Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
merv not sure if you plan on it but i'd use krylon fusion over the PVC. for a bit more appeal. just paint 3 day cure then woOoopooOOwpacman looks cleans and nice camo
i am dealing with the noise as of right now. with that huge distraction (grey fitting) has the noise decreased from that or the changes in water flow?
i'm going to open up the hole and remove the current airline hose. no noise in my sump area so i'm pretty happy with that. need another remedy...
personally, the consumers are what produces the market which in turns stops the collectors from trying to create a "black market". if they see that consumers are extremely picky about only buying aquaculture and feel it's demeaning or won't readily buy wild caught specimens (i'm not saying it's...
lol maybe i shouldn't have suggested just frags. my thought was pulling colonies from the sea and causing a bigger disaster for coral life.
we think inverts as a small and somewhat cheap asset to our tanks that's why it'll be hard to have hobbyist worry about it. definitely think they pull up a...
;) i personally like to buy frags off of other members. good questions to think when buying: where it's caught from, how it's caught and the location etc. aquaculture vs wild
we aren't really in a position besides that to make a huge impact on what's happening in fl keys reef etc. i would...
i'll be heading into one tomorrow to check it out. hopefully i get lucky. be PITA to pay 150~ for semi picasso or grade b when i can get a decent one for 20bucks each or 40/pair
still trying to determine what's actually useful in the brightwell neozeo method. randy holmes has a lot of negativity towards it. didn't finish reading though.
nice tank. open criticism on the thought of selling plans for a stand build with sooo much information on how to build stands out there. i'm sure it is cut throat but most people will try to save as many pennies as possible with everything else they have to buy. a lot of designs and options...
is that reverse psychology? if your denying the amount of water instead of back pressure wouldn't it be fine to lessen the intake than stress the outflow? stupid hobby. a*backwards. ;D
i would keep within the vicinity of 78degrees. if your mainly concerned with controlling temp with your rk system. why are you too worried about a 1 degree drop. if you want absolute accuracy that's fine. but the livestock in which you spent HUNDREDS of dollars on will do well versus not being...
it's dependent on your flow rate of your overflow vs return. if your overflow is rated at 600gph it's going to do less than that already so est./ex 450-550gph overflow then determine your return rate mag9.5/12/18/24 how much can you sacrifice from which location to make it easier to create an...
you can stop by when i'm actually home. but right now going through an algae bloom. all over the glass and starting to go all over the sand. feeding it rods food, mb7, started my neo zeo method on day 1 of the tank so full on neozeo from the get go.
looks awesome! clean!!!!!!! i'm almost done with mine as well. your putting me to shame man. i think i should quit. ahaha.
yo merv, where do you live i definitely want to end up seeing your build if you don't mind people stopping by. i feel adventurous this summer. ROAD TRIPS.
