So this is just my 2cents. I know it’s easier to find one buyer to buy everything but reality is that most of the people on this site 99% already have a tank. So they are not interested in a whole system sale. So selling live stock 1st coral/fish. Then selling everything separate you will have...

don’t worry to much about your rock work. I think people take too much time on how their rocks looks. if you do things right you shouldn't be able to see the rocks. The corals will cover everything. i am always moving things around So I don’t even bother to glue it anymore lol

ikea is your best bet. You can get one cheap.

I run 3 I have the BRS 7 stage. you don’t need it. Zero tds is zero so you are not going to get better. Public water in nj is not bad compare to other states. My TDS is 150 from the tap. It drops to 3-6 before the 1st di after that it’s 0 your tank looks like trash because of something else.

Carpet anemone are really good at eating fish. So you can’t have small fish. real estate in a reef tank is really important and those anemone grow big

So you want to use rocks that come from the ocean or dry rock ocean rock. That rock was made to live in salt water. So it buffers the ph up. I use to use lava rocks for a koi pond as a filter rock to grow algae (moss)and bacteria. I wouldn’t put it in any tank. Fresh or salt. You have to keep...

yeah thanks I thought I need to replace the tank

If you spend a little more and get the wi-fi Ones that’s even better. but for $10 you can have something alert you if water spills

I am using the apex water detection pads. They are a life saver and just saved my butt. if you don’t have an apex you can get one of these and install them in your home. Govee Water Alarm, 100dB Loud Alarm Audio Water Sensor with Low Battery Alert, Easy to Use Wireless Water Leak Detector...

Yeah it’s always a good idea to have spare plumbing parts.

yeah it was a easy fix this time lol

Yeah thank god. I have to say the glass on the zoomed frag tank is very fragile. The glass is paper thin. it works for my application but I don’t think I would trust it in a living room.

Ok so I woke up this morning ready to do some work on the tank. i was able to fix the leaky bulkhead. I filled the tank back up and added it to the system. Let’s see if it continues to leak. hopefully this will take care of the problem.

Lava rocks are good for fresh water not salt water. For salt water you just need to use rock from the ocean to hold bacteria. You could also use dry rock/base rock and that will grow bacteria. bio ball the blue plastics are also not good for salt water they become nitrate factory. you can buy...

T that looks really clean. Good job

I am not 100% sure yet. Let’s see if it continues to leak. I will check later. I have to move that tank anyways. I think the tank is fine. I just need to move it to another location and add a overflow. instead of the bulkhead that I am using. this is why I always put tanks in basement. It...

After I looked more into it. I believe I found the culprit. The bulk head on the zoo med frag tank. I cut the return into the tank And drained the water. Let’s see if the water stops leaking. If it does then I will remove this tank and replace it with a different frag tank.

Looks like it’s leaking from the bulk head of the zoo med frag tank. I will remove that frag tank and see what I. Can do

It’s a small hair line leak. I don’t really want to mess with this today. so I might just put a bucket and deal with it tomorrow. I am not sure yet. I can’t confirm where the water is coming from. I just tape some napkins to the PVC to see if I can find the leak

So I woke up this morning and I have a small leak. I don’t know if it’s coming from frag tank or plumbing. Pictures to come.
