    Insomniac's 150g "downgrade"

    T5's were running for 5 hours during high light times. Kessils were running at almost minimum intensity from 9am to 10PM. Im assuming that because my water is so clear at the moment, that I need much less light. I cut back my t5 times to about 3 hours, and now have my kessils ramping and...

    Reef dynamics skimmer body

    You could always convert it to a venturi skimmer and run any pump. That's what i would do at least :)

    Insomniac's 150g "downgrade"

    Back from vacation and tank still looks pretty good. My tank sitter overfed I wasn't about to explain when to stop feeding, so that's what i get. My DT rocks have a thin layer of algae on them, so I will have to try to combat it down and out compete with my refugium. Other than that, my tester...

    Moving Tank Thread ( Help Needed )

    Same here. This tank is the first tank I actually felt like it was beneficial to use one. That said, I got them all loose with channel locks after i gave up trying to find the "wrench". I dont know if you have ever looked at a Marineland DD stand, but man are they lacking free space and very...

    Moving Tank Thread ( Help Needed )

    For the life of me, i cannot find my bulkhead wrench. If anyone has one and is helping Bob grab the tank on the Concord side, can you throw one in your pocket? The stand is very low profile, so the smaller footprint of the bulkhead wrench really helps. See you guys today!

    Insomniac's 150g "downgrade"

    No particular reason. I had read that they are preferred, are really resilient, and breed well. Figured I would try it out. Considering that I have less than ideal conditions in my hot garage, I'd say that they are definitely an easy species. No I haven't bothered breeding any pods in the...

    Insomniac's 150g "downgrade"

    Operation "Tiger pod" is a success. Production has been a bit slow, so i have been experimenting with different salinity and air bubbles. So uh..All i had to do was forget that i was trying to culture them for a week. Let the salinity get likely way too high. Remove the air stone entirely and...

    Rygh's 250 gallon - Rev 3

    I believe that you just read my thread about using a rollermat. Don't believe everything you read. Most of it is common sense. They absolutely do not remove everything corals need. That's just silly imo. Your entire DT is random flow. Your corals have tons of time for contact. So even if you...

    Insomniac's 150g "downgrade"

    Retail is $30. I think i got mine on sale a while ago. They could cost $50 and I would still do it. I don't do filter socks., but I sure like the benefit of them.

    Insomniac's 150g "downgrade"

    I'm going to guess 2 months. My last roll was 4 months. I'll have a better guess in a month or so. It just makes life so easy! Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

    Teaser of my phase 2 project. Say hi to my qt/observation tank. It will be a busy tank soon, and then will end up transforming to an anemone clown tank. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

    Site looks different?

    Ironically, the first thing i did when i started becoming active on this forum was change to 2.0 style. I guess I must like change...go figure.

    Insomniac's 150g "downgrade"

    One fantastic thing about the new tank setup vs the old one is running the rollermat directly off the overflow. My previous configuration had a pump feeding the rollermat from the sump. It was so much less effective. It did not take long for buildup of fish turds everywhere in my sump. Now...

    Coral reefer’s 360 gal system. 225 display and frag tanks

    They don't run off the power port. They run off the same port the ecotech batteries run off. Essentially, if primary power fails, the controller pulls 12v from the secondary source and runs in limp mode. Limp mode runs at a much slower and fixed power draw to extend battery backup life. I have...

    Coral reefer’s 360 gal system. 225 display and frag tanks

    That's what i like about the belkin units so much. The battery packs are easily replaced with a standard motorcycle battery that costs $20, and they have a quick clip that releases the compartment. I love having them everywhere. I use them for all my fish stuff, routers, switches, wireless...

    Printed vinyl works well for that. These work quite well : https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Darts-crafts&field-keywords=silhouette
