Have you tried talking to Gary at the Dome or Jake at RCA? Often they will discount things for large group buys.

Back on topic (sorry for the hijack), I'm going to try to attend MACNA

I grew up in Houston and Dallas. Its coke Mike!

Lol, I grew up in Texas too, everything carbonated is pretty much called Coke.

I was just saying that you weren't talking about ditching any illegal substances...

Welcome Brandon!  What type of setup did you get?

I used to put it in my checked luggage as well, packed like it would be shipped.

I was never brass enough to carry it on the plane. If the TSA agent said no, its different then just having to throw away your coke in the trash... There goes my $400 Homewrecker frag.

And by coke you meant soda-pop, right?

I've got tons of them.  If you're down south anytime I'd be happy to hook you up.

Sorry to hear about your quick move but it would be helpful if you put at least an asking price for the fish.  You can always lower the price or list items as free.

I can pitch a huge tent, run out extension cords all over the place and we can use my front yard!!!! LOL

Lol, nice, but not necessary, we've got a great venue.  Just have to work out a date amidst all the Spring and end of school year events going on.

We've been trying to figure out dates for some upcoming events, I hope to post more here shortly.

Looking great!  Love the bi-color blenny, one of my favorites in a small tank!

Nice, since I've never seen colored PVC at HD I never even considered looking online for it. I'll keep that in mind next time I do a build and want to keep the plumbing aesthetically pleasing. What other little secrets have you discovered?!

One of our sponsors, Flexpvc.com, also carries just about anything you can think of.

Ha!  Like it was an option. . .  

Definitely insured your project gets to continue...

Fantastic build thread!  I'm loving the re-purposing of the wet-bar.  Several members have built tanks into new house designs but this is the first in a long time where someone modified an existing home but was lucky enough to have a water source and drain.  Looking forward to following along!

Oh, and props for making sure the wife got her bookshelf out of the whole process!

Loving the setup, can't wait to see something (besides water) in it!

It was from http://autotopoff.com.  Nothing super fancy, no real need for a double sensor on something like that (my topoff reservoir wasn't enough to flood the pico).

I've kept a few in the 3-5g size.  Temperature isn't a problem at all, a small fan is enough to create surface agitation and evaporative cooling.  Evaporation becomes the biggest problem.  I had a 3g on my desk at work. If .5g evaporates over the weekend then you get wide parameter fluctuations.  I resolved mine by having a cover on the tank and ultimately set up a mini ATO.  It was incredibly fun to have a goby and emerald crab at work with me every day.  The crab would see me come in each morning and immediately climb the rocks and wave at me until I hand-fed him a piece of nori.

I can convert it to a Fish Only tank easily for you if you want. Just take this fish and call me in the morning.

Train it to eat GSP, anthelia, xenia, or blue clove and I think the club will have a new mascot.

You think it'll eat leathers and singulara?

Well, my dreams of having a golden butterfly have been dashed. The guy picked at acros as expected but was relentless, unlike my emperor which picks here and there. He also tried to destroy a fungia plate (to be expected) and went after a goni frag. The final straw was when he nipped at my anemones feet through the isolation box.

If he would have just pecked here and there like my angels, I would have been fine but he was on a mission to eat everything.

Be on the lookout for a for sale thread for a gorgeous golden butterfly that's already eating frozen. Fish only tanks!

Sorry to hear it, but my softy dominated tank is not. We should talk

I need to find someone that'll 3d print me some probe holders and hose clips. Thanks for the idea ty. Those holders are legit.

I've got a printer as well, and have been considering having a stock of parts that Premium Members can pick from incentives for renewing...

Hi folks - my joining this group is long overdue! But better late than never. I am a professor at UT Austin (Department of Integrative Biology) studying genomics of coral adaptation. More info (and links to papers) here: http://matzlab.weebly.com/ 

Please feel free to contact me if you have difficult questions about coral biology, and especially if you observe something unusual about your corals.

cheers

Welcome!  We're glad you found the time to drop by.  I saw your request for mille's, please don't be shy if there is anything the club can do to help you and your team out with their research!

Mike 

If I'd know the issues the software upgrade would bring I definitely would have waited.  Thanks for your patience guys, I think it's starting to stabilize.

Try now?
