    Back in the game

    Hey there! Welcome aboard (again!)! Got any pics of what we’re working with here? I love a good 75g build. Awesome footprint, imo.

    What other hobbies do you have?

    Flipside's Planet 268g - My First "New" Aquarium

    7/10 Does the job very well. The top cap is a bit flimsy (just the bubble/dome thing). Other than that, pretty good skimmer really. I like the dc pump a great deal

    Flipside's Planet 268g - My First "New" Aquarium

    Heeeyyyyyy yoooou guyyyys! Well it’s been awhile since I updated… no clue what to go into because I’m too lazy to read back on what I have reported… so, Cliff Notes… 1. GHL replaced with Apex + Trident. 2. CWT Aquatics sump for the CWS. 3. Barely use the skimmer anymore. Gotta feed a lot to...

    Who owns a Trident and would you buy one again?

    I just recently got one and still dialing it in. I like how much it tests but will change it when I get my parameters where I want them. I just removed the GHL… like Chuck said in another thread… I really wanted to love it, but it wasn’t for me. Right now, I have it hooked up to my “86ed Tank”...

    Aquarium Equipment Failure

    For me, I've had a float switch fail on for the ATO reservoir. It was the first time I've ever seen a mechanical float switch do this (I'm like the poster boy for gravity fed systems, until recently). I figured it wouldn't happen because it only touches RODI... boy, was I wrong! To remedy, I...

    Show off you RO system!

    Cool thread! I'll post mine up a little later. :)

    $2500 Whole house natural gas generator build list.

    Why am I not surprised to see the King of the K.I.S.S. Principle posting a thread like this. 😁 Glad your back, C! Hoping you’re glad to be back; especially considering where you and your family were! I’m working on doing this mod to my house too. I luckily wasn’t impacted by the recent storm...

    Heater controllers

    Here’s the one I just recently started running. So far so good. Two Finnex heaters on it with an outlet adapter for the heat plug. Pretty accurate and decent reviews. The guys that turned me on to it hate the Inkbirds. I don’t remember what they were on about though… 😂

    Calcium RX setup

    That’s actually what a lot of folks do. And there isn’t anything wrong with it. The only problem that occurs is you’ll have to put a valve (of some nature) on the tube that exits the reactor so that you can drip the right amount into the system. Again… no big deal if you maintain the valve. A...

    Calcium RX setup

    Hi guys! I know I'm a little late to the party, but I've been distracted with another hobby and was working on clearing out round two of hair algae woes. Dang Sugar Land water! :poop: Any way... just some background on me for this topic. I've been solidly reefing since around 2007 - 2008...

    BRS acquired Marine Depot

    Yeah, and I should also say that I asked them about the price hike... they told me that the manufacturers are charging more for shipping, which makes sense due to what's happened to the cost of materials over the course of the past year and 3-4 months... I get that. What I don't get is why...

    BRS acquired Marine Depot

    I'm not sure what to think of this one. I used MD a lot and "some" stuff through BRS. I was going to buy a particular sump from BRS recently. As I was chatting with a rep there, to get specific dimensions for my ATS, I was just about to pull the trigger. I got called away, for work, so went...

    Flipside's Planet 268g - My First "New" Aquarium

    Sorry man! Been swamped! Ozone is offline as my ORP has been above 300 with no issues (pretty clear). This is just with my UV online (changed the bulb last week) and switching my nutrient export to more old school methods.... Caulerpa to be specific. A nice young lady on this site hooked me...
