Lost power a few times today. Just standing by in case the UPS backup fails on the tank. Any thoughts on what you would keep on the battery? Someone in a different forum suggested not putting lights on the battery because of how fast it drains power. What would you keep plugged in at minimum?

Very exciting.

Thanks for the story Mark. I am about to go on an annual camping trip in August that I started going to for a few years now. It’s a very anticipated event with a special feel since it has been going on for 19 years now. I can bet there will be plenty of Gimlets. Still getting used to the new...

So looks like the fish is unchanged by the freshwater bath and a week of PraziPro. I am starting to think this gill issue is permanent damage. Not sure what else to try. The clown is acting normal and eating and appears to be enjoying the company of the other clown.

Wow, sorry to hear that happened to you. I was just thinking of adding a cover to my tank in case something like that happened.

Thanks for everyone's help, going with a screen from BRS and the framing at lowes/home depot.

Awesome, looking into that one.

Hi All, Looking for advice on a DIY cover for my tank. Planning on eventually getting a pair of fire fish and they are known for jumping out. I have a hang on back overflow and have looked at solutions like eggcrate and mesh kits sold by bulk reef supply. People are saying that the eggcrate...

Maybe you can convince them you need a fish room for educational purposes that way you don't have to wait so long!

T Nice tanks, I can imagine them looking great.

How is she doing today?

There is only two on off settings for scheduling your blue and white lights. No slow ramp up/down settings. Not sure about controllers that do that.

If you look at the amazon post there is a chart for what they recommend for your size tank. I think they recommend two 165 for yours. One thing I don’t like about having two is that sometimes the clocks start to get out of sync after a few weeks by a couple seconds. Easy to recalibrate though.

2 of these maybe? Viparspectra is recommended a lot. I have a pair of them myself but don’t have any corals yet...

If you go to ACC ask them for advice. I know that if your fish is not eating that is a bad sign.

My clown is acting healthy but has protruding gills and an injured face. I put pictures in another thread here. I tried the freshwater dip. He was freaking out in the dip but when I put him back in the tank he went back to normal.

I am not so sure. I am still looking for solutions for my clownfish. Was going to try to quarantine and use Prazipro if he does not look any better. Is your fish eating?

How is she doing?

Maybe try turning it on to see if it helps? If it is what I think my fish have a fresh water bath could help. I would wait for others to chime to see what they think. I am fairly new with saltwater fish issues.
