Does anyone use anyone to help with tank cleanings, plumbing issues, coral trimming, etc? I am in Monmouth county. Just found out my guy is retiring at the end of the month.
Don't plug your heater into the UPS. It will burn out battery. For all the issues you have had I bet 99% of them could have been avoided if you had an apex. Just saying.
I am going to cut the tank in half with egg crate so only have to dismantle half of it. Going to suck but is needed. Just need to figure out if I want to add the fish back after a few months time out.
Hit or miss and it gets more complex when you are adding cospecifics. Heck I have a very aggressive green chromis that is currently terrorizing every fish in my 200 gallon aquarium and have to rip the tank apart next week to get it out.
Get one of these. Can return a dc return pump or powerhead for entire day, if not longer.
