    Florida Fighting Conchs - Question

    I need to add more CUC to my tank to take care of detritus and some uneaten food on the sand-bed. Looking at some options, I would like some that are more on the "aggressive" cleaning side. Would Florida Fighting Conch be a good option? Are there any negatives besides the size they can grow...

    Power Generator - Proper Break-In Procedure?

    OK - Got my hands on one of those Harbor Freight Predator 9000 generators. For all those of you who own these generators, what break-in method do you recommend I do? I was thinking about: 1) Go to Buckees for some non-ethanol fuel 2) 1 hour run - no load 3) Change oil with synthetic 10w-30 4)...

    Feet / Egg-crate raisers

    I would like to use some egg-crate for my frag tank, any suggestions on what can I use as raisers/feet for it? I had some 3D-Printed ones, but they were so brittle that would break so easily. Looking for alternatives and more durable.

    FedEx & UPS did it again!

    Well, both FedEx and UPS did it again! Two orders from different vendors that were supposed to be here by 10:30am and I am still waiting. I am really tired of losing livestock due to the crappy service we get in some areas. I will refrain from any more comments. [Rant mode OFF]

    Any experience with Pacific Sun CalcFeeder PRO?

    I have been doing my homework on calcium reactors and doing comparisons between a DaStaco and Pacific Sun. Not deeding a PH probe and/or a separate monitoring device to check alk level is a huge plus and the size is also a very attractive plus for the Pacific Sun since it fits under a stand. I...

    Houston LFS closing doors!

    It's really sad to have yet another LFS closing their doors to COVID-19. I know they are not a MARSH sponsor, but still sad to see them go.

    How to: Apex + Radion + Red Lights = Catch Fish?

    I need to catch one of my fish from the new tank. I would like to try turning the lights on and red after they are asleep and see if I can catch him while disoriented. I just don't know how to quickly do that as my lights are configured with Apex + WXM. Anyone knows how can I achieve this?

    Magnetic Frag Racks ?

    I am in the market for a magnetic frag rack. I am seeing horror stories about magnets getting rust, etc. Are there any brands / models to avoid? Which one(s) do you recommend? I need one that works in 3/4" thick glass.

    WXM Module discontinued by Neptune Systems!

    During the last Neptune's Live Stream, Terrence announced that the WXM is being discontinued. He explained that EcoTech has made it clear they don’t want their products to work with 3rd parties. Sadly, this was under speculation for a while after EcoTech refused to allow the WXM to control the...

    Neptune DOS vs Other Dosing Pumps

    One of the major selling points for the Neptune DOS + Apex system is that with the Apex Fusion wizard, you can tell it an amount of solution you want to dose over a length of time and the hours of the day you want it to happen and it figures it all out for you. This being said, can this be...

    HOW TO Home Made Fish Food, Anyone?

    Well, I am running out of some homemade food I bought from a fellow reefer. I mix this with cubes of brine shrimp, spirulina shrimp, Mysis, etc and my fish devours this mix. I attempted to reach out to the reefer to buy more, but no luck, so... I am willing to attempt to make my own. This being...

    RODI TDS Value

    After the boil water mandate a few weeks ago, I replaced my pre-filter as it turned brown with just 50 gallons even though it was brand new. I also replaced my whole house softener filter as well. As a precaution, I replaced the DI resin and packed it really good all the way up. Well, I turned...

    SW mix station, temperature & salinity

    I was hoping to mix some water/salt Today to make a water change to my QTs. Unfortunately, the water temperature in the containers was at 63 degrees. Since I was (am) in a hurry, I grabbed two of my 500-watt heaters & controllers and let them run. It took about 5 or 6 hours for the temperature...
