  1. The clowns in the Domes small display tank had eggs. Very cool!

  2. My pistol shrimp in the 24g went on a rampage last night and I think moved every piece of sand in the tank. I found my finger gorgonian knocked over and a zoo frag half dragged back to his cave.

  3. Hope everyone is safe! In our section of the neighborhood, wasn't too bad. But the front of it lots of washed down fences... and downtown Buda was showing some amazing flooding at one point.

      Definitely! Lots of fences along there are down today.

  4. Floor water sensor saved my caboose last night when the RODI sprung a leak at midnight.

      How about some details: where are they located, where is your RODI, what kind of sensor, etc? Maybe a thread is in order. Along with a water change.

      I have my RODI mounted inside of a sink in our mud room. For some reason the water input line seal failed, it it was spraying water on the wall and dripping to the floor. I haven't had the time to investigate more. The sensor was on the floor under the sink. I got them from amazon, some beige looking doo-hickeys.

  5. Thanks Richard for hosting the October meeting!

      Yes thanks! Beautiful home as well!

  6. I have two 48" BML fixtures I bought from the Dome. I think they are the Reef Spectrum ones. I really like them, and things in the tank have done great (went from 2 150w MH). Some Symposium I have really took off after I added the LEDs. I really like the edge-to-edge lighting I get with LEDs.
  7. Getting that itch to re-arrange the 75g....

      Some rare free time, and prepping for possible acquisitions from the frag swap :)

  8. Doh! My fault.. I didn't realize Sherita was the original one to post about it Chalk it up to lack of sleep.
  9. Can any ipad users running safari confirm? I don't have the browser or device to troubleshoot. Looks like Sherita can confirm in this thread.
  10. When Aptasia-X won't work, reef putty will.

      Until it pops up a couple weeks later just to the side of where you put the putty...

  11. Clean tanks are happy tanks.

  12. Aiptasia are brown, so he won't want those
  13. I love that both of my tanks can be left for days and come back to everything status quo (well, except some algae scraping).

  14. Recent full tank shot of my 75, main light had just turned on so not everything was fully opened (mainly the carpet anemone): And a not-so-exciting full shot of my 24g tank ... it is still in it's early stages:
  15. You might also peruse through the FTS thread that is pinned in this section.
  16. 3 LFS (Sponsors even :) in one day... my wallet is a hurting.

      Managed to hit 4 of them with my sister in law and 2 year old. Good times but couldn't find much to buy. You must have been beating me there and getting the good stuff.

  17. No one faint, I did a water change on my little tank this morning.

      w/c leads to clean water, clean water leads to pretty tank, pretty tanks leads to obsession - that is the path to the dark side.

      You don't know me very well do you? :)

      nope. you could already be Darth L for all i know. but i would assume that water changes is not what led you down that path :).

  18. It the quiet future Ty I love my LED's on my big tank, especially the silence of them. Great looking set up Dave!
  19. Gotta love that there are hidden "features" on this camera like Wifi and Bluetooth that they enable later.
  20. I see bright things in your future.
  21. I have been starting to look at controllers, but was leaning towards an Apex because I could directly control the dimming of my BuildMyLED fixtures with it. Any idea if there is a way to also do that with the ReefKeepers?
  22. I find the power heads that we use in saltwater tanks tend to do more of the shaping of the substrate. Plus there are a lot more fish/snails/stuff that bury and move the substrate around in saltwater tanks... I wouldn't get hooked on what it looks like, because over time it will change.
