    Tesla solar panels experience

    Hey @foos what software platform are you using for that big visual dashboard? I don’t see that in my Tesla app. :)

    Powder Blue Tang

    I have one along with yellow and hippo in a 180. It was added after the others and the yellow is the king of the tank, but I saw it challenge the yellow being even smaller. Consistent with the aggressive nature of this fish as others have mentioned which means it maybe be one of the last fish...

    Galveston peppermint shrimp trip???

    Awesome. Post some of those nems under some blues to see if they're colorful. I had to google warty and appears to be brownish, but give it whirl!

    Two Little Fishies ReBorn Calcium Reactor Media

    Time for me to reup on media and noticed this thread. Was about to order Reborn which is what I’m using now, but this does look much much smaller. How did it work for you or did you go the arm route?

    Tesla Solar/Powerwall for Tank/Home Backup

    I looked at Hubitat for a few mins this morning and it looks like that's one of the main differentiators being local. Interesting and tempting, but I'm also lazy to spend the time to swap ecosystems with the large number of devices I have on SmartThings. I literally have almost all wall...

    Tesla Solar/Powerwall for Tank/Home Backup

    I was able to do this last night with my SmartThings after you reminded me that I wanted to do this.. =) It's painless with SmartThings as well and literally took about 20 mins. Most of that 20 mins was figuring out I had to download an IOS app that would generate the authentication token from...

    Petco...I know, I know

    They get their price sheet weekly and yes it can be significantly cheaper. You'll just have to ask to see that week's price sheet to see what they can order. For example, I ordered an Orange shoulder tang $35 from their price sheet. =)

    Tesla Solar/Powerwall for Tank/Home Backup

    I'm also a Tesla solar user started back in Q3 2020. So is another reefer here and we've been comparing sell back plan actuals vs what our homes consume. Granted our systems are very different. I'm on 16 kW system + 2 PW for whole-house backup and like @chrisfoos I keep a low reserve because...

    Petco...I know, I know

    Pro tip. They will order fish for you from their wholesaler: Quality Marine. Same wholesaler as liveaquaria, and many LFS. They'll call when it arrives and pick them up in the blacked out QM bags before it enters their system. Ordered 4 lyretails $25 each. Picked up in bag and happy fish...

    clean chaeto is it really that important?

    I decided to try and clean it myself when I upgraded my tank. Took only a very small out of greenest healthiest of my old chaeto. Dipped it including FW dip and watched all the bugs fall off. Observed best I could to make sure it’s as clean as I could. ...Then off to growing. So far it’s stayed...

    Box fish

    I've read about the toxin risk, but in the same vein have not read anyone has wiped out a tank from one of these guys. This is probably the biggest deterrent and probably why we don't see more tanks with them. Hence the inquiry for anyone has cared for one.

    Box fish

    Has anyone locally been successful at these? I think there are two types in the trade: longhorn cowfish and cube spotted box fish. The cowfish is will get much larger fast, so leaning towards the more manageable cube boxfish. Not much information out there on these cute creatures. Looking...

    What size should my new tank build be?

    Great tip because its tapes well. I made my jig by drilling the hole first in thin wood sheet and taping that, but I think I might have dulled out the diamond bit unnecessarily going through plywood first. The wood jig did walk a bit because it didn't tape well. Still drilled fine, but maybe...

    In a new build now.. so will be very appreciative for any of those unused coupons. =) Thanks,

    What size should my new tank build be?

    I drilled successfully my first and ever Aqueon 40B years back. Piece of cake, but I think I would be a bit more hesitant on a nicer expensive tank. A screw up there was only $40 not $400+. And who knows.. maybe the thicker 3/4 inch is easier to drill with less risk to shatter.
