When are you going. I can follow you in the Jeep (as long as I don't have to try to get it on the Parkway) and strap the stand to the back. And, just FYI, I heard they're making new 92g corner tank curvy covers, light mounts, and special no-fall curvy glass scrapers, you should probably keep...

Never dealt with ich, so can't comment, but there is something going on in the tank affecting everything. That nem in the picture with the scraper is on its way out as far as I know (and I may know nothing). When a nem is in seriously bad shape it begins to regurgitate its innards. To me, it...

I'd lend you the Jeep happily but the bouncing and the parts falling off it at highway speed might be an offput. Do the Lowes or HD thing if you cant find anyone. Just tell them its a few local back and forth trips and they'll charge you $19 for a half day, just fill the tank on the return. That...

I picked up this... https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/smart-buddie-rodi-booster-pump-aquatic-life.html https://www.amazon.com/Aquatic-Life-Booster-Reverse-Osmosis/dp/B00OMBPNHI/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=smart+buddy+booster&qid=1599927210&sr=8-1 It is a WORLD of difference. I can fill a 30g tank...

And here's our numbers. Top number is pre-screen. Bottom number is screen in place. Now I just need to find a T5 schedule, and maybe back up a bit on lighting times.

Think I got it. As suggested I went out and bought some black fiberglass window screen. Initially I put it over the entire splash cover and PAR levels dropped considerably across the tank with the center of the tank dropping from 380 to 220 at the top rock level and from 220 to 105 at the sand...

Well, the height is part of the problem. They’re about 6” off the water but thats the size of the mounting legs. Also, any higher and I have to worry about light spillover into the rear chamber.

Cool deal folks. Mark, great idea, I’ll give it a go. Will use nylon to avoid rust I guess. Sponge, these are 36”, Ill look into sleeves as well. Thanks to all. :)

So with my current 4 bulb T5 setup, the top of my tank is sitting in about 380 PAR, the bottom around 180. Wee bit too high. If I remove 2 bulbs, the top drops to 160ish. BIt too low. If I try to run 3 bulbs, which would be perfect, no dice, the circuit on the light runs bulbs in pairs. My...

Heya Mark, Hope alls well. If 46 or 47 is still about lemme know, I'll take one.

Helping my son with his schoolwork today, about the attacks. Twice I had to stop and walk away to collect myself. My son saw I was upset, came out and gave me a hug, and I explained to him what I saw that day. I won't show him the videos just now, still don't think I can ever see them again.

The s o b insisted on giving me money for it. Last time I deal with him, hurmph.

I'm still in shock this hasn't sold. I feel like Captain Renault in Casablanca... If I had space I'd buy it and use it as a multiple nano tank display or a frag display with one of those big zoo meds on it. Is this on R2R? Letgo is big now, as is FB marketplace. Aside from a stand its just a...

Heya boss! Welcome back!

So, I’m running a 30g tank, 36” long. Tank is 12” deep. 4” above the tank is a 4 bulb T5 (36”/39w bulbs). Bulb brands are mixed now, Geissman and ATI (2 blue, 1 actinic, 1 coral plus). Two lights run from 10am to 6pm, with additional 2 kicking in from 12 to 4pm. Some of my montis are losing...

OK, now you made me go do work ;) My dKH is at 7.5, it hovers around that... And my SPS is going strong... I just try to keep the tank stable and, honestly, I hardly ever check Ca and never Mg. If I keep up with regular water changes and on the occasional check that my dKH is 7.5 +/- 0.3...

7.2 is fine, I think that’s actually pretty close to actual seawater. 10-11 is a challenge to keep in order to foster enhanced spa growth. I’m at 8 and my sps and lps grow fine. Consistency and stability are key. If you’re tank hovers at 7.2 with ease, just keep it at or around 7.2, softies will...

If it doesn't show in a week or two just tape a plastic fork to the end of a stick, put on dramatic evil music and start stabbing the sand while laugh maniacally. He'll probably stay above the sand at that point. Thats how fish learn.

Na. Mark has that corner monster he's having a time with. I'm just having fun by pointing out my daily ordeals to make him feel bad. Besides, I probably won't have time to pick it up next week as I've volunteered to help save motherless baby hedgehogs from a slaughterhouse that was planning to...

Thoughts my friend. Pain management does well if done correctly. If its back or limb pain a DO or DC can help, if its specifically low back discuss a spinal stimulator with your doc. If its general aches and pains, there's a lot of non-opoid stuff out there at the moment that's pretty potent...
