    Mechanical Filtration

    I'm curious if any besides me run their tanks without any means of mechanical filtration? My display dumps down directly into my sump with no filter sock or other method of mechanical filtration. I suppose all I have is my water changes (roughly 25% once per month usually). When I perform...

    Basement flooring

    I’m in the process of refinishing my basement and researching flooring options. I’m currently leaning towards using this dimpled vapor barrier underlayment, and then laying vinyl or laminate plank flooring over it. My question is, how would this hold up with a heavy aquarium on top? I have no...

    Tankmate for Aggressive Clown

    I've had my maroon clownfish for about 13 years now. Throughout those years I cannot tell you how many other tank mates I've gone through. Many "mysteriously" perish within the first few days, while others sometimes last a handful of years. No rhyme or reason as to which tank mate my clown will...

    Any Koi Pond owners?

    Anyone own one? I've thought of getting one made for years now but don't really have much clue as to the cost, care & maintenance required, what to do in winter, etc. I'd be interested to hear what other owners have to say and/or any good resources for me to learn (ie. book, website, etc that...

    RFA moved into shaded area

    Two of my rock flower anemones have now decided to move into back left corner of tank, which is very shaded area. I believe they footed through the sand and onto bottom glass. I fear they won’t get enough light back there and also it’s a crappy spot for viewing. Should I just dig under the sand...

    TritonLab Test

    https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/icp-oes-testing-kit-triton-1.html I'm considering getting it done, more out of curiosity of my tanks params than anything, but wondering if it's just a waste of money. Anyone have experience getting these tests done, and if so, how has it helped?

    Heavy RODI maintenance

    Ahhh feels good to finally get to doing some deep RODI maintenance. Removed every filter and sanitized the whole system. Added new membrane, all new filters, and replaced all DI resin. Fixed a couple of slow leaking fittings. Affixed labels with today’s date to better keep track of filter...

    Which to trust?

    So I just purchased a new refractometer as my old one was somewhat broken inside and hard to see any reading below 1.020. Despite this, it did still “work” and I could see readings at the 1.026 level which is what I aim for. So when I got my new one from BRS I first calibrated it using their...

    burnt tips

    Is it possible for SPS tips to bleach/burn if exposed to air for about an hour? I did a water change last weekend, and the top of my birdsnest now shows white tips only on the top branches that would have been exposed. I still see some polyps on the tip, it's pretty much the flesh on the branch...

    Anyone have a majano wand or laser?

    Noticed what appears to be a small majano in my tank. I'd hate to waste money on a laser to be used once (hopefully), so if anyone has one to borrow or "rent"? TIA.

    Salifert Alk Test Kit Question

    I have a Salifert Alk test kit that does not expire until 2020, however I suspected the reading was off since my Alk level tested pretty low. I ran the check solution that came with the kit and it was off -1.6dkh. Question... Is it safe to continue using the kit to test and just add 1.6dkh to...

    Zoos prefer blue over white?

    So for a month or so two of my zoa frags have been closed, some polyps peaking open slightly every now and then. They are not melting which I suppose is a good sign, but not opening or spawning either. One observation I've had though is that they seem to open a bit more early and late in the...

    Hitchhiker explosion!

    So a week or so ago I noticed this guy (errr girl?) was perched atop a rock and spewing out stuff. Now I have probably 100 tiny babies all over glass!
