I run the pinpoint probe on an Apex, as my apex probe read a little funny straight out the box. I calibrate monthly and find ~ +/- 0.03-0.05 between calibrations, which i don't mind.

UNS makes beautiful tanks. As a plug and play system, its up there amongst the best of them in terms of craftsmanship. I wouldn't rule out IM all together, their EXT line might be right up your alley and of good quality. Waterbox ones are nice if those dimensions fit your taste. That being...

Looking good! What was your dosage for the KCl?

I got 7 females and 1 male lyretail in mine. They'll still fight and develop a pecking order, but not enough to kill the runt of the females IME. The male is just an A hole no matter which way you slice it. The only one he bows down to is the purple tang.

@Sfork2 Id defer to you expertise if I had this predicament

I picked up the dewalt cordless wet dry vac..to clean up the baby's mess and vacuum the detritus from my sump

I got the MOS positioned an inch higher than the optimal water line in my sump to cut power to the ATO if triggered. As long as you maintain cleaning out filter socks if you run them, it should prevent the ATO from emptying into your tank.

I think the main scape will be able to handle whatever I throw at it, that one is super solid. The smaller one is yet to be tested, but i doubt I'd be placing that much on it to have it be of concern. I may be setting myself up for alot of pruning to avoid corals from growing into one another...

Stable as can be, despite its cantilever design. I'm sure it can be drilled, the thing is solid and dense. That also is on of its downsides, as it doesn't have much porosity when compared to the rest of the rock I have. Great fit for the look, not so much for the surface area.

I decided to change up the rock on the right side of my scape. I felt it was too tall and didn't provide enough real-estate for an many sticks as I would like. With the South Korean company i went with for the main structure going MIA on people, I decided to enlist a more local source for the...

If they lower the price on Uni I'd be glad to step in and help reduce their population . At $25 bucks a pop, its hard to get full off. Same with the overwhelming population of king crab. Lol

Savages....I feel his pain..I really do..lol

I stick my newly acquired ones on a rack toward the sandbed where they get around 200-250 umol for around an week then slowly raise it up 4_8 inches throughout the course of another week. After a couple weeks they go on the rockwork. Since I glue the plugs directly to it, I prefer that they...

I feel it...I told myself this throughout the whole build. Then after a few water changes, wished I went smaller..lol That stand is crazy clean. I'm diggin it. Enjoy the building process. As slow or as fast as you go, enjoy the journey. Be forewarned, here lurks some savage heathens that are...
