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.
Thanks all for the great advice.
I'll stock up on filter socks to swap during changeover and pick up a bottle of bacteria as well.
Agree on the sand and that was my worry. Wondering if I put snad in a container inside the larger cycling tank, if I could cycle sand at the same time?
So I ordered some flat rock from a guy in Fla and I love the stuff.
Love it so much so that I'd like to remove my current scape and replace it with a new build consisting 80% or better of this new rock.
The fish will be temp moved to a holding tank on the day of action.
If anyone has done this...
Had a pop-up mini meet last Sat when mnat and Niki stopped by and Hockeynut just happened by to pick stuff up.
Roca,
Beautiful piece, if I had space, I'd be tempted. GLWS :)
This has been a lesson to me.
I'm planning to sell some frags this week.
Was going to put them in the watertight specimen bottles, then a waterproof bag, then in a box with peanuts and packing.
Now I know I can just send them in an envelope and save myself the trouble.
It never caught me until I read the books last year, which, after the first one, I was an addict.
Only bad thing was I had developed the characters in my head and seeing them on screen was different than I expected, except the guy who plays Amos, he was well beyond my imagination and is...
WIth bigger tanks I went with filter socks. Just grabbed 10-12 from Amazon.
When they got dirty enough to start to overfill I'd replace and throw the dirty one in a bucket of water with a cup of bleach in it to start cleaning and prevent any pathogen buildup.
When I was down to 2 clean socks Id...
NIce update. Tank looks great. I'm in a 30g atm and battling the red slime and gha, no different than the larger tanks, just a heck of a lot easier to do a 20% water change.
Panamic Barnacle Blennies, where did you find them? I've been looking for about 6 months now and zippo on the luck.
Per...
Great unit. I use it with the booster and it's a solid RODI.
I actually went to a 5 stage canister then went back to this for ease of use and minimal space requirement.
Great deal.
Dropped you a text :)

Good luck with the tank. Looks great so far, beautiful tank and great size.
To be honest, with something that small a protein skimmer is un-needed and extreme overkill if you're doing a few gallons of water change a week (which you should).
Also note that if you want to do softies, palys...

I've run cultures occasionally but always hated the separation of worms from media.
Also never had them refrigerated and the fly larva would eventually get a bit crazy.
This post has me interested in starting cultures again.
Whats with the screening and the plexi?
I'm gathering that...
I adjust my clown population constantly due to aggression and behavior issues.
Two have been returned for credit and one is in Madreefer's tank.
Swearing not to buy any more, I saw two phenomenal black storms, and they're in my tank.
One is off to another club member shortly.
Clowns are cool...
