Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Most HOB filters, and I'm thinking along the lines of Aqueons and such usually used for freshwater, are simple chemical reactors (carbon and a nitrogen absorbing compound) with mechanical filtration (sponge or filter pad). I've used to use a HOB when I ran a quarantine for a short while. I just...
Welcome aboard.
I was very happy with my flip phone, even happier on the odd chance I got a phone call and people would look at me like I was a neanderthal as I pulled it out of my pocket.
Last year it died and it was nearly impossible to find a flip phone so I bought my first 'smart phone'. It...
So, as I sit here waiting for my RODI for a water change, drinking quality bourbon (Knob Creek Small Batch) out of a small plastic cup (which I had in hand as I was doing fish stuff), I decided to share my holiday decor.
I hate holiday decor. I love the season. I hate the work.
So! Being an...
I can see that. As the screws are the only exposed piece they could have gone brass for a few cents more. It really wouldn't have been that much of a difference in manufacturing cost.
So, I've had a few acrylic holders that never really did me any good as they had to be mounted with screws for the most part and many never fit on my tank (or rim) properly.
Recently added a Vertex Holder to an order from a retailer. It cost me $20 which I thought was a bit for a 3 line holder...
Been about 7 weeks, things are settling in. Dropping a few pics...
For the most part, all going well with the exception of some of the SPS. I'm guessing I may be bleaching the out with the new lighting, so going to play about with that over the next few weeks.
I was running a shallow 60 with low rock work and the gyre did a pretty good job. When I moved to a 90 with higher rockwork it moved water but I had a number of dead spots with singular flow away from the gyre in the top of the tank and towards the gyre lower. In the end I placed the gyre high...
Just heard from bro-in-law. If you have an iphone or ipad, Amazon is pushing their app. Load it up, ensure you can sign in, and allow notifications. They're doing a mobile app deal at some point tomorrow. $150 for a 55" HD LED TV (brand not released yet). Even if its an older model thats a hell...
Get rid of the greens. It's overkill. I built to the exact same plan for a 4'x8' and it ended up weighing a ton more than it had to.
You might be able to ditch half the purples as well. Hopefully someone in the know will drop in on this thread, I know there's a carpenter or two or thee but...
PART 2
The big day
So, here's all you need to do. Fill your chosen container with the appropriate amount of prepared water and follow the instructions, provided by whomever you purchased your culture from, to add the culture to your container.
Cap container, run rigid airline into it (through...
