I would have placed the gate valves to go over the sump. If there is a way to reposition them, I would do so. But from the looks of it, they’re already glued in place. Those tend to leak after a while from my experience. The only gate valves that I’ve used that I never had a leak from are the...

I’ve ran kessil 350s, 360we, 360x, AP9X, xr15 pro, xr15 gen 5 blue, xr15 gen 5 pro and xr30 blue. Both with diffusers and without. From my experience kessils, leave a lot of hard shadowing but work great for overall coral growth and of course give great shimmer to the tank. The 360x and AP9X...

1000% agree. I just float the bag for temp and check Salinity then drop into a QT. I know that HTA fish are kept on the sales floor are housed at 1.025sg with no copper or meds, so literally float and drop in. If shipped from online vendor, definitely do not drip acclimate because the water in...

Swing by a LFS to grab your test kits. Support the LFS’s and it’s a great way to gain some inspiration. I see you’ve been to Aquatic Collections which is a great store and usually always has what I’m looking for. I’ve heard great things about Neptune in SJ, I personally haven’t made my way out...

Welcome! And I use these too

If you want to unload the tank to make space sooner than later, I can lend my Biocube 29 until you find or pick up your Reefer 170. LMK @ashburn2k

I’ve always ran a gyre near the top for that same reason. When I setup the most recent tank I figured that plenty of gas exchange happens from the overflow to sump alone, plus the skimmer. I’ve had no problems these past about 6-7 months. So the surface agitation from power heads or gyres are...

May have found a suspect as an aggressor toward small wrasse, basslet or jester goby? I’ve also seen cleaner wrasse be a-holes toward smaller wrasse in the past. Edit: Tons of great deals on used tanks available, or pick up a 60 breeder (great dimensions) from Petco.

Are these good size amphipods? @Thales :p Haha!

Just needs a 1-1/2” bulkhead or a eshopps med or small overflow box. -Pending

This is very kind of you @ashburn2k I’ll take a couple black ones if still available

:cool::cool: Looking forward to it! Thanks @under_water_ninja for putting this together & @Thales for speaking

What silicone are you using to reinstall the center brace?

I would’ve totally bought this, but the $56 for shipping turned me off. :rolleyes:

You definitely have a nipper, or maybe a couple. (My money is on the blue damsel or hawk fish) All the fish you mentioned are to be considered semi-aggressive and territorial aside from the fire fish. Yellow tangs, especially of biota size are relatively peaceful. Try pulling the yellow tang to...

Same, I've been using Red Sea Pro for about 4 months, since then I've slowly lost 1 torch at a time and a few hammers. I'm currently down to a green splitting double and my Knicks is just about to lose one of the 3 heads, the other 2 are still looking fluffy and healthy.There are no signs of...

I think @Mr2KiEu has Dragons breath and a Christmas tree rock for sale

Welcome @dioworld! Definitely check out High Tide in Oakland for QT’d fish and corals. @under_water_ninja also matches BRS pricing for supporting member on equipment and dry goods and he can usually get things not stocked within a couple days.

I’m on Block 50 which was previously group 0, as I live down the street from my local Fire station. Power was still shut off for 3 days back in 2019 which obviously caused a catastrophic tank crash and took me out of the hobby for a couple years. I learned that you can’t believe everything that...

I have a couple from @dandemeyere also if anyone wants to pick up in east bay - 94525
