    REEF TANK LOST POWER WHAT SHOULD I DO?!!

    Consumer Reports gigs every new car/truck that comes out for having bad reliability. Usually takes a 2-3 years before enough are actually out in the wild to get a good sample size for their surveys to be accurate. On top of that CR gets a large portion of it's donations from corporate sponsors...

    REEF TANK LOST POWER WHAT SHOULD I DO?!!

    The Ranger is gone. While I miss it, it had a water leak they couldn't ever find/fix. Got tired it if smelling like a cat box every time it rained. So I traded it in for a F150 Powerboost (Hybrid). That's the one with the inverter onboard. Its been an absolute game changer for camping and...

    REEF TANK LOST POWER WHAT SHOULD I DO?!!

    When we lose power I just hook up to my truck. It has a 7.2Kw inverter onboard and will power most of the house during extended outages. That bad storm that rolled through the other day and knocked out power for some 280K people, I was out from 6:30 pm to 3 AM. The truck only used about 1.5...

    I sent him a txt a couple weeks ago to see how things were going but he never responded to it. :confused:

    Moving Day

    Thanks for the input and offer. I was planning on picking up a couple sterilite containers with air tight lids large enough to hold the rock with a couple inches of water. I figured that would prevent splash out and keep things contained and minimize loss for the couple hours the rocks will be...

    Moving Day

    Moving day is fast approaching. I have a 75G that's been up for 6-7 years. Most of the livestock is gone and I'm down to just a hand full of fish and corals that I'll need to deal with. I do have a 20g AIO that can temporarily house them for up to a week while I get the main system moved and...

    Use tank pricing

    It's basically a seller's market right now. Doesn't matter if it's new or used with supply shortages hitting virtually everything prices go up. Many people when attempting to sell used will compare to a new item and base the price on that. Since the new item price has increased in many cases so...

    The Dreaded Dinos

    It's cool. I am actually starting to look forward to the reset. I'll be able to get the bigger tank size I've wanted with the bigger sump that it looks like we are not going to be moving now. To add to this my wife is excited about the prospect because she'll get to paint the living room once I...

    The Dreaded Dinos

    Let me take car of your tank for a couple weeks. Just from my proximity to the tank, I'll get those nutrient levels up so high they won't even register. :ROFLMAO: I have tried all the natural methods aside from nudibranchs. Sadly my wrasses would make short work of them. I have the pests nocked...

    The Dreaded Dinos

    Recently I had my third dino outbreak happen with an ongoing cyano outbreak I was treating with competing bacteria recently while the nutrients were elevated.... The past year has been hell on me and this tank with the massive continuous phosphate spike, dinos, aptasia etc etc. So much so I...

    Conditioned vs. qt

    That it is.

    Conditioned vs. qt

    Typically conditioned fish means they were likely wild caught and while have had been treated with Formalin, Prazi and/or Metro, they have not been through a full QT. Usually are shipped out within 1-2 days of treatment and may still be carriers of some types of parasites. It's strongly advised...

    Peppermint shrimp

    I've had decent success with the pepermits from Petco. They almost always have 1-2 in stock and will actively go after aptasia as well.

    ULTUM NATURE SYSTEMS- Beautiful Rimless Aquariums and Stands

    It's basically like calculating the hypotenuse of a 45, 45,90 triangle (C=A√2). For simplicity say the glass is .5" thick. So a .5" thick glass and a 45 degree measurement back from the leading outer edge would be .70". This is a +/- 41% increase in overall surface area for bonding the glass...
