So, the 30g is settled down and I’ve got 2 interesting personalities. My urchin prefers live camouflage and seems to always be covered in small ceriths and macroalgae... And I’ve got an orchid dottyback thats adopted his own coral, which he insists on filling with sand. Took this pic just...

I have a small Waterbox setup from a couple years back when they started. The skimmer failed and was tossed, the heater failed 'on' in about 3 days and raised the tank to 85 before I caught it, and the included LED has about 6-7 LEDs non-functioning at this point. Initial plans were to use it as...

My enemies. And sometimes I'd go to a food store and buy 1-2 shrimp, a scallop, or a pice of any saltwater fish (most whitefish, fluke, flounder). I chop this up and use as food and he'll grab chunks as they float by. If you're patient and start feeding him from a skewer with a small (1/4"...

Think that glass thing is a myth. I had mine in a 40g, he was about 5-6" long and a clubber. He hit the side of the tank a number of times when I got too close or during feeding but it was never a worry. Knowing they burrow, I did put a piece of that plasticy art board material on the bottom of...

Gimme a few more days. I’ll look into colors. Usually the place does a blue and black run for me to keep it simple. Maybe we can run a navy and pink run this time. I’ll talk to the printer on Wed and get prices, colors, etc.

Agree with controller and multiple heaters. I need about 100-120w to get my tank to temp. I use 2x 75w with each set to 80 then set them in the temp controller and set that at 79. If one malfunctions ‘on’ the controller will shut down, if the controller fails, the second heater’s dial prevents...

Cool deal. I had one for a couple years and it never bothered fish or inverts. I knew where it had a ‘lair’ in the rocks and every few days would put a small cube of fish on a skewer. He eventually would come to the lair entrance and wait dor me at feeding time. If its not killing anything and...

Gimme a few days to tie some misc stuff up and I’ll start an order thread.

Yep. Currently have a bunch of live rock if you need any. $0 per pound. Didn't you pick up that giant shelf piece?

Cool deal, and grats to your wife on holding her temper and waiting so long. Glad this is finally resolving. :)

That many shims seems to put a lot of structural on/off pressure to the base and may start digging into that hardwood. If its that unlevel and a rubber mat wont do the trick, what about some of the higher end rubber mats made for underneath gym machines? I'm not talking the cheap foam ones, I'm...

Thanks to GA for the macro yesterday. Most appreciated. Saying that, I now have some Caulerpa available in Brick 08724 if anyone is interested.

Know theres a few electronics types in here so I figured I’d dig for some help. Here’s what I need to do. I need to hook up a battery pack with an on/off switch. Pack needs to be 9-12v and is no problem, nor is the switch. When the circuit is closed I need it to power a small bank of 5-6 LEDs...

We're evolving as we go. The standard PLA filament, which is great outside water, is questionable in salt water. Though it is cornstarch based, it does degrade, and depending on the quality, may contain 'unlisted' ingredients. I have this in my own tank, but... We're looking into more reef-safe...

Argh, I may have to drop off the live rock I have in a bucket as well. Not going to be around Friday evening, I'm going to be going through torture at a bourbon and cigar night, even worse, I have to eat a 5 course mignon meal beforehand. If anyone is into self torment... Bourbon and Cigar Night...

Mark, I'll pick up the powerstrip tomorrow and drop off a powerhead if you need one. Mike, I'm 5 mins from Mark and Petco is between us. Pick up the rock from Mark. If you need more, swing by the Petco first, then stop here to top up on rock and drop off my powerhead.

So, here’s an offer to the club that other clubs might salivate at. As we now have 3 extremely good looking, sexy, witty members who own 3d printers, we’ve had a chat amongst ourselves regarding a new option for club members. With 3d printing comes a huge opening for creativity in tanks, from...

Is it a Reef Questionable Invert Killing Demon Fish?

Thanks my friend. I actually have one of those hanging about somewhere. I just need a simple automated pump to dose 5-7mm per day.

I can offer no more than $30,000 and a speedboat.
