    Average lifespan of cleaner shrimp?

    I had one for 2.5-3 years which I read is roughly their lifespan. I can't speak to it looking lethargic towards the end because I unfortunately didn't pay much attention to it's activity level. It probably depends on how old it was when you got it.

    BRS, subbar advice packaged in professional setting

    No doubt about it. I also thought it was interesting that they became a dealer of Royal Exclusive at the same time he announced he is using the dream box setup. That wasn't very subtle.

    BRS, subbar advice packaged in professional setting

    I was out of the hobby and out of touch for a while so I watched a ton of their videos trying to catch up to everything that had changed. I tried to compare their suggestions with the methods that proven successful reefers follow but I'll admit I made at least one impulse buy because they...

    Tropic Marin's All for Reef / Neptune Stock?

    Within the last ~month I submitted a couple questions to Neptune through their website contact form and they responded to both within 1 or 2 days. Might be worth it to give that a shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    IO Reef Crystals recipe

    I have a spreadsheet formula that I use for mixing RC. I can plug in total water volume and current salinity and it kicks out how many grams are needed to get to 35 ppt / 1.026 sg 834 grams per 5g of water 166.8 grams per gallon or 4.765714286 per gallon per ppt

    Help with heavy tank?

    Welcome back to the hobby! I hired a moving company in Union City for $250. I helped lift the tank from the furniture dolly to the stand because I like to be extra careful but I don't think they needed me. I looked for movers who work with pianos because they're used to moving heavy, delicate items.

    UV Sterilizer Question

    I think the Apex reading drops the next digit. 22w is ~.18A so that's the only thing that makes sense to me.

    UV Sterilizer Question

    I sure do. I called Aqua UV a couple days ago to ask about it and they said they couldn't tell me what wattage it's supposed to draw. Not that it's a secret, but that they don't know. I find it incredibly strange and unfortunately I don't think there is a way to validate whether it's effective...

    UV Sterilizer Question

    I have a 57w Aqua UV brand sterilizer that is plugged into my Apex and reading only 22w/.1A on the eb832. I validated electricity draw with a kill-a-watt as well. Is this normal? Shouldn't it be drawing closer to 57w? The unit, ballast, and bulb all say 57w and the bulb is brand new, just...

    MP10 troubleshooting advice

    This might sound dumb and may not work, but have you tried resetting it? Every time I've reached out to ecotech, which admittedly isn't all that much, they've suggested a factory reset.

    What did you get at the CFM?

    I love this idea. I think I actually asked about this a few years ago and was turned down. I was just starting my tank and wanted to be a part of the event, but didn’t have anything I could frag.

    Cheap, reliable ATO?

    I've been using the autotopoff.com dual float switch for years without any issues.

    7ft 230g Crystal Dynamic Build

    I’m visiting family in San Diego and decided to stop in to Crystal Dynamic to see the progress on my build. Just waiting on them to finish the stand and sump. It’s getting close!!

    7ft 230g Crystal Dynamic Build

    I didn’t notice any blue colors coming off the rock when I was handling it. I’d suggest reaching out to Caribsea. Let us know what they say! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gem Tang (and others) Information

    I admit, I was a little excited at first when I saw Aquatic Collection post them for $240 but the yellow tang is honestly one of my favorite fish in the hobby. I agree with the others that gem tangs are only exciting because they have been so rare and expensive for such a long time.
