    300G Storage Tank?

    My idea for the reservoir is to add a pump and drag a hose from the garage all the way into the house to where the tank is to fill it up as the last step of the water changes. I don't think it's going to be very economical to heat the 300G water up, so hoping the tank will just deal with it. I'm...

    300G Storage Tank?

    I think the minimum delivery is 300G at a time, so I'll need a 300G reservoir. It will probably last me a long time, though I'm hoping it won't go "bad" over time, but NSW should be pretty stable. I may run a circulating pump on it just because. Yes, setting up the ELOS at some point. My house...

    300G Storage Tank?

    I am planning on taking @Kensington Reefer's advice and going with NSW for my next tank, and it sounds like I'll need to get 300G delivered at a time. I should be able to carve out space in the garage. I want something that will be 7' tall or so (not flush with the ceiling) and as low profile...

    Thinking about setting up NSW holding tank for water changes instead of mixing

    I've always been under the assumption that you need to use a salt mix immediately after mixing. I've found this to be the case in the past myself, especially with the residue after mixing and leaving for too long. I don't have to mix anything I've had strong personal experience with NSW in the...

    Thinking about setting up NSW holding tank for water changes instead of mixing

    I was reminiscing about my first reef tank, when it was thriving and full of life. Ever since that first tank, I've had a lot of issues (for various reasons). I was thinking what was the biggest change, and it was switching from NSW to an RODI with salt mix. I doubt that was the only reason why...

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    I see what you mean. I think I just haven’t had any long term success (for all sorts of reasons, including possibly me being not suitable for it) and it wears on me. Or my expectations are wrong. But you are right. I can’t just worry about all the possible issues. Thanks for the perspective.

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    I think you miss the point, or I didn't communicate it clearly. I have a dog. I have a wife. The problems aren't keeping me from them as much as the reef side of things. 1. My dog was highly reactive, I worked with her 5 hours a day, every day, for over 2 years before we made progress. This...

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    Right. I totally get what you're saying. I have a lot of hobbies I love dearly and dedicate myself to. But I don't feel like those somewhat "negatives" deter me in the long run of enjoying it, whereas in my experience with reef tanks is that it does have a lot of negatives that suck just a bit...

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    I'm getting closer to starting the home construction. Permits are almost all done, cabinets are ordered, windows are finalized and about to be ordered... that being said, I'm having second thoughts about the tank. This hobby has been fun, especially the gear/planning process, but I'm worried I'm...

    Coral Quarantine Tank Setup?

    I've had the QT "cycling" for a long time yet and haven't added any corals, mostly because I've just been focused on the house remodel and haven't had time yet to really build it out. The tank is somewhat mature now, tons of pods everywhere but really nothing other than some really beautiful...

    First new camera gear in 11+ years

    I haven't had a need to get any new camera gear for over 11 years. But I was also hungry for something that would create a whole new way to take photos. I started shooting different things, working with different clients, and doing all sorts of different shoots to see if I could find something...

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    Thanks all for the thoughts and support. I'm ready to move on from the frustration and just focus on the positives of the hobby. The home remodel is still waiting on permits to finalize (we're on the step of fire safety approval of plans), and then it should be 5-ish months before the tank will...

    Kinetic ELOS 120XL

    It's been another 2 months, and I finally gotten through to Francois at ELOS America. All the promises were lies. I will not be getting any resolution. He says he's broke, has no more money, and ELOS won't send him replacements, stands, etc. He has $25,000 tanks that people purchased that ELOS...

    LF Neptune/Apex Auto Feeder

    I have a used one. It works great, comes with an acrylic "box" that keeps floating food from draining into an overflow that I got from OceanBox Designs I believe. $20.

    Skimmer sizing

    I might have been lucky, but I didn't have to do much to my NYOS 120 to get it dialed in.

    Pairing clowns

    In my experience, clowns are pretty easy to catch with a net... especially if they're really focused on beating each other up.
