    Question about hanging Hybrid light

    Yeah I’m gonna see if I can do it with anchors to keep it “clean” if I hook everything up and lift the fixture and it feels like it might be too much then I will do something with wood on top. I am currently using this anchor for my AP700.

    Question about hanging Hybrid light

    So I just ordered the 48” aquatic life hybrid light to go with a Kessil Ap700 and 2 hydra 26’s. I plan on hanging from the ceiling. How heavy is the fixture and should I reinforce ceiling with plywood to hang everything or will good sheet rock anchors hold everything up? Unfortunately my joists...

    Apex?

    Personally I was I the same boat you were in when I was contemplating the Apex. I ended up choosing the El for the main reason I don’t monitor orp and my salinity is stable and shouldn’t change much. I do periodically check with the Hanna salinity pen but it wasn’t worth the extra money for...

    Bummer with Phyto culture

    So I went into my fridge to grab my phyto to dose and when I opened it up for the first time it smelled like rotten eggs unlike the other one that smelled like algae.

    Anyone know what’s going on at Toms River Petco?

    Gotcha, that’s a good idea. Last time I was in there the tanks were covered in every type of algae known to saltwater as well as dead fish. I hope they take better care of the new system.

    Anyone know what’s going on at Toms River Petco?

    My buddy just sent me a picture of Toms River Petco. Everything by the tanks is taken down. They look like they are doing demolition. Could they be remodeling like Brick or my guess is scrapping the saltwater section since it never looked any good

    Anemone Blues (or reds in my case)

    Question about clowns and their anemones? I have a small bubble tip that my clown hosts. Clown actually larger than anemone. My question is will they defend their host from coral encroachment. I put a forest fire digi near the anemone and my clown went nuts. She started to attack the digi. She...

    I HATE USPS!

    So now I find out they denied my insurance claim for reimbursement that I paid extra for after they screwed up delivery! Go figure. Patiently waiting for the letter they are sending for their reason. Should be interesting.

    Fish from a Kiosk

    Fish from a Kiosk

    Site has some nice fish but most are out of stock right now. Bummer. It’s so hard to find a Foxface right now. My buddy has an order with sea dwelling creatures for a Foxface and a flame angel for me but need a to wait until he needs more fish since shipping is so much.

    Help ID algae and worm

    How old is your tank? Hard to tell with algae. Does it have bubbles on the end and what color is it? Best bet of identifying is through a microscope to be positive. Worm no clue could be a baby bristleworm
