    Majano Wand or High powered laser for aiptasia removal

    This is pretty neat, although the battery life is pretty short. I wonder if there is a DC powered one out there.

    Feeding via the return pump and auto feeder

    No manifold, 1 pump to the return. I did this to keep a stable herbie return. It's incredible how quiet this return method is, I have about 900 gph flowing and no sound at all at the DT.

    Feeding via the return pump and auto feeder

    Paul - yes the sight of the auto feeder on the tank. What you wrote was what I was thinking. I guess there is a remote chance that the pump can get choked up, but I have a iwaki 55, and there are far bigger things which sometimes get through the sump. I guess it comes down to how much one...

    Feeding via the return pump and auto feeder

    ah, good point. I was thinking the pellets are so small it wouldn't really matter. I guess I'm back to the auto feeder sitting on top of the tank. Maybe after I'm up and running I'll build a dedicated delivery system with a cheap pump to the DT.

    Feeding via the return pump and auto feeder

    I've been successfully used an auto feeder on my 45 for many years, but never really liked the sight of it sitting on top of the tank. I was wondering if anyone has tried feeding into the return area of the sump and having the return pump supply the food to the DT? I realize that some of the...

    Steve's back...10 Gallon Nano!

    Wait till both Ammonia and Nitrite are zero, then do a water change as your nitrate will be high, then add fish or ghost feed. I just did a fish and shrimp less cycle with Dr. Tims. His directions are to do one more test to make sure ammonia/nitrite can be process within 24 hours, but I guess...

    New 420 gal Plus reef tank build in m y sunroom

    Thats a great plan. If you run a siphon drain, you'll be getting a lot of exercise going up and down the stairs to adjust it. Its the only negative on the set up. I had my first self induced water accident last night and I didn't really worry about ruining the flooring, just got some rags and...

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    When I dryscape, I try to think of what it will look like in the future. What will go on it, what will it look like when it grows out. What are the plans for the pillar? Not a lot of shelf space for a frag and if a plate type coral grows on it, it might become unstable. If your planning to...

    BRS has been hacked

    Seems as BRS has been hacked and cc info stolen. There are posts on RC about it. Keep an eye on your cc activity if you have shopped with them these past few months.

    Dan's 150 Rebuild

    I can't speak of long term reliable, but I had the same problem. I went with 2 of the Finnex Electronic Controller Aquarium Heater w/Titanium Tube 300w. Decent reviews on Amazon and it was short. I would use a controller for any heater. have you tried the mesh (not felt) socks? Much more...

    Make sure you get the heavy duty stuff, the ones normally carried at HD are the thinner ones and don't hold up.

    Thanks, although right after I posted this, a square fell off. I used JB Weld on it, I'm thinking I have some oil on the acrylic. I'll have to sand it down and try again.
