As we come out the other side of the most recent power and water outages I know there will be a lot of members and stores hurting and recovering. Please don't hesitate to let us know how we can help or what we can do to assist.

So sorry to hear what you went through Lewis, I know you weren't alone. We're also looking at getting a standby generator. I have friends who have solar and the powerwall but during this the panels weren't charging and a single powerwall battery pack isn't enough to run a furnace, frig, etc. It seems like generator is the way to go, at least for us.

Welcome to the hobby! If you're still going to buy water I'd suggest investing in an RODI setup and making your own water. If you're running two tanks then you'll need it.

I've never had an issue with inking, the main issue is removing them quickly if they die. As for macroalgae, they'll eat whatever is most convenient and tastes the best so you may need to protect them.

Yep, I'll have to reinstall the upgraded plugin. Hope to get to it tonight.

Welcome James!

Great for acclimation, or keeping a recuperating fish separate https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QRDCP2

Yes, the club has equipment, including suction cups, available to premium members. http://www.austinreefclub.com/forum/135-arc-club-equipment/

Plenty of options. I'd use the smaller one as a hospital or QT tank due to having to mix and keep less water. Keep in mind if you use it to treat with things like Copper it will never be a display tank again. For the one you don't keep, become a Premium Member and list it for sale.

Yep, once mine got rid of the aiptasia he went for the clove. I never saw cloves again (but did aiptasia)

I had a copperband butterfly that absolutely eradicated it from my tank. Pretty, cool fish. The only issue is that after it's gone you'll need to pass him on or he'll starve.

The club has a 12g QT tank it loans out to Premium Members, but it would be a bit of a drive for you.

Autofeeder and large RO with float valve topoff. For anything longer than 3 days I have someone come check on things in person.
