I have learned not to trust anything. I have two refractor meter that I can check my salinity. I also use the Hanna checker to confirm my numbers. Calibrate both when I do large water changes. I use the apex salinity as a guide. I test alk by Hanna checker and I also use the trident. I have...

Last night I got an apex alert that one of my return pump stop running. Sure enough I have two simplicity 3200 pumps running my system. One of the return pump failed. When I build the system I wanted to make sure I had some layers of protection. I have wav makers and heaters in each tank. I...

Why even bother testing mag. In my tanks mag is almost always the same range. I would focus on alk and make sure that number is good. I have never dosed magnesium. I add magnesium with just water changes. If your alk is within range your magnesium should also be in range. I have a trident that...

My sump is a 100 gallon it’s very strong acrylic.it’s 4ft x24 and it’s 24 tall I want 5ft or 6ft. I am thinking about just getting a custom sump from the same people I got my frag tank from. That way I can get everything I want. My sump is too large to fit in your cabinet

I would calibrate the trident. I would also check with a Hanna. Use reef crystals instead of io it’s more consistent. I wouldn’t trust trident. trust but verify !!

TSM aquatics is shutting down. They are selling all their tanks and sump I also need a large sump

GFO is not magic. But it does work be careful with it but keep using it. GFO will get rid of it with time. You need to change what’s causing it. maybe your feeding too much. With time it will clear on its own. how old is the tank ?

that’s not true. Edison is very larger and I am less than 3 miles from aquatic obsession and ocean gallery reefco is 5 miles from my house. So all these store are close to Edison

The thing with pods is to get as many different pods from different sources. We got pods from an online vendor and the pods looked like sea horses they were huge. It was also cheap. I have gotten some from reef cleaners and it also came in a huge bag. I pick up the set from algea barn at the...

I was a big fan of reef cleaner. But now I have to agree his animas are not the same quality. They snails are tiny and my last order I got a lot of dead inverts

This is a great thread. Good luck with the build. I think the zoo med frag tanks for around $130 are a great frag tank.

Hey thanks again. It was nice meeting you

I am interested in the two of the ink bird controller and the brs heater Bundle of 2 BRS Titanium Heater Elements, 100w each. Used for about 3 months. $40 for both. Four Inkbird temperature controllers available: #1: Model ITC-306A, two probes and built-in wifi, used about 3 months. $25 #3...

Get a cheap dremel from Amazon and use that.

Thank you so much

My vote is also for jebao. I use the gyre type on most of my tanks and I am very happy. I also use the slw lime on smaller tanks

What are you going to frag it with ?

I am interested in the tang. I am sure I can place him in one of my tanks.

Urchin don’t like change. Are you sure it was dead. I have had urchins drop all the pins and they don’t move and a few days later the urchin regrew all the pims，

I didn’t go this year. I think it’s the best coral show around. Prices are amazing and you have more vendors than any other coral show
