Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
It never caught me until I read the books last year, which, after the first one, I was an addict.
Only bad thing was I had developed the characters in my head and seeing them on screen was different than I expected, except the guy who plays Amos, he was well beyond my imagination and is...
WIth bigger tanks I went with filter socks. Just grabbed 10-12 from Amazon.
When they got dirty enough to start to overfill I'd replace and throw the dirty one in a bucket of water with a cup of bleach in it to start cleaning and prevent any pathogen buildup.
When I was down to 2 clean socks Id...
NIce update. Tank looks great. I'm in a 30g atm and battling the red slime and gha, no different than the larger tanks, just a heck of a lot easier to do a 20% water change.
Panamic Barnacle Blennies, where did you find them? I've been looking for about 6 months now and zippo on the luck.
Per...
Great unit. I use it with the booster and it's a solid RODI.
I actually went to a 5 stage canister then went back to this for ease of use and minimal space requirement.
Great deal.
Dropped you a text :)

Good luck with the tank. Looks great so far, beautiful tank and great size.
To be honest, with something that small a protein skimmer is un-needed and extreme overkill if you're doing a few gallons of water change a week (which you should).
Also note that if you want to do softies, palys...

I've run cultures occasionally but always hated the separation of worms from media.
Also never had them refrigerated and the fly larva would eventually get a bit crazy.
This post has me interested in starting cultures again.
Whats with the screening and the plexi?
I'm gathering that...
I adjust my clown population constantly due to aggression and behavior issues.
Two have been returned for credit and one is in Madreefer's tank.
Swearing not to buy any more, I saw two phenomenal black storms, and they're in my tank.
One is off to another club member shortly.
Clowns are cool...
I have an old Maxspect Razor that Ive got over a 20 long atm.
It covers the mid 2/3 of the tank.
If you need it I can do without it for a month, its just covering some green growth in a winter tank filled with pond goldfish and carpish things (amateurs).
You're not going to get SPS growth, but...
Wow. No means to hijack but have to thank Paul for the pic.
That's the exact layout of my home system minus the split and DI in step 16.
Never gave it too much thought but now may be modifying the house system (but instead of a T near 16 might drop in a flow restrictor between 16 and 17, or both).
