If so it’s the first time I’ve seen it in 15 years of reefing and my display tank is about to be doomed. I initially thought it was ich but now I’m much more concerned. Any advice? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for that link; I connected with Vinny and he helped solve my issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, I’m not on FB but will join reef to reef to check out that forum. I def got no return phone call from the support line I found and left a message. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone know a GHL support phone number? I cannot connect to myGHL through WiFi to update settings. Getting their phone number is frustrating Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Eric how was I typing a response pointing a finger at you at the same time you were typing [emoji38] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Waterbox 220.6 is 72”x25”x24”. Comes with stand, sump, and plumbing. Admittedly they’ve been backed up on inventory in that size but claim they are getting stock back in mid February. Check out their website and contact EPLEEDS on here if interested. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Considering using starboard for a bare bottom set up; for those who have used it how much of a gap did you leave between the edge of the starboard and the glass? I’ve seen people do it leaving up to an inch gap like a detritus ditch (not my favorite look) to the guys at WWC saying an 1/8” to 1/4” as long as its off the silicone is plenty. Anyone have experience and feedback here? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of my reefer buddies clarified the paint decision for me saying - “Your wife is letting you buy a big ass tank to upgrade? You need to paint the walls whatever the **** color she wants before she changes her mind!” [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was my exact experience as I responded to Tricia before I read yours. Identical experience over a decade span. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think the vinyl wallpaper is a cool idea but in my experience the clear acrylic on the ceiling may be overkill. I had a 75 and sump 3” off the wall in my condo for 10 years and when I sold the condo all the only drywall damage I had was a bit of “puffiness” in the sump area. Sanded, quick patch, painted the wall, good as new after 10 years. I feel like you would need significant splatter to ruin drywall. That vinyl wallpaper would look nice and clean super easy; that’s a winner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m finishing my basement and planning for a large tank with a white stand. The floors and walls both will have a nuetral tan to light brown feel - until my wife bought a couch and is deciding she wants an accent wall in navy blue that includes behind where the tank will be. Does anyone have positive or negative experience with a dark color behind their reef? Mine have always been on light walls but I’m guessing with a white stand it may look good. But still not sure... give me your thoughts or experiences! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve had this happen with a favia when it got stressed or it ingested something that didn’t sit well. My guess is it will recede over time in short order; don’t manually try to intervene. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sent you a message Eric; thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone have one running in the system about this size that they can give their feedback on? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Definitely, text me your number at 301-908-9272, thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Leaning towards one of their larger systems when I finish my basement but really would love to see one running in person to get a feel for the sump, the overflow, the water level (cleaning without splashing water on the floor), keeping you electronics in the stand, etc. See how they feel in person. I live in Frederick county MD but work in DC so NoVa would also be doable but only in daytime hours. If anyone would be willing to have me come check out their waterbox let me know! Thanks!

That is awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This was an outstanding answer madweazl; gave me more than I could have hoped for to think on. I am still acclimating them and have them 10” over so I will slowly lower them. After the acclimation period is over. What do you run your intensity levels at during your photoperiod? With how detailed your charts on regarding PAR do you have a handy snapshot or chart of your color and intensity settings by hour? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m new to Kessils and coming off old cheap LEDs. The lights put off a spectacular shimmer and I’m quite pleased with the cleaner look and performance so far. But one complaint is that the spectral x controller gives very minimal instruction. Ok you have a preset and an acclimation setting, yahoo. Is that preset for softies or high or SPS? Zero recommendations on mounting height in reference to tank depth - seems like including a simple chart here would be a good product marketing move. I have a 75g, 21” deep, mixed reef. Sps up top, LPS and ricordea near the sand bed. The LPS and softies seem very malleable to high or low light. In planning for the sps With these lights I know I need to get a PAR meter (anyone have a cost effective recommendation or used one I’m all ears). But that all said does anyone have experience with kessils and a recommended intensity set up over a photo period that has worked for them? Thanks for any thoughts.

I read that on the 525 and up Red Sea is now using marine plywood instead of pressed wood; do you think in that case the stands will still be an issue? What type of tank are you currently running? I’ve also read good things about Waterbox systems recently but the crowd seems quite split on loving or hating rimless tanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great recommendations and thoughts; I hadn’t even thought about the splashing when cleaning. Top eurobrace like the SCA sounds like it could create a good look but better experience with cleaning. Keep the thoughts coming! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m looking at several different rimless systems in the 60” range (red sea reefer 525, SCA 150 etc.) for my next build. One thing I’m paranoid about is long term durability. While love the look of the Red Sea I have serious difficulty believing that five panes of glass at that size (and internal pressure) sealed only with silicon and no bracing system will hold up for 10+ years. The SCA eurobracing system looks a little more stable. Does anyone have experience with these tanks or other rimless tanks they can share either good or bad feedback? Any thoughts are appreciated.
