Wish my tank was big enough, but no way I could have a 24" fish! Really pretty as they get older.

I had a male blue throat, big guy ("Chompy"). Had a great personality, could hand feed him. But he did occasionally take bites out of my clams, and he'd move things around. Big things. Pull glued frags off rocks and drop them in cracks I couldn't reach. He was a giant pain. He was 9" or so. I...

I just went there this weekend, talked to one of the owners. It is a small place, but high density. He had four 8-9" clams, and a beautiful black Maxima. Lots of fungia. Healthy looking fish, including some tank bred mandarins (babies, super cute). Not much for sps at the moment, but he says...

Thanks! Yeah, it ended up being a monster! I'm bummed that I didn't notice the inverter isn't sure sine... It wasn't cheap, and about 10% more would have given me that. Oh well! It runs the wifi no problem!

Battery backup is fully online and ready. Had a bit of a scare after the first night I hooked it up: it's connected to a 20amp line, but the transfer switch had a 15A fuse. That popped overnight, so the few circuits that run in UPS mode switched over to inverter power. This included all my...

New panorama of the tank.

I just upgraded to Tapatalk 2, and they fixed the issue so it doesn't bounce out to Safari for these images... Yay! Worth the upgrade.

Sneak peak of all the "Pixar Presents: Flushing Dory" tanks arriving in 2015.

We don't want to think about your rubber parts.

Pretty fish! Fins seem pretty beat up though... Did your wrasse do that?

Not possible if the intake is submerged and there isn't a tiny leak in the intake line. No place for the air to come from.

The avast ATO works by pressure sensor. I have two avast pressure sensors, one for ATO, and one on my skimmate container. The one on the skimmate container uses a bigger tube than the ATO, and I find it is more sensitive. With the less sensitive pressure switch, your water level needs to...

Yah, well said. Best way to save money is to DIY things, but don't go cheap with DIY... If that makes sense. Do the best you can with DIY, you'll come in around the same cost as the cheap prebuilt. Though the cost there is time time time. Also, not all the Apollo LEDs are US-made. For instance...

Picked it up from the post office today, fired it up, looks great! Thanks!

Colts Neck, I see it now.

Where are you located? I'm interested in the Achilles.

I don't have anything like that on my reef, but I've built some non-fish projects with those strip LEDs. I doubt they have enough power to grow anything. It says 100 lumens/foot. A 60w incandescent light has about 800 lumens. You can look right at them and not be blinded. They run at very low...

Good info!

Yup, that's right Paul. I was fixing my first post so folks could see the code they should fix. What a wonderful world it will be without those URL tags!

Don't respond yet, trying to escape the tags so folks can read em.
