An update. I'm used to alarms telling me something is amiss. This system is in a 30g and has no alarms, so, when I left in the morning hearing a whirring noise, I assumed the pump was filling the tank. 9 hours later, when I came home, the whirring was still going on. Seems the ATO bucket was...

Phyto... I grew the stuff like mad for a while. The two easiest strains are nanochloropsis and tetraselmis, of which, i found nanochloropsis to be a bit more prolific. The tetra cultures were a hit or miss day by day, but I think I could have peed in the nano bucket and scraped dinner plates...

Tank looks fantastic, love that stand. Cozy room, fishtank, computer, big screen, secret entrance, no kids visible...its sorta like paradise. Also, watched the ATO vid. I just picked up an Avast pressurse sensitive ATO system with a diaphragm pump that can push water across a football field and...

Same here, got a rainbow on the verge of splitting. If you can use it, lemme know.

Once I get you addicted it goes to $39.99 a pound.

So many new folks and I've been lazy. Welcome aboard everyone!

Heya Mike, Welcome back. I've got loads of cycled rock (probably 100#) in the shed. Make an offer, pencil me down for a future frag, or take it. Not sure where you are, I'm in Brick

Thanks guys. 2 on the way.

Thanks guys! In a 36" 30g thats 12" tall and 12" wide, you think they'd be too much if dialed in low? Other options are the SLW10s which operate at about half the power, or 2x Hygger Mini Wave makers.

Well, my Tunze finally dies in my 30g after 4+ years of use (and a week after I purchased a night controller cable for it for $40, figures). In looking for a low profile, quiet, effective, non-ridiculous priced, nano water mover I found a few options. I'm leaning towards 2 of the Jebao SLW-20s...

Yep. Try to rig it so the pods are multiplying in the section just after the socks/floss. Fill it with lots of rubble, marine pure, or build a fuge. Ideally this section will also be after the skimmer if possible, as some will be pulled in, but if that can't be managed you should still be OK...

Sorry, Hydras are all gone. Updated from my phone but doesn't look like it worked.

Not what I'm asking. Note I mentioned the tank in question has had no water change in 2 years and the Xenia, polyps, and zoas are doing great but can not grow SPS. My other tank, well tended, grows SPS and LPS fine, but can not grow softies. Where is the line for a mixed reef with both SPS and...

So. After keeping successful mixed reefs for years, things have taken a bit of a swing for the odd. I had a 90g and a 120g filled with SPS, LPS, and softies, all growing like weeds. Now... Tank one: Size: 30g Ca: 470 Alk: 7.8 FIlter: Mechanical fiber floss, 20lb+ live rock, Marinepure Water...

Well, I stopped by today and picked up a frag pack from R777. Same old story. He staggered out in his underwear and a dirty bathrobe, smelling of terrible things, and tried to pass off a few twigs from the garden in plastic cups full of dirty water. When I called him out, he pulled a knife...

Thanks folks, appreciate the feedback.

I won a frag with 2 Golden Dragon shrooms on it last year at one of the meets (remember those?). I now have about 50 and some are beginning to bounce, huzzah! I'll probably end up selling a load of these as, as beautiful as they are, the tank their in seems to be a major growing zone for them...
