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.
Dave, MrX, think you guys mentioned you run them.
For you, and anyone else - When using the pump and your storage container is full, do your pump cycle on and off every few seconds?
I thought I had a bad pump, customer service (customer service at AL is fantastic) sent me another. I hooked it...
If this is BRS they're doing the same pricing with free shipping on orders over $29 at the moment.
I just picked up 2 blue plus 36" for $38 with free shipping.
Would be happy to order another 4 bulbs if you need to bulk up the order at all to hit a discount, lemme know!
Lemme dig through my sump and overflow tomorrow. I know I have aptasia as I found a few a couple weeks back.
If anyone can chime in on aptasia removal - razor blade or credit card - would appreciate.
If I find and am able to gather some, I have some decent rubble rocks (liverock) as well.
I went with these on a number of previous tanks and will happily use them in the future (and currently have one on a 40b going on 3 years now)...

They also come with a hard plastic drilling template for the tank.
CPR also does some high quality build, over...
Get a CD, tie a string through the hole, hang it from a branch or a pole over or next to the pond.
Wind blows the CD, CD spins and shines and reflects light, birds get scared away due to the movement.
Started doing this 2 years ago and the local heron hasn't taken a fish since.
They are dead, about 60% of the order.
Contacted John who happily agreed to a refund. Just waiting on it to come through, will keep you folks informed.
Welcome aboard!
Nice setup.
Im in the 'Go with a sump 100%' group. Eshopps makes a hang on back overflow that is pretty darn reliable (I used them for years never a worry)).
Then you can cut out that CPR hang on fuge and just build one into the sump.
For a 50g you dont need anything crazy, you...
Dude,
Keep the tank as a 'pest tank' and don't do anything to it, just run an ato and throw any odd frag or piece of rock in it.
Started my pest tank 2 years ago with some aptasia, no water changes, no skimmer, no fuge.
Two years later I have some insane mushrooms, multiple types of zoa, and an...
Beautiful setup!
Unfortunately this hobby is a live and learn situation. If you cycled the tank for those 4 months with the rocks and some sort of additive (a few pinches of food occasionally, a dead shrimp from Shop-rite, or even urine) in that amount of time it should have cycled. Those rocks...
Didin't know you were trying to salvage it. Problem is the saltwater, it corrodes solder.
If the salt water has been sitting inside it for this long, it will eventually kill the remaining circuts.
Best bet if this ever happens in the future is to run the fixture under tap water to flush it out...
Wasn't shutting off. Realize I need a separate check valve for the membrane out. Not a big deal, quick Amazon order, though a note in the description, 'If you're buying this to use with our RODI Buddy, get a frickin check valve', would have been welcome.
Used to take the better part of a day for...
Humble, the packaging is fine, just like the Live Aquaria was. Just odd that there's such a loss (though LA had the trocus prepacked in 25 per bag bundles).
Diana, ACC usually doesn't carry ceriths, or at least they didn't in the past, I always went through Reefcleaners for them.
