Apex seems cheap. What's wrong with it?

If you drill out the top of the downpipe you can accomodate whatever size tube (it doesn't have to be rigid, it can be normal airline). If you then take a piece of this and insert it through the hole and down into the water flow (to the sump) it should help stop the gurgling. You can actually...

We've had a few 'overshoots' the past few weeks, which isn't fair to our paid sponsors. Anything up at the moment will be left standing, but please review and follow the selling rules... https://www.njreefers.org/threads/2022-rules-for-member-sales-not-vendors.107529/

Haven't seen your tank in a while. The ship decor is pretty much overgrown. Nice.

That one of the Deep Blue tanks? Loved those things. GLWS.

Apparently it's gotten the deer's attention

Got a load of rock you're welcome to. Some may need some cleaning and curing. Probably 12-15 pounds or so. Will get a pic tomorrow if you're interested.

All depends on how complex you want to get. I used to have, and sometimes build, multichamber sumps. One chamber for intake, one for a fuge, one for dosing and heaters, one for return, blah, blah, blah Now I just use an unchambered tank. Downtube into a filter sock in holder on on side of tank...

We have all the dampeners shut upstairs and it still doesn't put out enough to cool the lower level. Yeah, we had a guy come in last year and he told us that the house is pretty big for the central unit we have, plus he told us we don't have enough ducts to adequately cover the lower level...

Here's the scoop: Our home has central air but it's terrible (bad ducting). It says cold upstairs but to keep the downstairs almost reasonable I have to run the thing 24/7 and the $400+ electric bills can't continue this year. Lining up 2 options: 1. Portable Unit to supplement the central...

Just checked on mine. 4 days on the deck, dumped in freshwater when I removed the rock and left in it for a few hours, and they’ve been frozen twice in the open air. Id bet $10 that if i throw them in a 5g bucket of ketchup they’d revive.

I just ripped my centerpiece rock out because of them. It's been on the back deck since Saturday. I'm sure if anyone puts it back in their tank they'll revive and conquer.

Welcome aboard. You should probably get a bigger tank.

If it falls through I'll take it

OK, so I'm going to pull the rock tomorrow, bring it to the back deck, submerge it, and see if there's any way to do some surgery and maintain the bulk of it. If not, I'll just trash it (unless anyone wants a rock full of palys (think they're CJs)). I need to get this done quick and with the...

Yeah. Plan was gloves and goggles out on the back deck. I like the rock and its the largest, by far, in the tank. Hoping to salvage it. Was considering a Dremel with a cutter blade to try to remove a surface layer but don't think its possible. Another option is to just break it up, but its...

I don't kalk, but I can get some. Scrape first then kalk over top?

They like ham sandwiches

So, I got this rock Big rock I like. Its nice and bacteria seedy. I ignored a few green palys on it. What could a few palys do? Now I have this... So. Plan: Remove crusties and sticks (they're being moved anyway). Remove rock. Kill Palys. That last step is the rub. How to kill? Thought...

Might be a good group buy for members local to you to cover shipping. They're stupid expensive right now in store.
