I use the 55w 3" body model. It's pretty big Sleeve $5-15, change every 1 to maybe 3 years. Bulb $70, change every year. Uses an amalgam which is supposedly better than regular fluorescent. My stance is that cheap is fine for temporary use. I run mine 24/7 so opted for something better.

Just replaced the bulb and sleeves on my Lifeguard Pro-Max unit today. One of the reasons why I choose this model is the beefiness and ability to replace the PVC liner. Now I see why. After two years the liner has gone from 1.75mm to 1.2mm and feels a whole lot more brittle. With cheap plastic...

Is this to make your apex look fancy? U can make your own. Buy the male and female plug parts then put whatever 3 wire orange cable you want. 14 gauge should be good. Ive seen some nice orange braided wire being used. https://a.co/d/8UJ0ur7

Hiding the tank so the significant other doesn't complain about the uglies phase? :p First year I went through outbreaks of three different types of dinos, cyano, and chrysophytes. I got a lot of "why does your tank look so gross and ugly?"

I'm in Dublin so a bit further east Bay, but I'm open if it works logistically.

@dandemeyere id recommend keeping one or two for maintenance. Even though the display might seem clear of aiptasia, guaranteed they're still lurking in your overflow, pipes, sump, and will eventually make their way back in. Happened to me twice.

A humbling reminder how lucky we are to have an abundance of hobbyists in the Bay area and generosity of this club o_O

My HTA fish list. All eating and doing great. Best part was dropping them straight into the tank without fear.

I use Panduit J hooks in my stand for cable runs and keeping things tidier. At one time I used those enclosed wire channels but they were a pain in the ass whenever I needed to remove or add anything, and I'm a tinkerer. You can find them on eBay used sometimes for far less than new

Welcome back! That didn't take long :) Looks like the extrusions currently use anchor fasteners. Depending on where you cut, you might need to mill in new holes for the anchor connectors or use something else like corner brackets. Like Eric said, most blades will cut aluminum but speciality...

You're going to end up in Clearwater, Florida instead of Clearwater Aquarium Dang did any BAR people snag that spath? That thing is gorgeous. Even the humilis behind it.

Whoever wants a frag just message me, the big colony can use another trimming. Weekdays during the day are usually best for me but I can also leave it in a cooler on the porch at other times I'm not available. @Kenzo

Next frag swap the flashlights will look like gas station bathroom keys

Unfortunately I have to agree, the Squidgly doesn't have tight tolerances so feels kind of sloppy, especially for the price. I can't recommend this product either for everyday all around use, BUT the ability to articulate the head is amazing. There's been a handful of time already where I've...

Looking good! Those UNS R tanks are a work of art! Robert showed me the insides and out of their display at Neptune and I was blown away how well thought out each component was and beautifully designed.
