    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...

    Phosphates Off The Scale

    So it's always a good idea to have battery backups

    Yesterday early evening I hear a very loud buzz sound from outside and the lights started flickering. So I rushed out to make sure that nothing was wrong with the power drop or my service panel, only to find this happening on the service pole on the other side of my next door neighbor's house...

    Best Practices/Methods For Switching Salt Mix

    I was curious what would be considered the best method when switching the type of salt used. I know for most of us once we find a type of salt we're happy with we will stick with it. However, say you decide you want to go to a different blend, or type due to an issue with your current choice...

    Tank Is Off Level But Only On One Corner

    My 75g has been up for 3 months now and all has been well with it, but I noticed something is amiss the other day when I was feeding.

    Who says you need an expensive DSLR to take good coral shots.

    So I decided to upgrade my phone since my old one was confused about its station in life. I went with the LG V30 and was playing around with the manual camera mode and these are a a couple shots I managed to get of some new corals I recently added. Settings in manual mode are as follows...

    How many AI Prime HD's needed for a soft/lps tank?

    I was watching a video from BRS about the AI Prime HD lights and it got me to thinking about my lighting for the soon to be complete 75G build. Would a pair of Prime HD's work for a 75G tank? The coverage area is reported to be 24X24 per light and the 75G is 48X18X21 with a top center support...
