Get the AquaSmart ATO nano.. I use it on my tank and my brother uses it on his 65 works like a dream and is 130. I would avoid marine orbit.

This actually made my morning Wilson... so thank you hahahahahhaha I am cracking up

I will be doing the same... but shhh don't say it because the police will show up. If I notice he's stressed or too big I will return him & or put him in my brothers bigger tank unless a bigger tank is around the corner.

I have an actual LED man cave sign down there. :( I'll document some progress on the cave as we re-build as well.. But yeah always looking for improvements. My new take is I will start the 30 gallon cure my rock get some fish & corals and than look into a bigger tank. My goal is to have a...

Small update I managed to get in!! With my entire basement being opened up due to the floods and my water main being down there i am installing a 1/2 pex direct from where it comes into the house to avoid all the old copper in my house! Hopefully I cut 75 TDS

To make matters worse.. My doctor appointment this morning resulted in me having to get my tonsils removed next Wednesday. :(

We have a 3 stage tap water filter for our instant hot water & drinking water and the plastic 1/4 threaded elbow under the sink sheared off and ran while we were sleeping for 4 plus hours. Soaked my entire finished wood kitchen floor and seeped into the basement.

Here are the pictures of my basement flooding as of 4/1/19.. :( I know I have some time before my rock cures hence why i've been looking for a larger tank! Hopefully an SR-80 comes out of no where. I would need to rebuild my stand and sell this current setup but I want a bigger tank I think..

Looking like somewhere I could live :) Nicely done - can't wait to see powdered blues in there

I will post pictures in my update thread :( - sad stuff... Just hoping at this point I can get a good SR-80 for cheap

With my entire basement flooding and requiring a load of work I am looking to forgo my 30 long and already upgrade to the SR-80 AIO.... if anyone has one in NJ i'd be willing to take if off your hands... for the right price of course.

That is what I am saying, i've seen gobbies dig some extensive tunnels and that would stop them from doing it... so I am going to opt against it.

I like this idea but makes me nervous for gobbies trying to dig sand. What if they chomp on some plastic?

You give me confidence with not curing it so extensively. I will be adding to tank right away! A quick clean off for any visible debris.

That's my plan I only have about 1" to 1-1/4" of sand than I'll slightly push the rock in

Noted! Thank you for the advise. If it comes relatively clean I will avoid this all together. If it comes in super dirty looking I will probably opt to do a full bath.

I can't tell if there is joking here :)

Maybe I'll vinegar bathe it for a bit. After my last fail I'm eager to get it going ! Don't get rock till Wednesday and I'm itching already ! I want all my plans laid out in advance

I will be avoiding the muriatic acid bath at all costs. I just don't want the headache of the fumes or destroying anything !

Did you put sand in or rock in first.. I am reading / hearing that there is a huge debate on what is supposed to go in first. Since my tank is 30 long I won't be able to stack rock so I don't fear that a fish will be able to undermine the rock to the point of being catastrophic. My real...
