    Thinking of getting back in.

    Welcome back(ish). And yep, Seapora are the new Deep Blue. It is a totally different company as I understand it. Unsure if they’re using the same manufacture process or not but have heard good things about them.

    Question: cleaner shrimp and blood shrimp

    Picked up a blood at Petco for $40 a couple weeks back. As Mark said, they’re not as easy to find now and you’re going to drop $35-40 on the cheap end.

    FISH for sale

    I’ll back it up as well. These fish are huge, beautiful, and healthy. Saw them 2 weeks back. Would be all over it but think cramming them into my 30 might be a bit much.

Just wanted to introduce myself as the good looking, vastly intelligent, superior witted one who functions as the glue to hold this place together. If the others post responses trying to diminish this...

    Vibrant/ bubble algae

    Bah. Go natural. Pull the rocks out and suck the bubble algae off them, then spit them into a nearby spitoon like a man. When I'm not doing that, I'm using 1 or 2 emerald crabs. Then get some pods in there and a decent small sized cuc to maintain.

    Figured I'd update this as a progress note. So I've been dehydrating organic kale, spinach, and romaine. Never realized the time it takes to do this. To dry out, pre-freeze drying, takes about 24 hours and the leaves take a lot of space in the dehydrator, so its been about 7-8 days to dry out...

    Comon Kev, You know as well as we all do that once you add the water and fish it all goes downhill. There's tons you can do with models and mirrors now-a-days.

    Krylon Fusion paint

    Just wanted to add here, in case you go the Krylon route. The cause of problems with paint insn't the paint itself, its the VOCs the paint gives off while curing. Technically you can use any spraypaint, it just has to fully cure and that's usually where concerns are. Krylon is the paint most...

    Full spectrum food advice

    Base is going to start as a phyto/zooplankton suspension with freeze dried cyclops and rotifiers, then we work up from there. Ran some nutritional profiles on various seaweeds and I can incorporate 3 types (Alaria/Wakami, Chondrus Crispus, Laminaria) to cover the majority of the needs of the...
