  1. Is it GHA or bryopsis? I mean I’m sure you know, but I used fluconazole on my 35 gal and all my algae was gone in 5 weeks! And honestly, I don’t know if mine was GHA or bryopsis. It just looked like an 80’s rock hair band, but the fluconazole worked. Haven’t had one piece since. And that’s been over a year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. How often does the ATS need to be cleaned? And do you also run a GFO reactor? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Womp womp. Atleast no $$ was lost Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. when I got it, I wasn’t sure where to set it. At what depth. But if I raise it much higher, the pump will be out of the water. I’ve unplugged it and will do a small water change Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Skimmer

    I tried to take a video, but can’t on Tapatalk. My Skimmer has been doing this 24 hours. Any ideas why? Ive got the valve wide open. Only thing different I’ve done is some Chemi-clean, but that was 3 days ago. Has it not been long enough? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Wow!!! I can’t believe bubblers kept your tank alive. That’s great!!!! I was so freaked out bc of last time I lost 7 fish, I had one bubbler in my powerhead blowing bubbles and a small powerhead sticking out of the water for a super bubbler! Lol. Your backyard looks great! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  8. ****! Bummer. Almost looks like a hole in it from the pic. Did someone shoot it with a B.B. gun? Did you make someone mad? Maybe bristle worm police Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  10. My whole existence is based on never ending projects and tinkering. [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I am a self proclaimed dumpster diver. LOL And sticking to my roots, I saw some cut up furniture dollies in the trash at work a couple weeks ago. To the window glazers they're trash. To me, they were good casters! So I brought them home and made new furniture dollies to roll the stand around on while I sand and paint. I removed two doors, but the third hinge is so rusted, Ill just have to paint it on there. I picked up a gallon of oil based white Kilz and a gallon of black oil based paint. I'm going to do the inside of the stand white and obviously the outside black. There is considerable water damage on one side of the inside, but I'm pretty sure I can sand that back smooth. I have both a belt and palm sander. I chipped away at it with a flat head and a chisel to get all the big bubbles out. It would be ideal to just build a new stand. I'm good at a lot of things, but woodworking isn't very high on that list. Maybe a solid panel across the back? More places to hang things, but less ventilation than the way it is. Also, the sump isn't a 75 gallon tank. I's a 55. Once I got it out of the stand I could see it. Not sure what to do now about the skimmer. It's a monster. possibly have a sump built that would fit the stand and skimmer better. Along with things I have on my list to buy for this project, a better bigger generator is a must!! The little one I got yesterday was perfect for keeping things aerated and alive, but I'm about to add 130 more gallons to my system. I'm afraid the little tailgater couldn't handle a bigger tank. Yesterday was stressful and scary and aggravating. It's not the fastest build in history, but one day we will get there!!
  12. I have a generator if you need to borrow it. My power was out 16 hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Mine came back on so I also have a generator and gas to loan out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. ☹️☹️☹️. So sorry. Let me know if you need anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. My power has been out 12 hours so I’m just surfing the webs. [emoji5] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I can run 7 amps on my generator. My pump says it’s only one amp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I don’t think my generator can support my return pump. I don’t want to overdo it. I will get a better generator when money allows. Or should I run the return pump and unplug the powerheads? What do you think is more important? The return pump will also aerate the water. 2 birds maybe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. My power has also been out since midnight. I used up all the juice on my battery back-up pack, so had to go buy a generator as well. My budget only allowed one with 700 amp output. I have 2 powerheads and a bubbler. That should keep them going, I hope. I have a concern about the sump. That water has been sitting 11 hours thus far. The last update I got from Oncore has now moved the repair time from 11 am to 4 pm. IF we are so lucky and it is restored at 4 pm, the sump Water will have sat for 16 hours. Is it safe to fire up the return and pump that water back into the system? Would a bubbler there help? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Edit. Fin, fur, or feather.[emoji6]. Did forget about those guys. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. [emoji33][emoji33]. The poor MIL.... if she needs me to help with any fur or fin, she can call me! I’m close. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I didn’t know you were a big anemone fan... was that a rib poke to Ty about his upcoming CSB dole out.... [emoji848][emoji6][emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Thank you for these! The zoas being out of water for any amount of time and thriving is fascinating to me. I know it’s not imperative that corals (except sponges) be submerged all the time. I wonder how long they’re out of water due to the tide.. anyhow, looks like you had a great trip! Did you see any fish besides all the happy clowns? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. We started working OT on my job this week. I’m so beat from the hours and being in the heat all day, I don’t feel like doing much work on the tank in the hot garage. [emoji51][emoji6]. But the extra money will be nice to spend on the tank!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Bc of the way my tank is already built, I’m going to have to drill another hole and fill two, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to do bean animal. The peace of mind of no flood is the biggest attraction to that style. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
