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.
Cool deal folks. Mark, great idea, I’ll give it a go. Will use nylon to avoid rust I guess. Sponge, these are 36”, Ill look into sleeves as well. Thanks to all. :)
So with my current 4 bulb T5 setup, the top of my tank is sitting in about 380 PAR, the bottom around 180. Wee bit too high.
If I remove 2 bulbs, the top drops to 160ish. BIt too low.
If I try to run 3 bulbs, which would be perfect, no dice, the circuit on the light runs bulbs in pairs.

Helping my son with his schoolwork today, about the attacks.
Twice I had to stop and walk away to collect myself.
My son saw I was upset, came out and gave me a hug, and I explained to him what I saw that day.
I won't show him the videos just now, still don't think I can ever see them again.
I'm still in shock this hasn't sold. I feel like Captain Renault in Casablanca...
If I had space I'd buy it and use it as a multiple nano tank display or a frag display with one of those big zoo meds on it.
Is this on R2R? Letgo is big now, as is FB marketplace. Aside from a stand its just a...
So, I’m running a 30g tank, 36” long. Tank is 12” deep.
4” above the tank is a 4 bulb T5 (36”/39w bulbs).
Bulb brands are mixed now, Geissman and ATI (2 blue, 1 actinic, 1 coral plus).
Two lights run from 10am to 6pm, with additional 2 kicking in from 12 to 4pm.
Some of my montis are losing...
OK, now you made me go do work ;)
My dKH is at 7.5, it hovers around that...
And my SPS is going strong...
I just try to keep the tank stable and, honestly, I hardly ever check Ca and never Mg. If I keep up with regular water changes and on the occasional check that my dKH is 7.5 +/- 0.3...
7.2 is fine, I think that’s actually pretty close to actual seawater. 10-11 is a challenge to keep in order to foster enhanced spa growth. I’m at 8 and my sps and lps grow fine.
Consistency and stability are key. If you’re tank hovers at 7.2 with ease, just keep it at or around 7.2, softies will...
If it doesn't show in a week or two just tape a plastic fork to the end of a stick, put on dramatic evil music and start stabbing the sand while laugh maniacally.
He'll probably stay above the sand at that point. Thats how fish learn.
Na. Mark has that corner monster he's having a time with.
I'm just having fun by pointing out my daily ordeals to make him feel bad.
Besides, I probably won't have time to pick it up next week as I've volunteered to help save motherless baby hedgehogs from a slaughterhouse that was planning to...
Thoughts my friend. Pain management does well if done correctly. If its back or limb pain a DO or DC can help, if its specifically low back discuss a spinal stimulator with your doc. If its general aches and pains, there's a lot of non-opoid stuff out there at the moment that's pretty potent...
I bought a coris a few years back. Assumed it died from transfer even though acclimated.
Two weeks later it showed its face. Give it time, if you don't see it in a month, consider thinking about writing it off, but don't be suprised if it shows up later.
Did Mark just steal this tank out from under me while I was out helping feed those hungry orphans?
I was planning to come home immediately after the voulunteer work, but I encountered a school bus that hit a deer then veered into a road trip of nuns in a minivan. Fortunately I was able to...
I should have bought 8, as I went through at least 8 of them in childhood.
'Where's Dad?'
'He quit work to design ramps in the back yard'
Mwaaahaahahaahaaaaaaa!

Model citizen for a clown. Pretty chill. Would do well with another single clown but NO more.
Raised from pinkynail size, now 3yo and will fit in palm of hand, healthy, eats everything, never aggressive. Actuallly had to split from a small clown group as though she was largest, she was...
