    She's a bit too smart for that, she also has a good idea what things cost, which i have to set aside an equal amount for her as well.

    Return pump

    If you don't find a good used option, look into waveline dc pumps. They are controllable, apex ready if you have one, and mine has been working great.

    Mini Fridge

    i know most condenser setups use copper tubing, i'm unsure if it will leach or not, i've never looked into it. if that doesn't work some sturdy tubing like you would use on a reactor, the plastic stuff, might work as long as it doesn't kink. beyond that i'm unsure at this time. do you have a...

    Vacation Prep- Newbie needs advice

    What kind of fish do you have? An auto feeder is a cheap and good investment, when i left my tank for 3-4 days i bought an eheim and had it feed the tank once a day with NLS pellets. If you don't have demanding fish like i did at the time, a once a day feeding would be more than enough, i...

    I'd me

    i'd say peppermint, but they've been known to piss off and even eat or tear up some lps corals. i know i had two that would piss off my acans and even ate a feather duster. anytime i would feed the tank, if lps got a hold of some food, they would be on top of them pulling the food out of their...

    Well, here's what i found with bryopsis. First time i was carbon dosing and had gfo online when i dosed tech m, melted away. Second time i dosed tech m in this tank, no carbon dosing or gfo, nothing happened, added 2 gallons. Started dosing vodka and put gfo back online for about a month to see...

    How long do you keep refugium lights on?

    i do a reverse cycle as well, from 8pm to 8am, ph is still going to swing, mine will swing less once i get everything settled in. 24/7 is not good as the algae goes through a phase at night where it uses oxygen as well, i'm not sure the specifics, but i'm sure you could look it up.

    Fish Food

    I think i spent maybe 15 bucks on frozen fish food and 15 on frozen seafood at walmart, i only used half the frozen seafood so i still have half of it left, and i made three flat gallon size freezer bags out of it. i would say those three bags probably cost me 20-25 total, when you consider the...
