    The pet shanty out of business

    Last weekend on the way to Feng's Reef, I saw the same thing. Charlie and his family there were awesome people to deal with. I can't belive they wen't bankrupt but I guess Fish Stores are not really profitable these days. I never knew they were facing bankruptcy and it would seem that the costs...

    Looking for ideas!!

    I've used custom king on Manhattan reefs alot. He has done about 2/3 sumps for me over the years. TBH though... nothing he did was revolutionary. Most Glass shops including the one right near Fengs Reef can cut and polish glass pieces very easily and at a great price. Siliconing Glass is...

    Bubble trap is it necessary?

    If you do get bubbles put a piece of eggcrate cage at the bottom of the last baffle to your return pump and fill it with live rock rubble. Bubbles have a hard time flowing over liverock to your return pump.

    Looking for ideas!!

    TL:DR - Long Post. Sobo, I saw your previous setup and noticed your propensity for having a Refugium. After all you gave me a nice bunch of chaeto that I still have now :) With my new system I went with absolute ease of maintenance. Everything I did was centered around maintenance being super...

    Chevron tangs from swap

    Yeah, Some of my friends call me crazy but these days when buying a new fish. I tend to run a FULL battery of tests on the water the fish came out of. I purposefully run my quarantine tank at a very low salinity... 1.015 MAX. Most fish stores are sending fish with salinity hovering around...

    I ordered fish from Petco. WhaaaaaaaaT?

    Just an update. All the fish lived except the carpenters wrasse. He died in quarantine. I was credited the full amount after a 15 minute chat on petco.com. I emailed him a pic of the dead fish in my hand and he processed the credit. None ever showed any signs of disease. With the exception of...

    Temperature is Here

    My sump is fairly enclosed. It gets very humid in there I wonder if I should cut some holes in my stand and install some computer fans to exhaust air out of there. It might make my chiller come on less. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    Well how longs it been? Are you adding any bacterial boosters or catalysts to get the bps going? When they start producing slime your basically set another indication is rapidly lowering some nuisance algae /trates Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    Dan's New 150RR Even while consuming food. As long as the return of the bio pellet reactor is in the same chamber as the skimmer it will be sucked up and processed. I stopped jamming my bio pellet output into my skimmer intake. Other than water changes what might work great for you is a...

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    The cloudy water is a bacterial bloom. As long as your skimmers on and pulling waste just wait. It's probably being caused by your pellets colonizing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I ordered fish from Petco. WhaaaaaaaaT?

    Yup!.. This is the exact process that I use. I usually keep my QT around 1.020. From there with +- 5/6 RODI Gallons I can quickly lower the salinity BEFORE adding the fish. Takes 5/10 minutes to do as long as you have the RODI handy. I usually keep the 5/6 Gallons which I further dilute untill I...

    I ordered fish from Petco. WhaaaaaaaaT?

    My quarantine tank water is around 1.020. Considering Temp Acclimation 30 Minutes Salinity shift from 1.015 to 1.020... its not an easy thing on the fish. I do it slowly. Drip 1 hr ..... I cannot use many detox products on the tank because simply it has copper in the water from the factory...

    Pics of the Tang. Some folks have asked me how I plan to make sure these 2 bad boys don't fight. Well thats simple. They will be living in a 20 gallon tank together seperated by eggcrate for a week or 2. When they stop flaring at each other they are ready. If they STILL can't get along one will...
