Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Thank you!! I'm so glad to have someone that I would trust back up my thoughts. A lot of the people telling me that it was ammonia poisoning were fairly new members, which I know doesn't mean new to the hobby, but there's no way to tell their credibility. I already lost one fish in the tank and...
I posted on R2R as well so I apologize if any of you are seeing this twice, I'm just very concerned as a new fish parent.
Today I started to observe my fish in QT properly, I never bothered much before because they came from a system with low dose copper and I figured that it would take a while...
Thanks @Mark_C @diana a and @harthag12 , you're right it was several very long days I'm ready to be done but I still have my mess everywhere... maybe it'll clean up itself if I wait long enough.
It's in!
Friday I disassembled the old tank and put everything in tanks and buckets, Saturday brought the tank up and started filling it, finished today. That's a whole lot of water.
The last of the little tank.
Making a huge mess.
Our new floor, no more painted plywood for us!
And a...
Yes I do plan to wait it out before getting anything as sensitive as a star or anemone, I'm really trying to iron out the compatibility issues so I don't get a random fish now that might mean I can't get something that I want more but can't get just yet. I heard a lot about aggression with...
Hearing experience is good. I'm really thing to find fish that are going to end up being swimmers to the tank. That and I love Bubbles from Finding Nemo ;)
So far a lot of my favorite fish are ones that are sort of 'chiller's', like the clown goby, fish that pick a spot and stick with it so it...
I'm getting my 75 gallon running and am trying to polish off my stocking list.
I already have
2 clownfish (not sure if ocellaris or perc)
1 Kaudern's Cardinal
1 Neon Goby
1 skunk cleaner shrimp
1 peppermint shrimp
6 (?) ghost/grass shrimp
hermits, snails, an unidentified crab,
I want to...
Thanks @Juano908 @Mrx7899x and @diana a I'm really excited for it to finally come together, all I need is to go get more sand and wait for an amazon order!
Now for a picture heavy post update on the past week. Finished up the cabinet- I'll post a final reveal of it once it's in it's spot. But this was the progress over the past week.
I also received a box of rocks! I ordered a 50 pound box of rocks from Reefcleaners, it was shipped on Monday, I...
Tomorrow is the big day Part One!
Tomorrow the 29 gallon gets disassembled. I have buckets, 2 10 gallon tanks, and some storage containers. Rocks, and sand are planned for some of them. CUC and corals are going to go in a 10 gallon with a nice hairy rock for them to work on. Skimmer is going to...
I did find an empty turbo snail shell today when I moved a rock to scrub it. It was perfectly cleaned out though. As for the algae it doesn't exactly come off easy from the base but I could scrub at it and get some of the long stuff off. I also haven't seen my other 2 turbo snails, and 2 of my...
I’ll see my grass shrimp eating some on occasion they just mow down a little spot. I think it’s Calothrix since it’s not slimy, I do have red Cyano as well. And a dozen (it seems) different kinds on my glass. I have a little spot of purple coraline starting, and all over the front is tiny...
ReefCleaners is out of the urchin I was going to get and only has one that gets 4 inches and it'd likely be too big for my tank, then I'd need to worry about securing my rock work so maybe an urchin in the future. For now I'm just going to stick with the snails, my tank has an abundance of...
Thanks everyone, it sure is a beast. It weighs more than the empty tanks and it’s not even covered yet. I had my dad get 2x3s for the canopy and the side cabinet. We cut them in half for the canopy and left them whole for the side cabinet since I’m going to be putting shelving in there. This...
Silicone seems to be a bit not right still. I'm thinking it just hasn't cured all the day since it doesn't stick, but I had to scrape off a couple of blobs that I spilled and it was still wet in there so I'm hoping it'll all cure soon. I decided that drilling a 10 gallon and all that's involved...
So my mom said my stand needs to under a certain size which means I need to do an all in one sump instead of connecting multiple tanks together. At least I didn't buy a drill and bulkhead, thank you for the offers and suggestions though!
Hi I might be looking to drill a tank depending on how my plans work out, I don’t really mind the size I haven’t gotten a bulkhead yet. Does anyone in the area have one that I could buy or borrow?

Thanks for the input on the ATO everyone. I plan to use my aqua lifter for my ATO which was why I was wondering about the sensor that I linked. I guess since I've just been doing my own top offs since my bucket and tank are right next to each other that it didn't seem like much, but I suppose...
