Thanks ?. It also didn’t do to well for me. Fish broke off several pieces during the past year. Now it just grow along the rocks instead of branches.

After a year a half. #3 grew pretty nicely into a mini colony of some sort of blue/purple millepora but unfortunately died over night for no reason :(. #2 grew slowly into this. Any idea what's it? IMG_9869 by Chuck, on Flickr IMG_9871 by Chuck, on Flickr

You can certainly plumb multiple tanks into a single sump provided that the sump can handle the water volume when the return pump is turned off or when there’s a power outage. reef + Fowlr is essentially no different than a reef rank with lots of fish. Just need to bigger skimmer that will process heavier load. Currently, I have 2 tanks (anemone tank and a mixed reef plumbed into a sump. My two previous tanks (125 and 150g) were also plumb into a single sump. This enable me to do a single water changes once a month.

Looking great! following along.

Lots of work involved, but pretty cool!

Very nice setup. Welcome to WAMAS.

Thanks for dropping in Paul. Tanks are still up and running. Occasionally loss a thing or two, but I came to accept the fact that nothing I can do about it. Overall, everything is ok in my book. I’ll get a video or pictures once I get a chance as personal life has been hectic.

Yes. Also, you can tell by the color of the sediment filter if it need to be replace.if it brown, then it’s time to replace.

Whenever my rodi water is tested high (around 10). I replaced all the filters except the membrane. Sediment and carbon are cheap so, it’s better to replace them. as for the membrane(s) the typical life is about 3 years. I always write a date on the housing of the membrane as a reminder.

I believed she meant sea hare.

Imo, depending how your basement circulation. You will need one if your relative humidity is 60% or more. That’s when mold began to developed. I have one in my basement that runs 24/7 during the summer. Mine has a drain that I run directly into the basement sump. I also added a vent fan with automatic humidity sensor. even with both running, I managed to maintain the humidity around 60%. I am thinking of adding another ventilation fan to further reduce humidity. if you getting one, get the biggest dehumidifier that you can afford.

I don’t have any experience with jebao. I am sure you can modify any dc pump fitting to work with your skimmer.

They are workhorse. A little noisy but you will not hear it when your lights fan is on and cabinet doors will also help with the noise. You can also rubber pad to reduce vibration. They do generate heat though but it’s a trade off for the heater other than that I have never encounter any issue with performance. I still use my mag 9 that I purchased in 2000.

The danner mag 7 should have a similar specs as that pump. you can get a mag7 with Fractionating Impeller to use as a skimmer pump. Mag drive pump last forever. Well almost.

No, those you posted are flavor "snacking" seaweed. There are some plain 'snacking" variety but toasted so they are pretty crunchy and are not good for feeding fish as they will dissolved in water. Just stick with the regular nori for feeding fish. Beside it's a lot cheaper.

You need something like this: plain nori/seeweed that use to make sushi roll. https://www.ebay.com/c/1867232749

no. That's Not Safe for fish.

I usually set up auto feeders for the tanks. Run them at least a few days before vacation and check it daily to make to they are function properly. To me, an auto top-off is much more important than feeding. I estimated how much water needed for the top-off for just the vacation duration and upped a gallon or 2 as a safety net. These are the only 2 things I needed for my vacations. Also, have a friend as a backup in case of power outage. Other than that I don't want to think about my tanks while on vacation!

Very nice build Tricia. best wish and quick recovery with the surgery.

It's inflated a bit bigger or perhaps grew a bit. IMG_8011 by t@#$%c, on Flickr

Thanks bro!

Nice looking mens! CSB and LD are nice, but not in the thousand dollars nice. Once they fully opened, they are just slightly brighter than the standard Rose bubble.

Lol!

Thanks! the young lady there was easy to deal with so I was able to get her to take it with the rock instead of yanking it off its rock.
