beautiful plumbing, excited to see it when its up and running!

Just wanted to check in, would mine have to be a different delivery?

Mine would attack any corals I placed next to its precious anemones! I was surprised by the strength of its tail flick

Fun picture of my Tuxedo Urchin taking two of my small hermit crabs hostage and taking them on the ride of their lives :D

Forgot to mention algae disappeared soon after posting! which was nice Sorry I have been so busy with life and haven't had the time to update my journal. I ended up doing something crazy and drilled a hole through my house to run RODI water and have my skimmer get fresh air. It was super scary...

I would love one, anyway we could get a deal on the larger one (2 in)? If not I'm fine with the smaller one

I would love to do the meet up at @Hamada's pizza place, if we could do it sometime after Ramadan I would really appreciate it. As a Muslim I'm fasting right now and that would be a bummer not to taste a slice of his delicious looking pizza :D. Its projected to end March 29th so maybe early...

I would say look at Enphase they have a much longer warranty and way better customer service unless you want to deal with a AI assistant (with Tesla) if something goes wrong. I just ended up getting solar and although the power wall is nice they only have a 10 year warranty my Enphase batteries...

oh sorry I meant for a refractometer, don't mind me :rolleyes:

always always make sure you have calibration fluid to check against I have two and sometimes get different numbers and I know one of them is off sometimes both hahahah

rechecked my calcium and it was a little high (475ppm) probably due to my stupid decision to dose. Still learning but this is a good reminder to never be hasty! Always take a step away and retest.

I think it's an actual coat of paint, again I am not sure because it was done by the previous owner, maybe someone else can comment here but quick google search and I found this! I think its made to withstand saltwater and intense sun...

Absolutely amazing set up! The time, patience and planning it took to build this is incredible. I had a lot of fun reading your journey, can't wait to keep following along and actually see you get some livestock in there!

I would recommend painting it with marine paint when done if possible, it's really nice to have that extra bit of protection should it get wet. The stand I got with my tank was built by the pervious owner and it's something I would do again should I ever have to make my own.

I have little knowledge but @Hamada really saved me when he came down and saw my tank. I had metal band holding a hose to one of my pumps for my UV. He showed me small signs of rust on the screws and we immediately took it out, definitely something I would have never accounted for!
