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.
Glad that you got professional engineering advice, forget what I said haha.
What are the total gallons on the tank?
What lighting are you going to use?
Did you use live rock/sand? If so then ammonia test kit is maybe crappy.
Who is your consultant?
I would suggest taking things slowly as...
Very interesting design I like it a lot. I had the same thoughts as everyone before me. I think with a six foot run on the stand to the center brace I might add some additional bracing.
When I got my clams I had T5....the MH group said that wouldn't work....switched to LED few years ago never saw a change.
I think feeding is key, phytoplankton is natural food for them. I tend to keep a "dirty" tank with lots of nutrients. My derasa has spawned a few times, which I understand...
I tried to setup AI module similar to a ATI Blue Plus as far as wavelengths go. The Blue Plus has been a go to T5 bulb for a reason as it appears to have best all around growth plus color. It took a little fiddling but the HD you can overpower the blues and purple bulbs to get that profile.
Phyl used to do photography for the club...her shots or Brian also did some great stuff. Know Phyl had a website and I think Brian did also......bet Ed could give you link.
I have one MP40 with the battery backup, for that alone it is one of a kind(unfortunately expensive). I had a GFI go and didn't have the battery backup....while replacing my fish and crying I bought the battery backup. I spoke to Will at AO and he is pushing the Sicce powerheads at the moment...
Cool little fish, the article was a bit of tease I wanted to know why they were important in energy transfer. Learned more about them having sex...which I guess is always interesting.o_O
I have a couple I at this point don't know if they are spoken for. If you posted before that you want a frag please chime in during the next couple days.
Steve you don't have too.
I think at this point they are spoken for. I got a message and there are a few longer term members who have asked too.
Unless you want Kenya Christmas Tree that I always have.
I have one piece already broken off and one more that I will for sure want to give away. So whoever can stop by to get rid of the one let me know. Others there is no rush.
OK if you are around on the weekend just let me know, if you will be up during the week I can bag a frag and you can pick up in the afternoon(I get home around 7 usually but my wife gets home 3-330 area)
