Same people who have 20 post...15 requesting frags in dbtc and 5 in PIF or BST. Brings brown palys to the frag swap at ASAP and scoops the acans and acros.. It's inevitable...every community has them. Sadly we've had those types for years...yet here we are, still around. One of the longest...

Vivid is a cool spot to visit. It's about 45 min to an hour away in canoga park depending on what time you leave Pasadena. Nice selection if you have a specific piece in mind, and the staff there are cool. I came in near closing and they still let me browse for another 30 min while we talked...

Yea..lesson learned for me. I sent off the ATI one the day after my RTN incident, so 8/27. Results came back 9/3, sooner than I anticipated. I want to trust my Hannah but it can be inconsistent at times depending on the age of the reagents. All with in date, but will throw me different #s...

ICP results came in from ATI today. It was my first time using ATI's kit, mostly because I liked how they included a vial to test RO water, NO3, and KH. Glad to see my RO water is spot on, but the results of the test caught me off guard. A week and a half prior I had submitted a triton ICP...

Panta Rhei is coming out with a surge device that looks interesting

Looking good!! Makes me wish I had your dimensions lol

Well..I knew it had to happen one day..I lost my first piece. One of the quickest RTN I've experienced...and it had to be with princess peach. Bummed..I really liked this piece. I usually carry the baby in front of the tank and rock back and fourth to calm him down and get him sleepy..(also...

You'll be lucky if you can get ahold of anyone at Fiji Cube. My overflow holes were drilled crooked and bulkheads warped. Even after ordering 3 replacement sets, 2 of the 3 came warped. The filter roll replacement they sell for their own filter rollers doesn't fit. After ordering something from...

With all the recent innovations in our hobby, what do they believe is the future of reefing 10-15 years from now?

Never used the bashed one. But I know with Beckett style skimmer like MRC and deltec you gotta stay on maintenance more frequently to keep a consistent skimmate. It may be easier now if you have a DC pump that you can adjust on the fly. Pros: they rarely overflow when tuned right and can be ran...

I'm tellin you Alex..Tu's like the reefing genie....ask and you shall recieve..lol

The one pet peeve i have with tanks on IG is that they only post when things are looking good and going great. It doesn't give a true sense of the struggle they face with the limited water volume. Not that I hope to see anyone struggle with their system, I just find i tend to learn the most...

What type of systematic you gearing toward? I ran a 50 gal SPS dominated one before and found it to be a pain keeping the parameters steady. The low water volume might drive you crazy. Water changes are a breeze, but swings can be dangerous. I eventually lost it to...wait for it.... KALK...

I had a chance to stop by my parents house and found myself speaking to my dad about the hobby and how things are now. When I was a kid, he tried endless times in keeping a copperband to no avail. "They'd last a month, at best. If you're lucky" ..I was pretty proud to show him this: He...

In attempts to free up some space in the tank, I sold a large aussie branch and the largest Indo piece i used when setting the tank up..I figured the beneficial bacteria i wanted to seed the main scape had to have spread in the course of 7 months..besides, despite selling the two big pieces, I...

Man..you really assembled the avengers for this one..thats one hell of a line up..I gotta mark my calendar

Where's the pics of everyone's haul?! Let's see them colonies!

I messaged the guy asking what the dates on them are. If anything, I can stop by tomorrow and take a look, he's right down the street from where I work.

I run the pinpoint probe on an Apex, as my apex probe read a little funny straight out the box. I calibrate monthly and find ~ +/- 0.03-0.05 between calibrations, which i don't mind.

UNS makes beautiful tanks. As a plug and play system, its up there amongst the best of them in terms of craftsmanship. I wouldn't rule out IM all together, their EXT line might be right up your alley and of good quality. Waterbox ones are nice if those dimensions fit your taste. That being...
