So what might it be? Sorry the Vegas don’t have white light. This the best I can get of it.

Skimmer is in section 1, and the filter stack is in section 2. Running basic white and blue filter media in the top, bio balls in the second, and Rowa Phos in the third. The filter media media I got from Amazon is only about 1/2 thick where the media that came with the stack was about 1 inch. I...

So here is my most recent testing! Top is Neptune, bottom I did last night. My alkalinity is apparently to low, but everything else is looking good. Also I got some snails! Two Trochus, two Mexican turbos, and two Nassarius. The nassarius have buried themselves, and the trochus seem to be on a...

my wife just pointed out that there is new growth my tank…. Looks to be hair algae. Not very thick, but there are strands all over… no clumps yet

THIS! my wife's 37 gallon was perfectly level until we filled it. Once full it was almost half a bubble off. So we emptied it, shimmed it, and refilled it. It was perfect, a week later, and it is off slightly. My wife's tank is rimmed though, and so I can hide the slight difference with the rim...

Got my testing equipment! I shall start testing this weekend. But on a positive the brown algae mess is starting to recede. I have also updated my cost of operations list.

I can work the raffle table. I can't tell one coral from another, but I can handle a raffle ticket! Do I need to submit a resume of previous raffles worked? :p

This weeks test results! I added Rowa Phos to the rear filter chamber as instructed by Neptune. Tank is still ugly :p

Came home last night from work, walked through the front door, and thought "wow.... something is really noisy." Looked around a bit, and then noticed it was my biocube making all the noise. Low and behold the Coralife lift pump was about to depart from this mortal plain. Ran over to Neptune, and...

ordered! thanks :D

Lab results! And an ugly tank :p

Updated the shopping list! I got my Inkbird in over the weekend and installed it. With the cooler weather this was the perfect time to test my free tank heater. I set it to 80* and the Inkbird to 78.... And sadly my tank dropped to 76, and it was not getting warmer. So an emergency run to...

I accidentally hit the submit key when the boss walked by :p

A simple pole to see what every one out there in the BAR family is using. I have left this multiple choice, as I know not every test by every brand is the best.... you might use Red Sea Alk, but Nyos Mag.... If so, please comment :) I shall start with that I have Milwaukee salinity tester at...

Woo!

Yes it was live rock from a holding tank. When working with the rock and setting it up, it did not appear to have anything on it.

This has appeared on my live rock. Wondering if I need to be concerned. No fish or corals in the tank. This day 4 of it running.

Well unfortunately this didn’t take long. This morning went to work and tank was a happy 76 degrees. Got home at 5, and my condo is 81* and my tank is 80 :( Trying to cool the tank, but will this harm the bacteria I am trying to get into a healthy state?

Thank you, my wife will love the comment. She worked on that for a while. Seeing as it is live rock, it was a good learning experience working with wet rock.

As of today my biocube 32, and first salt water tank is off to the races. Huge shout out to Michael for live rock, and just a ton of information. Plus the tour of the tanks was great! Used Coralife biocube 32 $200 with stand Used AI Vega x4 $Free Amazon Skimmer $ came with tank Wave maker $...
