Thanks Alex! Yea, it's a rate occasion that I get a majority of the kids together with their busy schedules. Definitely a priceless moment, especially when they support my hobbies. Happy fathers day to you too!

It's been one hell of a week. My daughter finished up her first year in college and needed to move out of her dorm till fall. Given that they had graduation ceremonies going on, they didn't want movers all over the place, so strict time frames were given to clear everything out. Since we're...

Going to pick up my daughter from college today in Santa Barbara. Anyone got any recommendations on a good LFS along the way? Mainly looking for some nice sticks.

Red construction paper lining the bottom won't cause a pressure point and will easily show contrast if there is a leak. Off topic, with the recent threads going on about reefing OG's, @sfsuphysics has been around for as long as I could remember (the start of BAR) and has a wealth of...

Not a bad idea, but skip the fluorescent dye. Use plain non scented bleach (glows blue) or open up a vitamin B12 capsule and mix in (glows yellow). Both can be rinsed and once dry wouldn't be a threat. With a tank this long, I'd be cautious about propping it up on 2x4's. It's possible to...

I used the PNS deep cycle one when cycling my tank. I soaked 2 Genesis blocks for a day and injected the rest in the substrate using an oral syringe. Below is a clip of my aquabiomics report before I added different types of live rock. 2 weeks before this sample was taken, the only bacterial...

Geo makes a nice reactor and recently released a smaller version for tanks < 200 gallons. Might be worth a look if your reactor shopping.

If there is any left can I pick up a bag?

Nice! I do find myself burning through reagen A quite quick and purchase extra in addition to the combo set from ABC. Hopes to see it available in the future tho. Bummer that ABC is scaling down. I was hoping they would come out with reagents for the NP as well.

That part I didn't know. I've seen it on SWA, but after seeing it was coralvue, figured it was for the hydros.

FYI Just got an email now stating that they will be transitioning their reagent sales to Coralvue. You would still be able to purchase the "just add water" kit directly, but once their stock is depleted that will be all that will be available. For anyone that uses these for their automatic...

I got a third of a bottle left of phyto you're welcome to if you wanna gut load with that

I should have ran the airline outside a long time ago. Since doing it, PH hasn't dropped below 8.0

Do they still make those? I ran an H&S recirculating skimmer outside of my sump. Loud as hell, but all there was back then was AC pumps. Once dialed in you can pretty much forget about it. I eventually switched it out to an ATI bubble master because of the heat generated by the pumps. They're...

Divorce would be the cheaper option...you have plenty of alcohol in the reference pic to get you through it.. JK Anyone know what happened to Max? He used to run a LFS out of san jo and did custom stands and hoods from us back then...

Purely space..things are starting to get cramped under the tank. I underestimated how much room I need for maintenance. Opening and closing the algae reactor, kalk reactor, or even calibrating the ph probes involves me getting in cramped spaces. Whatever I could relocate away and put of sight...

Do you use the cone shaped strainer or the flat life guard ones? I found the flat ones to clog rather quickly and changed mine out.

A few updates... With the weather warming, Temps got to the point where opening a window wasn't enough and we got the AC going. Shortly after, I noticed my ph dropping as well had everything closed up. I've been collecting parts to run an airline outside to offset the high co2 in the house...

I know that @SupraSaltyReefer and @richiev just took some time away from their tanks and things panned out well. They might have some better insight for vacay prep
