Hi all, Just got slapped with a high bill (3-4X the usual amount). Hard to say where it is coming from but I jumped from 730 GPD to 1929 GPD for the past 2 consecutive billing cycles. These are 2 months period. It could be that our irrigation controller became faulty during that time. We were...

Hi all, Where do you usually buy pods from? LFS or online through algae barn, reef nutrition etc? copepods, tigger etc? Thanks!

Hi all, I was trying to make a cutout in my baseboard to route my cables etc and finish it off with a faceplate. I encountered this when I removed the baseboard. Is that asbestos or plaster? It's an old house but has been inspected for asbestos by the city etc. I do not see any fibrous...

Anyone knows what this thing is? I guess it's some sort of nem. Thought it was apstasia but apstasia doesn't have the red color. Thanks!

Hi all, My wife and I are thinking about our next upgrade and we are keen on a PENINSULA 3620. We like this footprint. Any ideas which LFS carries it? Do you know of any other brands that have peninsulas around this footprint. Thanks!

Hi all, I am sure that there may be different opinions based on each behaviour. But is a fire shrimp reef safe in general? I personally prefer fire shrimp to cleaner shrimp but I fear it may start eating the corals. We plan on keeping zoas,montis and digis in a 40 gal cube. I have a...

Hi all, I had the great pleasure of personally meeting some of you (here and there while buying stuff). I am relatively new to the hobby, and did not have a tank journal. I am bad at documentation but here are some updates/background story. My wife and I had planted tanks back when we lived in...

Hi all, I would like to connect my DI water to one of my water line in the basement. I want to "T" off a water line. It is galvanized pipe. The guy at ace hardware suggested that I could use compression coupling for this. I do not have any tools to solder a copper fitting either. What do you...

Hi all, I managed to get a HOB overflow that fits very nicely in my 40 gal AIO tank. However, I am having a hard time keeping the desired water level in the overflow. I am dialing my pump and the return valve on the drain and overflow but the liquid level tends to decrease with time (about 4-5...

I am trying to collect some ideas on what I can do to make it better for my reef tank. I currently have an aquatop 40 gal with stand. All about 22" or so. I am not planning to drill my current tank (not sure whether it is tempered or not but it is irrelevant to me since I am not drilling it)...

Hi all, As promised, I cleaned up the tank a bit over the weekend. Took some lousy pics. The rocks are not enough for the tank. I ordered some 20 lbs live rock which are due to arrive in early January.. So, for now, I am just looking at...rock. It doesnt matter. I have a lot of things to keep...

Hi all, I am looking into purchasing a RODI system. I have a 40 gal tank and on a budget. So, a small but decent one will do. Do you have any recommendations for our area? I live in east bay, berkeley and looking at EBMUD, it seems that i get the water from walnut creek area. thanks all!

Hi everyone, I am new here but you can also find me on R2R. I just joined the reef tank community. I am new to the hobby but I have had planted tanks before (10-55 gal). I am hoping to get some valuable resources from you all since I just started venturing into marine tanks. I bought an...
