I have a bubble magus, its been a beast for over 2 years.

Tom is who I ended up going with! The most professional and awesome experience. Boo yahs just gave me the run around and was never available. Recommend @AquariumOverload very highly. He has dry goods as well! Awesome set up. Very friendly and helpful.

Count me in!

I've had a RS250 for over 2 years now, and *knock on wood* not a single issue. I've used stock plumbing down the green soft return hose. Agree with you on the ATO, total joke. It was the first thing to go. People have made some pretty cool fuge's out of them though. Can't speak on the WB...

Hey guys, needed a favor. Just switched to HW Marine Reefer salt. Doing research I saw that there were some batches that had low potassium levels. I don't dose potassium and rely on my WC's to replenish it. Was wondering if anyone local had a potassium test kit so I could get insight into...

Anyone know if they are around locally, reached out to a couple of people and no luck. I know rod's might be impossible to find now a days. Figured i'd ask. Thanks guys.

So either this thing is actually an SPS or something isnt right. First time owning a duncan. Its usually extended further than this, double sometimes. I've tried moving it up closer to the light, roughly where my frogspawn started bleaching (halfway up the tank, right under a hydra26 hd) and it...

Going through a bit of a diatom bloom (as expected with a new tank) I bought a couple of frags at the CMAS swap (torch, acan, zoa) Now they've been in the tank for a couple of weeks, they are all wide open full PE and seem to be doing well. All placed on the sandbed, with the hydras set to a...

Time to order my skimmer. Tanks been up and running for a few weeks now (rsr250). Wanted to get around to ordering my skimmer this week. Has anyone run 2 smaller skimmers instead of one "bigger" skimmer? The system has 65 gallons of water and will be moderately stocked. One of the issues...

Hey guys. Tank came in (Reefer 250), so far so good. Going to leak test it tonight hopefully. Wanted to get the rock and sand in by tonight, at the latest tomorrow. I've used caribsea aragonite before. Was wondering if there was anything that was well more white. Took a vacay to Destin (FL)...

What's up everyone Wanted to let you guys know the order for the tank has officially been placed! Should be here by next Wednesday (fingers crossed). Big shout out to my wife (just got married last year), she's been so supportive and even pushed me to start another tank. The reefer was...

It's my birthday today, so I was going to treat myself. I've heard BRS has group buys with extra points and what not. I'm going to spend the money anyway. When's the best time or place to buy? It's a big purchase, so just wanted to pick your brains as to where you would go. (Almost pulled the...

Just found you guys through a sponsor. Spent so much time in the hobby without reaching out to my local guys/gals. Planning a new build after being out of the hobby for a few years. Going bigger this time, 24G aio cube ---> 65g w/sump. I hope I can lean on some of you and pick your brains as...
