  1. Pace yourself its going to be a slow build. I realized after setting up my 3rd tank is I don't like building tanks. The drilling overflows, building a sump, the plumbing( I hate plumbing) are more of a chore for me to get the good stuff. Aquascaping, corals, fish, playing with setting is the part I enjoy the most. Therefore plug and play system seems the way to go.

  6. Does Apex controller require a breakout box to work as a ATO?

      yes as it needs a way to sense water level. This is usually done through float switches

      or you can buy an ATO and plug it in to the apex :)

      Just use gravity and a float valve. I've never had issues compared to my jbj topping off 10gal at a time on my last tank!

  7. Does anyone know if they sell Dr Tims locally? Thanks

      depends on what you want to use it for

  9. Use a dry erase marker to mark the number of frags on your frag rack. Helps do a quick inventory in case one has fallen.
  10. I have several times, but just use pellet food right now. Food processor. Get and clean some raw wild shrimp, oysters, clams, squid. Add some sperulina, nori, blanched spinach, and commercial flake or pellet fish food for additional vitamins. You can put it in ice cube trays or a plastic bag and flatten it out and freeze it. You can also add oyster eggs and other diet specific foods. I've heard of people using multi-vitamins, but watch out for copper and other metals if this is for a reef tank. Just about anything will eat this stuff and it works well for fresh water in addition to salt water fish. Best bet is to go to central market for the raw seafood. They usually carry everything fresh in their seafood section and you can pick it out individually. They will ask why you're buying small amounts of random seafood though... Thanks I'm going to try it out
  11. has anyone made there own fish food?
  12. Done with Midterms! Time to breath

  13. those look great, nice price too. Hint for anyone thinking about getting these the lower the light the more royal blue the tubbs look. Higher light darker blue they get.
  14. group buy led has 3puck leds two royal blue with one neutral white and they also have a color 3 led. IMO I would do one of each and driver it with 2 meanwell (check out powergate they sell them for $24 each) or if you want to whole sunset and dim each one use a DIMM4 controler.
  15. do any of the current eight want to split a order? I have never used gfo but I thought I might give it a try
  16. Do we just buy the item and have them shipped with any other order? For example say I have my stuff shipped with BIo do I pay BIo or do pay BRF and have items shipped with Bio
  17. so how does the shipping work? Can we combine orders to save on shipping?
  18. HELP where is pickling lime in HEB

      For sure Wal-mart canning section, which is far away from the wal-mart food area.
