Got to love hitchhikers

I have been looking into using Calcium from pool supply for the reef tank. Seems people have been doing it for awhile anyone got any input.

Starting new build soon. 200 Gal. 72x24x26 Sump in the basement (wife's idea, I love her) no more carrying water up the stairs. Combining 2 tanks 70g and 120g into one. Will be posting more as it comes together, it’s going to take awhile. Over the years starting with fresh water and then...

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the loss of our Sqaumosa clam. It was the jewel of the small tank. I have to say that juggling the 2 tanks is a lot of work. I was hoping the clam could have made it to the new build. I really need to get going on it but so much work, got to take time and...

Noticed some spots on the mushrooms in the tank, I initially thought that it looked like a lot of little mushrooms growing on the mushrooms. On closer inspection I fear that I have a flatworm infestation. I have not introduced anything into the tank in two years or more. They only appear on the...

This is a great way to feed Nori. I've designed a prototype magnetic floating Nori feeder without using the MagFloat. Not quite happy with it need to tweak a bit. The benefit is very little chance of big pieces being torn off and floating around the tank. I've feeding them like this for a few...

Not sure where to put this so I’ll share my experience to those of you who ever moved or thought about moving a tank. Well my friend passed and it was time to move his tanks. It was not fun I do not recommend it to anyone. Everything went pretty smoothly and everything survived except for one...

I am currently taking over a mixed reef tank from a friend that has recently passed away. It is a Sunbrite wifi enabled LED fixture the only way to control it is with an App. Unfortunately the App has been discontinued and I can not find it anywhere. I can't believe that this App could be...

Hey guys I could really use some input. A good friend of mine got terrible news and only has a few months left and is in palliative care. We both have established reef tanks mine is a 70 gallon and his is a 120 gallon. My friend had asked me if I would take his tank and keep his fish and corals...

How long should I quarantine it?

It's been awhile since I've posted anything so I thought I would throw up a few pics. I caught my cat licking the tank, he used to do this years ago with my freshwater tank and has started up again, like me he can be strange. Cat vid Tank Vid Tank pics

Anyone see the new reef salt by Omega Sea. I decided to give it a shot. I know the company as makers of fish food. Though I primarily feed a variety of frozen food I do keep one can of Omega One marine flake food. I feed flake food only about once a week or twice if I am lazy and don’t want to...

Howdy all it’s been awhile since my last post. It has been a very long, cold and crappy winter thank god for summer. The tank is doing well and my coral and clam growth has been absolutely stupid since I added the Maxspect LED and the WP40 + WP25 great random flow. It seems that my female clown...

Just an update of the new Jebao WP-40 sofar pretty good the fish seem to love the new flow and the Corals seems to be responding nicely. \https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVl_fjnV1Io

Well finally made the leap and went LED. After much research decided on the 160 Watt Maxspect Razor 16000K. Nice light right out of the box, easy to program and very sleek looking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LA635ucW8bo

My WP-40 came today. I know it's not a Vortech MP-40 but I'll give it a try. I am going to set it up on a smaller tank and put it through it's paces before I put it in my DT. I'll keep you guys posted on how it is working.

I am thinking of setting up a dosing system using a couple of Tom's Aqualifter pumps. Does anyone have any feedback on this? I have a RKL and would like to utilize it for dosing but I have heard that because the pump uses such a small amount of electricity that a surge protector is needed...

Hey everybody ( I actually said it like Dr. Nick as I type it out) just a quick post of the tank.

Any idea what this Nem is?

Greetings all, I have noticed some white stringy stuff in the tank lately. It is coming from the base of a Purple Mushroom. The Mushroom is attached to a small rock and in the past I have seen this substance on the rock it is attached to, and now it seems to be growing in a finger like pattern...
