I know that this has been brought up in other posts but what is the general consensus of swapping out a protein skimmer for an algae scrubber to use in conjunction with the floss and chemical bags?

Following as an I’m having a terrible time with micro bubbles from my skimmer and would love to ditch it if I could.

Picked up my frag pack the other day. Great looking frags and the packaging was top notch as well. Nice meeting you, Thanks again!

Looking great so far. I may recommend running the drain pipes parallel to the back wall and 90 over to the sump Instead of diagonal across the sump. It might make it easier to service the sump as well as making the second manifold useful in the future. I’m sure more experienced people will have...

Most electronics we buy aren’t exposed to saltwater therefore we can be a bit more lax on whether it had the UL listing IMO. I’ve had the black box lights in the past and I chose a used Hydra over them for the ease of use. Also I’ve heard of complete replacements on the big brands when things...

I’m not sure that they’ll ever give them much credit. They really don’t like the fact that they’re not UL listed nor do they come with much of a warranty (if at all).

I’m really enjoying this thread (mostly because I’m jealous and my wife won’t let me get a 120 YET lol). Best advise I can give with the pvc is cut and piece it together as you go. Dry fit it and don’t glue anything yet. Then once you like what you’ve done, then start gluing 1 piece at a time...

Interesting. Thanks Paulie for the info

I’ve thought about this before but I’ve read that there are too many pollutants close to shore to put into a small tank. Do you filter your sea water before you put it in your tank? I would definitely use the real sea water if the pollutants weren’t an issue.

Happy Birthdays!

Happy Birthday @DangerDave!

Would totally love a pack but my tank is only 3 months old. Maybe I can PM you in a few months of you have some available again.

True but if your neighbor were going to reinforce the floor anyway what’s an extra 5-10lbs. Just account for the extra couple pounds that I could add onto myself in a week

Since your neighbor is so handy, perhaps he can cut out you’re hardwood floor under where you want the tank and he can install tile. That could help solve that concern.

Great catch Paulie!

I’ll take the icecap ato and heater.

It looks like a sand crab. We used to catch them as kids when the water receded.

Pm me if interested.

I hope everyone (and their livestock) are surviving ok. My power only flickered and is on so if anyone needs, I have a generator they can borrow for the time being. I’m in central jersey.

Congratulations!
