, adopting one out when it got a bit larger. They arrived full...
So I have 2 downpipes, 1", in the new tank. Never had 2 before, trying to figure out what to do.
I'm confused on flow, so I ask for advice.
The return from sump to tank will be split between 1 or 2 pumps and will be supplying 2x 3/4" returns as well as 2x 1/2" seaswirls, so I'm going to have at...
Eshopps preferred (or CPR)
Its for a 40b
Wilson, I saw yours and was seriously tempted to run it with one tube, but it may be 2-3 weeks before I'm back up in that part of Jersey.
So I purchased a 36" AL hybrid light.
Tank is 24" deep.
Fixture will be about 10-12" above waterline
Tank will be mixed reef, and I'm going to start some SPS higher up.
The hybrid unit will hold 4 T5 bulbs along with 3 Hydra 26HD LEDs.
I like the blue spectrum for the zoa pop, but have no...
Apex system didn't work out, decided to put off the automation for a while, and, as such, I'm in recoup mode, looking to get what I paid for the stuff.
2 (two) 3/4" Seaswirls $40
One works fine.
The other has a broken actuator arm and can be self repaired $15, Seaswirl repaired $85, or used for...
So, in a store and encountered an electrician as I was searching for a GFI outlet.
Discussed the setup of the tank and that I wanted protection in case the outlet got wet.
He suggested that a GFI was a bad idea. If there is any type of power surge, the GFI will kick out, all fish dead.
He...

Hey folks.
With new big tank and my general laziness I’m looking to dose as cheaply and with as little equipment and effort as possible.
Initial thoughts were a doser and ESV or the Seachem 2part then I came across a post from 2012 from some guy named Red Fish Blue Fish, which led me down the...
