    Who are all the craft beer folks in here?

    Not a big fan of Troggs, but FYI, the Scratch 307 Cherry Stout is Amazing! May be one of the best stouts I've ever tasted.

    IM Aqua Gadget Minimax reactor

    Picked one of these up for the 20g drop-off tank. Gotta say that they are incredibly well designed and easy to use. Possibly the best purchase I've made for a nano in a while. Just ordered a second for my 25 shallow reef. They're a bit of a pain to adjust with fluid media but I'm running mine...

    Bigger skimmer or automatic WC

    As small as that 1g per day WC is, the question is, will you be disciplined enough to do it? Know I'd slack off after a week or 2. But, thats me, I'm inherently lazy. Cant even see myself completing this p

    Using Drink Container for Tank

    Heya T! Hope all's well. Personally I wouldn't sweat it. I'd just rinse the container out well, maybe put in some warm water and vinegar and let it sit for an hour, rinse again and use. If I was lazy I'd skip the vinegar step. Then again I use a meat thermometer (that I use for steaks) to...

    What makes a $300 sump better than a $30 diy?

    Think of specific needs, design, design again, redesign, then get some acrylic, a scoring knife, and a tube of silicone. You get a superior personalized sump for a fraction of the cost of a generic manufactured (let alone something with such a specific build). Here's the plans for one I built...

    What do you test for and how often do you test

    Alk and Ca if something looks off with the tank (last I tested was about 3 mos ago, all was well). Salinity if I've added anything that's messed with the water level (though I'll check it bimontly or so anyway during a water change). Also have a Weber steak thermometer I stick in the tanks if it...

    Rossmont wavemakers

    I gotta stick by the Tunze NanoStream 6040s, though they list at $140 you can find them new if you dig about the net for $100-$110. I've got one in the IM dropoff, had it set at 10% pulse, but it seemed too much. Switched it to wave mode and it works fantastic, though I cant run it above 15%...
