    Kessil or Radion?

    I know this has probably been asked a million times, but here is a million and one. I have a Kessil a160we with controller, love it and it looks great. It's on an elos mini, appx 20 gallons with a mixed reef planned. But I am on the fence about getting a radion, and am wondering: Is a radion...

    Fishbit

    I have no hand in this project whatsoever but possible handy new toy! I'm thinking about backing it for the monitor. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1758456789/fishbit-your-aquarium-made-simple Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sump

    What water height should a sump be at? This is my first sump and have an adjustable baffle. I would say I am running at 10 inches or so right now. Higher...lower? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My other hobby

    Found a good deal on a Victrola talking machine, dates back to 1921. I'm gonna have to clean it up, but it works and in pretty good shape. https://vimeo.com/144178856 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Elos!

    So I'm still not able to set it up as we are moving at the end of the year. Buuuuut, that doesn't mean I can't buy stuff for it! It's an Elos mini, just got a kessil a160we with the spectral controller, and equipment that I have from previous set ups. I am either going to have a sump built or...

    30 long build

    Have this under the nano section too, but I'm starting my IM 30 long build. I love IM tanks and skipped the 20 and went to the 30. I love it, nice length, good size, great looks. Here's where we are: IM tank and stand, ghost skimmer and reactor, nanobox quad running off bluefish controller...

    What is this?!?

    I noticed this hanging from the bottom of my live rock. It is dangling and looks like something green in a transparent or white pouch. I only see one, and I do not see any signs of any pests. Any help with an Id, or just tell me if I should just remove it. I have a few clownfish, snails, and...

    We have a host!

    I noticed my true percula pair inching closer to one of my nems. I peeked down before dinner and caught him in the act. I'm pretty excited, he/she is just loving it! I hope the others catch on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Who is up for some buffing?

    I have an acrylic tank that have some surface scratches, nothing major. I need someone experienced to buff out the scratches, three sides only, inside and out. I don't have a time frame, I am not setting this tank up for a while. I can drop off or it can be done wherever. If you are able and...

    Wife should not leave me alone

    I wonder if telling her it's hers will make it ok?!? She is going to kill me. And of course I have to tell her the 65 i getting this weekend "won't be set up until we but a house". Anyone have a room for rent :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What is this?!?

    I noticed one of my clowns acting odd. Not eating, rapid breathing, and then I noticed what is pictured below. Water conditions are perfect, only one other clown, some snails, and crabs. Just noticed the damage today but he has been shy and hiding for a few days. Sent from my iPhone using...

    I guess I'm a nerd!

    I picked up an Apex Jr system this week and I ordered a wireless bridge and I have a controller on the way. My wife thought I was a little too excited over the capabilities of the Apex system. I'm excited to start adding more on...slowly. If you don't have an Apex or are on the fence about...

    28 gallon build

    I set up my 28 yesterday. JBJ AIO. I don't have the stones to take the top brace off, so I am either going to find a top and retrofit an led fixture in, or just hand an led fixture above. I currently have an IM ghost skimmer in the middle compartment, thinking of removing and keeping the...

    JBJ 28 gallon question

    I just set up a JBJ 28 without the hood. I currently have the innovative Marine ghost desktop skimmer in the middle chamber with no filter media. If I plan to have live sand and live rock in the tank, do I need media in the middle chamber or would I be better of taking the skimmer out and...

    Great Saturday

    Had a great afternoon with my tanks! I set up my JBJ 28, the wife found out and didn't divorce me. So that was a great start. After that I added a few frags to my pico, a purple monty, torch, jackolantern lepto, and a war card. I might be off on the names. Rescaped it, water change later...

    Back to it

    I'm finally back to aquatics! I sold everything prior to moving to Chicago, and after some gentle persuading (purchased and asked for forgiveness) I talked the wife into letting me get a tank. I have an IM 4 gallon pico, and just purchased a JBJ 28 gallon. The JBJ is not set up, just the...
