    Where to buy Ecotech wetside assembly locally?

    my mp40 keeps falling down after a few minutes/hours. I opened it, cleaned it, and soaked it for a day, no change. I don't see any visual cracks or anything wrong in the wet side assembly, and I just feel a lot of friction/resistance when trying to rotate it by hand. Either way, looking for a...

    My Yellow Tang breathing too fast?

    Wow, I wish I had read more about it before I went through with the purchase. I did want to support a captive-bred fish, so I guess it is what it is.

    New LFS Oceans to you aquariums

    I was just there yesterday, the owner said it's been open for 6months. I haven't been to many LFS here in Houston, so I don't necessarily have the best reference point. It looked very clean up front, had a decent selection of fishes(most looked healthy), and few corals in the back as well...

    My Yellow Tang breathing too fast?

    I have had it for about a month now, I am not sure why it would be scared. Will have to look more into it, it eats well, goes for algae all the time that is clipped. Maybe the reflection? I have dried nori clipped, its usually gone within a day.

    My Yellow Tang breathing too fast?

    I think the blue tang does seem to be, but It's hard for me to get a good feel for what is considered high. It's a relatively new tank, and the fish were quarantined before addition; where would parasites come from? Should I do a water change, or what should be my line of defence here?

    https://www.veed.io/view/cb74d888-c58c-47ee-8e55-78d14bf297c1?sharingWidget=true&panel=share What do you guys think? My parameters look okay; the only things that are maybe high are Nitrates(10-15) and Phosphates(0.08). The rest are in acceptable range.

    Tank temperature rising, trying to figure out why

    If the functionality(return rate) isn't being impacted, could it still be getting stuck? and what you would do to check.

    Tank temperature rising, trying to figure out why

    I have one for my pizza maker, I've been using that to verify tank temps are accurate. Never thought of checking the pump. good point ac definitely turning on less, but ambient temps are still around the same. You do have a good point about AC because although the tank is in the living room...

    Tank temperature rising, trying to figure out why

    Hello people! As the title states, my tank temps are rising without any possible explanations. The tank itself is FOWLR for now. The equipment inside the sump is vectra m2, red sea rsk-900 and reefmat. I was around 76-77 the first few weeks, but past few days I have noticed a reasonable...

    General cycling questions

    Off-topic, I mixed some salt water on Friday evening. I left it in a container with no powerhead. Would it be okay today? Once I opened it, there was a certain stench to it. Not sure if that is normal or not?

    Thanks Cody! That is encouraging news. I was going in circles trying to figure out why things aren't trending in one direction, or the other. Much appreciated!

    General cycling questions

    Small update, I thought the cycle was finished weeks ago, but I guess that wasn't the case. About 2 weeks ago I tested, and my Ammonia was .25-.5ppm nitrites .25ppm and nitrates 5-10ppm. I figured that could be because I added a small CUC(assuming my cycle had concluded) and some might have...
