    Free stuff needs to go ASAP

    May be interested in some of the equipment for the new tank (and can drop off that mini-fuge if you're still interested).

    Raccioppi83's 40 Breeder Reef

    Tank looks good! Those 40Bs are, i think, a fantastic aquascaping tank. And an overkill skimmer is an efficient one. Really like the fact that your shop has a 'construction table' and you can photo in the scape to your tank. Those Hydra lights are nice, running a set of the 26HDs on my 25g.

    Disappointed in this thread. Based on title I thought you were going to ask me to the prom.

    SYNCRA SILENT 4.0 PUMP

    Yep. I used to use Mags then after trying Syncs I haven't looked back. The sound of the overflow is 3 times the volume of the pump. One of the big comments I get on my tanks from other reefers is how quiet they are.

    Mark's IM 20g

    Thanks much! Filled it and dropped a lot of biomedia in from other tank as well as some Special Bend. Got the first diatome breakout already, 6 days in, its cycling a bit quicker than expected.

    High tech low speed

    Reef tanks only need patients if they have surgeonfish. :) But agreed. When I started it was all about machines and testing. Now its about; are my lights set well (aka 'lets try this for a few days'), did I do a small water change (every week or two), is my flow still optimal (finger in front...

    Who doesnt do water changes?

    In the nano systems with a 10% a week (a 5g bucket covers both my 20s and my 10) I haven't bothered checking anything in over a year. All is well. And I do miss the odd week every so often. If I see something off with the corals (some acting out of sorts or staying closed for extended periods)...

    Who doesnt do water changes?

    I do 10% once a week. I’ve gone for much longer but, during those times, tend to lose growth and even have some corals (softies) receed. Since getting back in the habit of 1x per week, just to keep alk and nutrients boosted, i’ve seen a considerable rebound in coral color and growth.

    Thinking of returning to the hobby

    Hey Paul, You're doooooooooommmmmeeed. But you already know that. I dropped from a 85g and a 90g to the nanos. I'm doing a number of IM nano tanks at the moment (10, 20, and 25). Each has a simple ATO, 2x50w heaters, upgraded media baskets, and the one with SPS has an upgraded pump, thats it...
