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.
There is a much easier way to get this move done moving a tank can be accomplished in 1 day. Setting up the maxi jets will not work. Make around 90 gallons of fresh saltwater. At 8:00 siphon all the water you can from your system before moving any rock work, removing corals and placing same...
Gfo can be fully saturated in 24 hours. I would check phosphate with a meter. Then check effluent of the reactor. Replace when equilibrium is met. Turning the lights off will not solve the problem unless you are removing the nutrients.
Tend to agree w hcker99 we've done tons of lrg scale changes (even between brands of salt) and have never had wipe outs such as this...my guess is it had something to do with silicone which leads to the question of why are you using something not intended for aquarium use? why dont you just buy...
I started writing out a long complicated post about using 2 different levels and a tape measure. Using them to calculate shim heights and adding them all up, and then making custom shims. However, if the left to right is fine, and it is only off front to back.... just lower or raise the back a...
Its close, but throw some shims under the stand and get it right.
Paul, trims can be way off. Always level the bottom glass and then check the sides for plumb. If your tempered bottom is warped by a 1/4 inch get a new tank. If it is rimless you can level the top, but always take the other 2...
I would have to agree, a fish group buy would be a logistical nightmare. You would need to find 2 stores that work with the same vendor, and be willing to make decisions fast as availability quickly changes. Second you would need to coordinate every member to meet at the store of their choice...
The reason I don't have a tank at home is I wanted a 180 tetra tank, and the wife said no... She wants tons of coral. I'm excited to see the switch over. I'll come for a beer and bring you the lamp eyes (can't have a tetra tank without them)! If you need a hand give me a call.
