    300G in-wall reef tank rebuild

    I'm considering doing an in-garage sump in my new house, how have you found the humidity in the garage? Do you have to do any venting to avoid corrosion to items in the garage or heat in the summer?

    Tanks and misc equipment in SF

    I think it is safe to say the tanks for sure are claimed. I'll try to get back to folks in the order I received IMs, but Apon might take the whole lot and hopefully distribute out if needed.

    Tanks and misc equipment in SF

    We're moving out of town and I have a couple old tanks (IM Peninsula 20g and Waterbox 15g cube) and unused duplicate 50 tall corner drilled tank (36x15x22). I also have a few boxes of extra gear (pumps, lights, accessories) that are also up for grabs. The only condition is that you need to...

    Neptune Trident

    Looks like you need to calibrate your salinity probe [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Neptune Trident

    Yes I mistyped. I meant precision not accuracy. I've never seen published accuracy numbers for it, but I imagine with the calibration solution you'd be talking no more than .5 dKH. But that's be something to verify with a manual test which you trusted the accuracy on. Ultimately though with...

    Neptune Trident

    I'd also add that my points ignored the actual value around the precision that the Trident (with the frequent tests) offers. I don't know if any test out there that can offer .05 dKH precision (especially with a human involved and a hobby-grade test kit). Now how much you value that precision...

    Neptune Trident

    The justifications they've given are mostly about maintaining high precision of all the tests. As for the value in testing Ca and Mg multiple times, the main benefit touted has been catching dosing "mistakes" quickly. Honestly I think that is the silver lining on the fact that they need to do...

    Need help with ID

    Hard to tell for sure from the pics, but they could be pineapple sponges. How long has your tank been up? This article might help if they are sponges. http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2005-07/rs/

    GUnit's Nano Of Last Resort

    Thanks guys! Ender, appreciate the offer, but I think after my frags from WWC live sale come in combined with my Battlecorals order this little cube is going to be packed to the gills (no pun intended).

    GUnit's Nano Of Last Resort

    Because I almost decided to breakdown and sell everything. Couldn't do it since I've grown quite attached to my fishes (and still love coral which I think is obvious from the number of pieces in my tank :P)

    GUnit's Nano Of Last Resort

    It's been awhile since I last posted, but I wanted to give keeping a tank journal a try again. I broke down my 60G Mixed Media build awhile ago after struggling a bit with algae problems and a hood that I couldn't get good circulation in. Instead of giving up completely I decide that I wanted to...

    Red Sea Reefer

    I just downgraded my larger 60g to the Reefer Nano. Overall I'm really happy with the tank.

    Yellow Wrasse QT

    I've successfully QT'd my Vrolik Wrasse using a 8"x6" Pyrex with sand in it. Worked like a charm. Only downside is needing to vacuum the remaining bare bottom of some of the sand that gets knocked out every night. Totally worth it to have a less stressed fish.

    Looks awesome man!

    3 month old Bio Cube 29

    Nice you're one of the lucky ones if she is already taking frozen mysis and brine :). For pellets, I think most just try to work them in slowly in to the feeding by mixing. Also a corner/box that keeps things in one place I've heard helps too. That said from what I understand few Mandarins end...

    Updated picts of the 210

    Nice pics. Looks like your RBTA has grown a ton.

    Xenia Outbreak

    Best advice I've gotten with Xenia is to start them high in the tank and they generally spread less. As for removing them I don't know of any way short of chipping of the rock they're attached to and removing or regular trimmings.

    3 month old Bio Cube 29

    Looks good. One thing I would say is that I hope your Mandarin is taking frozen foods otherwise she'll likely starve unless you're adding lots of copepods weekly. Generally with Mandarins you want an established 6-12 months+) tank with sufficient water volume to support enough copepods to feed...

    Kaz's 28g reef

    As long as they are opened up like that I suspect they're doing fine.

    GUnit's Mixed Material 60g

    And it is officially up and running. Got the canopy on, let it do its diatom bloom and made sure things were stable before adding my Clownfish pair. Also pulled a few new frags out of my QT as it tear it down and re-setup it for my upcoming wrasse purchases. Here is a FTS (sorry about the bad...
