I tried gel super glue from hardware store before but found ic gel performs better in that ic gel stays in form better and does not release as much of a thin layer of glue when it hits water.

I clean brute can once a year. Power washer, then shop vac to suck the loose deposit out. Probably no real benefit to clean it.

I read online that when the pumps stops after a cycle, the fluid in the incoming tube will drop off by gravity. This may introduce inconsistency in dosage next time it spins up, because the drop may not be consistent among the 3 pumps.

Two random questions: 1. I calibrated all 3 refactor meters to 35 ppt a year ago. This morning all 3 meters showed 36~37 ppt using the SAME bottle of calibration fluid (which has been kept in fridge). Does calibration fluid expire, or the meters somehow shifted? Maybe temperature calibration...

Just realized I use Tunze powerhead, not Vortech. Thinking what I should do to anemone proof.

I have hydra 26 hd with rigid arm mounted from back pane of im 20. A360WE should be lightwr.

Anyone happen to have the thread discussing 3D printed anemone gaurd for powerhead? I was able to save an anemone just in time 2 days ago and scared now.

I attest they are great bite size!

I will always prefer Bean Animal setup (3 pipes), and ghost overflow (i.e external box).

I will not be able to help, but drilling wasn’t that difficult if you get right tools and patience, with some tips. I have the drill guide you can borrow. My drill bits may be different size though. I watched youtube, practiced a few holes on scrap glass (ruied the first drill bit real quick...

Rlativly new to salt water, I want to express my appreciation of the event. I ended up taking home 5 corals I did not have. Under hydra light, they all look great！ Many thanks to Eric who helped me out with the selection！

I live in fremont. Just spinned up a 150g. Love to have them. Let me know. Julius

Just paid $20 for pre-registration. Baykes - I will bring some zoas I have had for over a year now. I am embarrassed I don't remember their names by now, which I was told when buying them as frags.

How do I pre-register at the homepage? I only see a note there about sending money to paypal@bareefers.org I am not sure whether the corals I will bring all qualify. If I end up having less than 3 qualifying corals, can I pay $ to fill the "gap"? Thanks, Julius

Live to get a frag from it, to start off my new CDA 150. I will also be at the swap. Julius

Wow, looks awesome! I am at the point of putting in new rocks to my new CDA 150 setup. That is where you were 3 years ago? I wish I could do as well in 2021.

Anybody near Fremont-Milpitas-Santa Clara has a few pcs flat shelf rock and tonga branches? Interested in buying just a small qty to For my new tank. Prefer dry rocks instead of live rocks, fearful of hitch hikers and risk of disease.

So I built this fitting to connect between the 3/4" pipe and 1/4" the peristaltic pump. The slip between clear tubing and the white fittings will not be glued, so I can slide the fitting out to replace the 1/4" tubing when needed.

Two lines: drain line from tank (not surpring), and new salt water line from brute can to tank (surprising). The build up is most obvious where there is a u shape (where sediment can collect). I’d say I need to change the lines every 4 months (running at 3-5 gallon/day).

I have found yelliw sediment inside 1/4” tubing in both nsw and drain lines. Overtime they got blocked real bad. I thus use 3/4” pvc pipe for the section inside wall and in crawl space. 1/4” tubing only at tank and garage where i can easily check and replace.
