I picked up the dewalt cordless wet dry vac..to clean up the baby's mess and vacuum the detritus from my sump

I got the MOS positioned an inch higher than the optimal water line in my sump to cut power to the ATO if triggered. As long as you maintain cleaning out filter socks if you run them, it should prevent the ATO from emptying into your tank.

I think the main scape will be able to handle whatever I throw at it, that one is super solid. The smaller one is yet to be tested, but i doubt I'd be placing that much on it to have it be of concern. I may be setting myself up for alot of pruning to avoid corals from growing into one another...

Stable as can be, despite its cantilever design. I'm sure it can be drilled, the thing is solid and dense. That also is on of its downsides, as it doesn't have much porosity when compared to the rest of the rock I have. Great fit for the look, not so much for the surface area.

I decided to change up the rock on the right side of my scape. I felt it was too tall and didn't provide enough real-estate for an many sticks as I would like. With the South Korean company i went with for the main structure going MIA on people, I decided to enlist a more local source for the...

If they lower the price on Uni I'd be glad to step in and help reduce their population . At $25 bucks a pop, its hard to get full off. Same with the overwhelming population of king crab. Lol

Savages....I feel his pain..I really do..lol

I stick my newly acquired ones on a rack toward the sandbed where they get around 200-250 umol for around an week then slowly raise it up 4_8 inches throughout the course of another week. After a couple weeks they go on the rockwork. Since I glue the plugs directly to it, I prefer that they...

I feel it...I told myself this throughout the whole build. Then after a few water changes, wished I went smaller..lol That stand is crazy clean. I'm diggin it. Enjoy the building process. As slow or as fast as you go, enjoy the journey. Be forewarned, here lurks some savage heathens that are...

The dewalt air movers were on sale at costco. Not sure if that deal is still active, but they're worth having on hand.

I've left some freshly shipped frags in a KCL dip for 30 minutes when the baby crapped himself...totally forgot about em for a sec. All fine when I pulled them out. I would imagine as long as you keep them wet with multiple applications they should be fine. I have yet to try it tho, so take...

Look up Takashi Amano of ADA. His tanks are amazing. I tried emulating the look but didn't up keep it, as they require lots of pruning and attention. Natural look, only 3-4 species of plants...it requires alot of restraint to not add something that takes away from the look. During COVID, I...

Very clean and organized. Nicely put together!

I knew something was up when I saw all of my hermits with a nassarius shell on lol. What are your thoughts on strombus alatus? From what I read, they'd stay mainly in the sandbed. Any experience with those taking out snails?

Hahah...still got around 12 spots to add..one side of the scape is still pretty bare. Good call out on the sunset..looking at it, it could be a major problem if it started encroaching on the areas with sticks..I think I'll move that to its own rock to be safe since Its a pretty fast grower

The temp has been pretty steady around 78-80. I think it hit 81 for a couple hours when the mini split didn't turn on. Lack of food may be possible. There hasn't been much algae to graze on compared to before. One i can confirm was a casualty to the carpen nem due it the shells proximity to it...

Right before lights out

FTS this guy's happy again..moved some rockwork out and he gets more light. First Zoas in the tank...thank you @Ayman

6 month update The tank has been coming along. Everything stabilized for a good month until I had an unexpected nutrient spike.A couple weeks back and thought the little chaeto I had in the algae Rx was dying off. After checking things out, still had that golf ball sized chunk in there and was...
