    Overheated tank

    Corals are very hardy. Especially soft corals and zoas. If you had a tank full of sps they would have all died.

    120g Into the Sea -- My First Saltwater Build

    Ok this is what I did. The tunze ATO is what I use and it’s very easy to replace the pump that it comes with. You can setup any pump you like and it will work. I wouldn’t suggest you use that 35 gallon container for ATO. In case your pumps fail or stick on or something happens. It’s better for...

    Jebao SLW-20s?

    I have two but if one dies I can use just one pump at 100 % for a long time and that will be plenty flow. Your tank should be fine with the slw- 10 but its only a $10 difference So it’s worth to go with the slw-20

    120g Into the Sea -- My First Saltwater Build

    than maybe a regular sump would be a better idea to keep it simple. I would look for used sumps since acrylic is really tough. And usually out live the hobbiest. I am patiently waiting for more updates from this thread lol

    120g Into the Sea -- My First Saltwater Build

    This is amazing !! Go dad! if you have a dedicated fish room You can’t go wrong with a rubber maid stock tank as a sump. They are tough/ cheap and a very easy way to add water volume. you can also use it to hold some of your rocks. https://images.app.goo.gl/MEdXVo414n1T3rdR8

    Any 3D Printer Fanatics - in the house

    In my opinion we will all have 3D printer at home in the future. Printer prices keep coming down. Right now they are still too expensive. I am waiting for the technology to get better and cheaper.

    Too much oversight in mixed reefs? Discuss.

    In a mixed reef you have to have different sections. I divided my tank into 3 24 x24 sections. (6ft) I have the 1st cube with high flow. I run my gyre at 100% I also have a wav in the back wall 100% I have my 360x and AP700 on 100%. This is my sps section. With low light corals in the bottom...

    Scratch or Ich?

    If you don’t have a cleaner shrimp you should get one. If you have a few tangs I would also get a cleaner wrasse. Cleaner shrimp will clean tangs and get rid of a lot of the parasites

    Where to buy fish

    Well I like reefco and aquatic obsession. I am very lucky to live between these two stores. They both date and label all the fish. Will at aquatic obsession has a little more exotic and hard to find fish. Brian at reefco is more of a coral shop that also has fish. Brian is a coral collector...

    No tanks crack. It was glass and glass cracks. You have a large glass box you can’t be surprised when it cracks or breaks that’s what glass does.

    120g Into the Sea -- My First Saltwater Build

    Most refers don’t last past one year. So I wouldn’t make any changes to a home for a hobby. Fish die corals die and having this happen in a living room can be a problem. Most people leave the hobby when they have a failure. Tanks crack and leak. Heaters fail on /off. This storm last week killed...

    120g Into the Sea -- My First Saltwater Build

    My vote is always the basement. Basement are the best for fish tanks Salt water will damage walls / floors no matter how careful you are you will always have water on the floor. Ato will fail and you will have water on the floor. Pumps die and you will have water on the floor. If it’s in the...
