Has your tank been getting hot in the summer? That or lack of food tends to take out the turbos I've kept over the years. With the conch, got any pictures? I've definitely heard of predatory Caribbean species.

Agreed, just use a crappy pump for any media reactors. Shouldn't need UV anyways if you QT right.

I'm guessing Hunter is probably AI

So secret out is that one of the speakers coming up will be the head aquarist from this project. I visited last month and was really impressed with what they're trying to do: basically be a living bank of every tropical coral species found in Australia. They use RFID embedded frag plugs to...

Good choice on the microinverters given the shading

Agree with this. DC pump like a Sicce, Vectra M2, or equivalent Jebao will be quiet and make sure to go with good ball valves not cheap ones that could end up seizing on you. One of the recent Reef Beef episodes talked about those if I recall.

Man I've seen Prometheus...

You're going to have just as many leak points going up the back with traditional plumbing, not to mention the 4 plugs you'll need on the bottom of the tank since it already has holes in it. Agree with Erin, no nems in here, but hardly a sacrifice when you can have a cord/cable/pump free...

Referring back to @MichaelB 's thread: Should Michael run a closed loop on his 210 gallon? Note he has two returns drilled in the top left/right, two center holes for drains. There are also 4x overflow holes drilled from when the tank had internal overflow boxes on the back of the bottom...

And I got it from Keith via Jake

I've seen sand waterfalls before that have a little basin underneath to catch it. The problem is that most are plastic "rock" structures, but I'm sure you could pull out all the internals and make something of your own.

The acropora from the Pringle lab look pretty cool

Those torches are going to blast everything around them (ask me how I know lol)

That should be your bumper sticker now lol

Good thing we have @Srt4eric

9 ft standing wave!

I wouldn't use it just because of the risk of you getting a leak in your tubing or container or having something happen along those lines. There's also the chance of having it splash into your eye by accident during prep (we don't touch it without face shields and full PPE). I think it's...

Candy cane is always a good seller to new folks, bring a bunch to @under_water_ninja !
