    Discussion on chemicals

    I was planning to set up a reactor, but was curious on what cleaning items might work in unison or nullify each other. Got me to wondering things like... Should I run Phosguard with ferric oxide? If I run carbon and ferric oxide, should I use Chemi-pure? Here's a list of a few things I have...

    Ignore the mess in the background… and this is the wrong size table… Custom tablecloth, sign, flyers, prize wheel (painted orange and blue), and monitor (for movie i’m putting together. Think we’ll be a bit better off with this show.

    Couple things…

    So I made some ‘platform’ scapes out of cut rock and I’m loving it. Each piece has 12-15 platforms for sps placement and plenty of flat spots below for shrooms and zoas, plus theres tons of floorspace as well. Also, picked up the Coralife Nano Skimmer. Dont think I’ve ever seen a skimmer...

    SALT!

    Reposting this outside the Petco thread. Petco has Instant Ocean on sale from $71 to $51 and it stacks with the 25% off. Just got 2 buckets for $81 after tax, I'm picking it up but I think it qualified for free delivery as well.

    :(

    Returned from vacation of 2 weeks. Main acro centerpiece must have been knocked over on day 1, and a chalice soon after. Tank is cloudy and a lot of dead corals. Of course, the tank I don't give a Sh17 about is thriving. /sigh

    Tell me there are no vengeful gods

    Leaving for vacation in 3 days. Haven't had a concern for anything for 3 months+. In past 24 hours, as we're prepping to leave.... Dogsitter has scheduling conflict. Return pump on main tank blows out. ATO on secondary tank blows out. Washing machine breaks, full of water, of course. Boat...

    Cooking steaks

    Per meeting discussion I mentioned that I’d post how I cook steak. So. First I snag a steak or two. These were on sale at S&S dirt cheap. Usually I go for well marbled prime cut (or at least choice). Then pull them out of packaging, drop them on a rack, and salt the heck out of them, both...

    Sunkist bounce rock, Brick

    Got a rock with 2 big and poppin SKBs and one moderate sized teenager. Let's say $100 for the rock, which seems like an average price for 1 large SKB, or make an offer. BTW, the rock is small - they secured on it as it was in a corner. Under blues for the pic (obviously). That's my thumb on the...

    WTF is with FB Marketplace? Is it now just an idiot hang out?

    So Sunday night I listed a few kayaks for sale, including a pretty much brand new Vibe Yellowfin 120 with a load of upgrades. This kayak retails at about $1,100 and I've got an additional $400 or so sunk into the upgrades. The Title of the post is: 'Vibe Yellowfin 120 (mint condition)' The...

    Curing live rock Q

    Heya all. So, I'm converting one of the tanks into a solid SPS tank, but I need to clear some stuff out and add some stuff in. One of the adds is some live rock, pretty darn clean stuff, but has been in storage for a few years. I dropped a few pieces into my working tanks, each has about 50...

    Advice please

    So I've decided to pull the majority of sand from my main display. This is done for 3 reasons: 1) I was stupid enough to get another pistol shrimp, and he likes blocking his doors with corals. 2) I can't catch the m*&^er%((&er. 3) I've actually always wanted to try a bare bottom. Plan: Do a 2g...

    The pistol shrimp wins…

    Cant catch the SoB. Going to start pulling some sand from the tank so he cant bury anything else. Plus I’d like to try a tile bottom with zoas all over.

    I just saw Star Wars, Return of the Jedi in the theater.

    Yeah, it was a good film. Not as good as Empire, but it was good. Oh, yeah, there ws this 60 piece orchestra playing live along with the film. That was sorta OK too.
