$300 lights.... $200 skimmer.... $300 dosing pumps.... I have learned in my short time the cheapest aspect of this hobby is the water.... and that is about it :D

two clowns one 6 line Wrasse one Longnose Hawkfish one Bangaii one Ruby Red Dragonette two turbos two trochus two nassarus I was recommended a crab, but AC was out of them, and Neptune doesn't sell them... and I forgot the name of it :p Coral safe is a must.

Been battling hair algae for 3 months now. It is only my tallest rock that has the issue. The tallest rock has been shaded for 3 weeks now, and it has no effect on the algae. I have reduced the output of my Vega from 80% to 50% back around the 1st week of December. AC feels that my Vega just...

yeah medical premiums suck arse. My wife works for a large tech company in San Jose as well, but she is Kaiser. Well I am Kaiser as well through my dealership. But she had to go the the ER one night due to stomach pains. Sat in the ER for 4 hours (busy night). They never put her in a room, the...

The wife and I can bring some soft drinks. Coke, Sprite, Diet Coke, etc. or if you prefer we can bring something else if needed

not to thread hijack, but I thought RedSea made the "better" equipment? You would think for the price anyways.

The skimmer I have is an older generation of the one I linked. Protein Skimmers for Saltwater Aquariums, Hang On Protein Skimmer for Fish Tanks up to 80 Gallons, DC Pinwheel Pump with Controller, Not for Rimmed Tank https://a.co/d/0qsqHoZ And thanks it is still a very young tank at 3 months old

My wife wants a nem, but I am cautious to add one. We have a torch, hammer, frog spasm, and octo spawn. So far our black clown has showed interest in the frog spawn. Every once in a while it will rest int it.

I am thinking of adding them to my tank. My dragonette seems to be doing good it spends all day scooting across the sand eating something. I can't see what it is eating, but it is munching all the time. Plus it does eat Hikari spirulina shrimp. But I figure copepods would be good for the tanks...

I put a UPS on my 30 gallon after the last power outage. I also have a Honda EU1000 sitting in the garage.

Update time! My wife all of a sudden decided she wanted more fish. She has this dream of breeding our two clowns, but I think she gave up on it.... So! Yesterday we picked up 4 fish. We got a Longnose Hawkfish, Six Line Wrasse, Ruby Red Dragonette, and a Bangaii Cardinal. So far everyone is...

A late Happy New Year! So far so good here, reef is stable, corals are growing, and new fishies added :) And also now my wife wants her own reef tank.

Met up with Coral Reefer. Enjoy the books! And thank you again for the donation for Mikaboo Companion Bird Rescue. My sister is cleaning out her garage and I will have gear in a few weeks possibly. Mostly 10 gallon tanks, and NIB HoBs. Thanks Again
