    To all my east coast people

    Lol. I was going through a pretty bad time then. Hence the curtness of my message. Things have certainly worked out though. I am now rocking a 320 gallon display tank with a 75 gallon sump and a 4 foot by 2 foot frag tank from advanced acrylics. It is all plumbed to the exterior of the house...

    To all my east coast people

    Hey all. Still all settled in out here. I went to a 120 and now I'm about to install a 360 gallon tank. The reason I'm popping in now is does anybody remember who I sold my 180 to when I was leaving there? It was not a great time in my life and I just don't remember. I hope it's still up and...

    Paul's new build.

    When I set up my tank here in California I did all new dry rock. I was in the same boat as I had no rock at all from my old systems because of the moving across the country. I started to get a ton of algae before I even had anything in the tank so I took all the rock out gave it a pretty good...

    Paul's new build.

    I've found exactly this. The problem is that an oversized skimmer simply doesn't have enough proteins to interact with the air bubbles to keep it stable enough to get pushed over the top and into the collection cup. I know many people that have large skimmers that will talk about how sometimes...

    Here is a write up I did several years ago. there may be things now that are considered fine that aren't on this list but this is a good rule of thumb for plastics. there are 3 types of food safe plastics commonly available on the market. 1. HDPE (high density polyethylene, recycle code 2) is...

    Thanks guys. I was shocked the 1st time i went over to a guys house with a " fish shed". It's solved all my problems though with space issues. Mine is kind of small it's only a 4 by 8 shed. But it's all I need. Yes, I dont worry much about water spills.

    To all my east coast people

    Hi again all. I'm out of the apartment and All set up in my new home! I will be getting something larger sooner or later but the 40b is still the display tank. I have set up the infrastructure for the new tank. The layout of the house didn't allow to set up a room as a fish room. I live in a...

    To all my east coast people

    Found a used PM cr422 ca reactor. I love Precision Marine. Giving it a little TLC now as I won't need it for a while but it's good I have it. And I was wise enough to bring this beast (Aquarium plants Carbon Doser regulator) from Rhode Island.

    To all my east coast people

    I'm settling in here in California. I've been slowly building a 40 breeder tank and finally have it in my apartment and it's filling with water as I write this. It's been quite a journey. I miss you all and of course my 180 but looking forward to new things going on here. Some of you all might...

    Wifi/apex help please

    ok, I work for the cable company and do a lot with wifi. 1 thing to know is wifi really hates trying to go through water. meaning if your apex is sitting in a stand between a sump and under the tank with closed doors it MAY have spotty connection issues. that may not be the issue though. do you...

    Bleaching

    The odds are that if it's from the bottom up it's not bleaching. It's more likely it's stn/white band disease. Look into major alk swings.

HDPE (high density polyethylene, recycle code 2) is the most common because of its rigidity. Pretty much all...

    RODI for coffee

    Nope. Not unless you've got a completely steril freezer that you can pipe 2 hydrogen atoms stuck together with an oxygen into.

    RODI for coffee

    There's been a ton of debate about drinking rodi over the years. The common reasons given are thats it's mineral deficient, hypertonic, and it's acidic. It is slightly more acidic than regular water but soda, any carbonated beverage really is much lower in ph. The hypertonic argument might...
