    Why I hate this hobby

    After multiple tanks, numerous lights, uncountable floods pre-float valve, astounding expenses eating up tax refunds and Christmas bonuses, points where my blood pressure was registered as a blip by NASA satellites, chunks of hair pulled out during chemical investigations, time and effort of...

    Water cooled LED fixture

    Very nice. I said it before and I'll say it again - if it ever comes down to my testimony I'll have to say, 'I don't know, your Honor, but he sure is clever...very clever'.

    BM Nac6

    Curious on how this compares to a reef octo 110. I've been looking to upgrade over the past few weeks. I moved from 80g total volume to 115 total volume mixed reef with medium stocking (looking to expand slightly) and I know I need an upgrade soon. If the BM is more efficient (hard to find net...

    Juano's 75 Gallons "The Re-Build"

    Juan, Had a bad bryopsis outbreak last year. Did the whole manual cleaning and it came back. Basically I did the same as you've done of manually cleaning all the rock (dipping and spraying with hydrogen peroxide, heavily, when possible), did a vacuum of the upper sand layers, ran GFO, vodka...

    The 210 tank build

    Beautiful tank guys! I was stunned last year when I saw your tank in person. Seems to be going uphill from there. I'm the same on the SPS, my softies and LPS are out of control, but any SPS tends to struggle - going to focus on Alk parameters over next few weeks. Good luck and thanks for...

    Tank birthday and I'm a Geezer

I work in the health business so I told my boss I was off to the ER as I thought I was having a heart attack. He...
