So I just ordered the 48” aquatic life hybrid light to go with a Kessil Ap700 and 2 hydra 26’s. I plan on hanging from the ceiling. How heavy is the fixture and should I reinforce ceiling with plywood to hang everything or will good sheet rock anchors hold everything up? Unfortunately my joists...

I think I read on another forum Dr Randy Holmes Farley runs his salinity probe upside down to prevent the bubble issue that affects the readings.

Personally I was I the same boat you were in when I was contemplating the Apex. I ended up choosing the El for the main reason I don’t monitor orp and my salinity is stable and shouldn’t change much. I do periodically check with the Hanna salinity pen but it wasn’t worth the extra money for...

So I went into my fridge to grab my phyto to dose and when I opened it up for the first time it smelled like rotten eggs unlike the other one that smelled like algae. So unfortunately the entire culture is no good. Can I still feed this culture or should I chuck it. I have 2 cultures of Mercer...

Gotcha, that’s a good idea. Last time I was in there the tanks were covered in every type of algae known to saltwater as well as dead fish. I hope they take better care of the new system.

My buddy just sent me a picture of Toms River Petco. Everything by the tanks is taken down. They look like they are doing demolition. Could they be remodeling like Brick or my guess is scrapping the saltwater section since it never looked any good

Question about clowns and their anemones? I have a small bubble tip that my clown hosts. Clown actually larger than anemone. My question is will they defend their host from coral encroachment. I put a forest fire digi near the anemone and my clown went nuts. She started to attack the digi. She...

So now I find out they denied my insurance claim for reimbursement that I paid extra for after they screwed up delivery! Go figure. Patiently waiting for the letter they are sending for their reason. Should be interesting.

He owns a shop that builds custom tanks and just orders the fish for his clients. I usually get in on that when he orders from California.

Site has some nice fish but most are out of stock right now. Bummer. It’s so hard to find a Foxface right now. My buddy has an order with sea dwelling creatures for a Foxface and a flame angel for me but need a to wait until he needs more fish since shipping is so much.

Oh man they are all beautiful! Love the first one then again I love all of em

How old is your tank? Hard to tell with algae. Does it have bubbles on the end and what color is it? Best bet of identifying is through a microscope to be positive. Worm no clue could be a baby bristleworm

I checked this guy before putting him in. Bought from Petco. I must say he did 1 he’ll of a job

Yes I am gonna see what it will do for me. Believe it or not I have been dosing phyto every night and scrubbing rocks, keeping phosphates amd nitrates up and today there wasn’t really any “snot” on my rocks this has been ongoing for a couple weeks. I know I did not win yet. I see many plumb...

Yes you are right. That diagram needs some tweaking. I raised my pump to see if my manifold can handle. I was able to get 248 gph which should be enough. I think I’m gonna dump it back into the return section instead. If I see a noticeable difference then I may plumb back into display. The way...

Or get an emerald crab he cleaned out all my bubble algae from my 32 gallon tank

Oh man very nice I love acans. Where are you located?

Forgive me for my poor artist rendering but I will try to explain. What I plan on doing is running a Uv off of my return pump. I am going to install on 1/2 pvc line on manifold that has a flow meter from there it will flow through the Uv light and back into a T on the main return line sending...

I may take you up on that offer for the urchin as long as it’s not a long spine urchin.
