what they give per watt in return is a fraction of what they charge, it is not a profit generator in any way. Having a battery can save you money in that you can charge it all day and use it at night; not just for outage scenarios.

I have one tiny Molly Miller and some hermits in the tank, so i'm really feeding the corals. I am experimenting with dosing a 'competing' bacteria to the tank as well this time to see if that speeds up the process.

Looks similar to what i have in my new LPS tank (and had before in my SPS tank when it was new). Not dino's based on what i could find. I beat it by feeding heavy and siphoning it off the rocks weekly. Had some on the sandbed, that has already cleared up. -rob

I'm a fan of Ember tetras, Emerald-Eye Rasboras and of course CPD's for the small shoaling. Rainbows are really cool, some can get a decent size; and do take a while to color up; which i suppose is why lots of people sleep on them.

if help is still needed, I can help; anything around check-in/registration or whatever as a may need to leave a little early. -rob

My 90 is doing well, been up about 3 months now with corals, Haven't put in much time, but have been looking for the best lighting program off/on. Currently running a stock program from the initial setup.

How do like the Meridiens? I’m running the same over my UNS90; Are you running a stock program or a custom one?

They are putting the roof because if any issues with the roof occur, that would become a massive expense to remove panels to then replace the roof. Having said that, no free lunches- the cost of the roof is baked in somewhere.

I have Enphase, 39 panels and a battery. My ROI never lived up to the hype, based on the first sale (original purchase was 25 panels). Doesn't help that i added tanks since but even so the reality didn't come to fruition. Having said that, having solar and a battery - i would not go back...

This is so true: there are those still out there preaching the Redfield ratio (which has been proven to not apply to corals) or the 100:1 ration (M Paletta and others) and then there are those that carbon does and so have little/no nitrates but in theory the corals are feeding off of the...

i'd say everything as well. i feed all of my tanks (when i'm home) pretty heavily. Average 4x /day normally 5+. 40G, 80G, 150G. Corals are my nitrate/phosphate control.

I've used ATI many times, FM most recently and a couple others like (now defunct) ICP Analysis. Going to try Triton as the results are supposed to come quite a bit quick (i'm told) other ATI has majority of my history and the site is/was easy to navigate. I did get still get my results quicker...

I have a newer ASD HG and one from the original strain that I recently got from TCK; while both look very nice, they are different. Tin had brought a couple original to to CFM last time, they just look different from the rest of the HG’s that were for sale and a price to match.

1 for Saturday please.

For me, FW Exit - did little; Springeri Damsel - did little; pink streaked wrasse - did little (I went with pink streaked cause 6-Lines are assholes); KCL dip - instant knock off. They do annoy some of my yumas but not all. Don't have as many/much as on your glass; but haven't had irritation to...

I have some spheres and such in my sump that have been there for some years, i use them to launch new tanks and qt tanks.

Well I’m not gonna frag one;); but I can collect a couple.

I have a few corals desperate for fragging. Would anyone want a frag/frags of: CB Green Goblin Anacropora Slimeball Anacropora: Japanese Deepwater Nepthea: the mother: can also frag a long polyp pulsing sinularia Bali Green Slimer and sour apple birdsnest. -rob

Was back in DC this past week for work. was able to get a few free moments to Inappropriate Reefers house where he left a frag of the Bahama Llama Weeping Willow. Tossed it in my backpack and brought it home with me. Even the TSA folks who barely know what a coral is, don't balk when going...
