I think you will be happy with that switch in the long run. Enjoy!

This sounds suspicious - making room for Son’s 250 😁

Hey - whatever works for you my friend!

Oh man - you never tell me anything anymore 😪. These sales are always a blast with lots of great deals to be had. Who knows, maybe you could even lure Scott out with the proper incentive @spectra

I have an inverter somewhere if you want to run one off a car battery or something.

Actually, CnC has winter hours now and are listed as "appointment only" on Monday and Tuesday so you might want to give them a call or send a note to make sure someone will be around. Hate to see you drive down and miss everyone!

Just a heads up that Seahorse is closed on Mondays although they normally would be able to help you out. Not sure anyone answered your question about alkalinity buffer but that could help stabilize your pH at a bit higher level. Not sure what test kits you have on hand though as I would be careful about that without the ability to keep an eye on the alk level. This might actually help your algae issue indirectly. If you saw nitrites and nitrates come up and down already then Cherany may be right about the accuracy of that ammonia test - strips can be a bit iffy. Sounds like you could be good to go with some cleanup crew.

Sorry to hear that... your SPS was always inspiring. GLWS - that tank looks awesome.

Wait, what! Say it ain't so. I hope nothing bad happened to precipitate this - you seemed to have mastered the art of SPS cultivation.

I have to admit, that is a pretty crazy shroom!

Looking really sharp Jeremy! Is that an Achilles tang making a cameo in that one shot? Very nice.

This sounds like a possible killer deal here...

I recall those happening but honestly don't know who organized them or how. Yeah, not much help per usual... 😞

done!

Wow... sounds like they were well fed 😀 hoping you start to get some babies soon - would love to see them get distributed to a few systems.

That interwoven three strand pearl necklace is nice - can you PM me a length and price on that?

That about sums it up - at least while sticking to PG adjectives. Family friendly site and all...

Congrats! System has come a long way in just a year. You even managed to work in some tough challenges along the way. It’s been great to have you on board and sharing your experiences (and pics). Good luck with year two of the adventure!

What Dodge said! This is a slick, simple way to create a (semi?) submersible refugium light. Could be really effective and who doesn’t have a dead heater or two lying around. Let us know how it goes.

You’ve been busy Bill! Tank is looking good - as does that new top.

That wellso is amazing - sounds like it’s going to a good home. Might be interested in the acans if they find their way north. Do you have a pic of them? Thanks!

If that is the one that you used on your display I recall it being pretty quiet as well.

Looks good Bill! Congrats on the new sump. I remember your panaworld being pretty quiet so the new sicce must be near silent. I hear you on the swollen magnet issue but honestly haven’t run into that with the newer pumps (knocks on wood).

Nice Jeremy... wish I had access to a drain line (and space for a fish room while I'm at it).

Welcome to the forum! Always good to see another experienced reefer join the ranks and your prior tank looks like you had things dialed in pretty nicely - it was a beauty! Good luck going small - there are usually a few tanks in that size range on here for sale if you want to go that route so you might check out the classifieds. Look forward to seeing your build thread when you get to that point.
