I actually prefer top down views of corals compared to the traditional side view. dream tank is a shallow 70x36x20. one day.

if you fill the regular rack up with zoas, it will just grow on it and take over. will pretty much hide it naturally. might be too much of an effort to make it look natural. if i were to do the project, i would do it with eggcrate since you can maximize amount of holes when covering it with...

pm me bro, let me know what you have for trade.

I'm pretty sure as well. Amazon and eBay has a ton of membranes available, I usually stick with Filmtec DOW membranes but am using one of the "cheaper" ones on a secondary membrane I use with the waste water from the first, seeing how well they hold up. I will still stick with Filmtec ones...

I was able to grab Gen 3 Pros, 5x XR15s and 1 XR30 for less than $1000. there are deals to be had out there if one is patient and willing to look.

will trade for coral.

ready to gobble up a unsuspecting fish. lol

yeah, people kept asking for photos and if I had other corals I was giving away. no one actually really wanted it so trash it went. I like having a few softies in the tank since they take in some po4 but I needed the space in the frag tank.

ahh, wish you asked. had a huge piece which went into the trash.

if you feel like you're gonna regret it, why not just get the DOS? also, buy new unless the deal is really good but then you'll also have to take the seller's word for it. DOS aren't the most durable dosers, biggest appeal is the cohesion with the neptune controller.

I am in the LED camp as well but I myself run a hybrid set up on my main tank, 2 x XR15s, XR30 and AquaticLife 36" and 3 x XR15s with diffusors on my frag tank . Old technology doesn't necessarily mean its obsolete or it's "bad" and everything is always a case by case basis. T5s and Halides may...

check this thread out, https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/the-modified-black-box-thread.283942/ all blackboxs are all similar and you can usually find any 3w epistar LEDs off eBay. I suggest this is the time to buy LEDs that can blend a better spectrum compared to the stock.

I'd recommend 2 AI PrimesHD, you can usually find last gen used ones for sale that are pretty good. this will set you up for fish, lps and softies. you can add 2 more down the road and you can support SPS.

this is pretty cool, i will probably send in a sample of my frag tank in and my display.

more or less the t5 bulbs will be driven with there max output that they are designed for. the issue with the cheaper fixtures is the type of ballast they use, instant start or programmed start. instant start ballast have a reputation of shocking the bulbs which lead to a shorter life span...

see what those cuc additions do to the algae. I would just clean the glass during this time. if the algae gets out of control do some manual cleaning but see how the cuc handles it first l.

add all those things and wait it out for 2 weeks and see where your at. water changes is such a waste if you have nothing going on in there.

mostly just repeated want @DangerDave and @Mrx7899x said with a little more details? I think it just got lost with the talk of light intensity. zoa's don't need that much par and an easy way to recognize that is if the bases are stretching out. if they are not and the zoas are open, they are...

Just seeing this... so let me add my 2 cents since I ran the very same tank and currently running an IM 30 Ext, which is in the same size bracket. First off, your tank is going through the ugly phase even if you think you passed it, well you’re learning that any type of imbalance that occurs...

ill get them to you sometime this week. I have a small potter overgrowing with babies that I'd like to sell because I have no space for it.
