Since the introduction of dial-up bulletin boards, there have been posts and worries about similar things. I cannot remember any of them that have passed outside of really deadly or harmful type of restrictions on venomous snakes, tigers, lions, cougars (the 4 legged kinds), etc. You just have...

You might have to pry most of that out of the dead hands of the people that have it. The rock that the gulf places put into the ocean are better than most dry. Check out TBS, KP, etc. There is cultured rock from Fiji - you can order it here: https://www.livestockusa.org/ROCK.html

Coffee filters work good for wormwood.

Yes. this one... great coral.

Did you keep that purple and teal prostata/millepora? Fabulous.

Make sure that the tank has some heaters and flow and it will be Ok without the sump for a while.

AquaChill Industries Chiller. This is a commercial drop-in unit like you see in Lobster tanks. Takes r134a and has a service port - it probably needs a squirt of refrigerant. This is a high end chiller. It comes with a working Ranco Controller. 110v. Free in Longmont.

There are a lot of folks in Northern Front Range even if they don't post a lot. Just let us know what you might need and you should get some good help and stuff.

You killing me with such late notice Mike. If you have any plant pots, send me a PM... rather buy some from you than some corporation. I can make a special trip with some cash if you like.

Light timer on Mh just turns them on and off. It takes a few minutes for the MH bulbs to fully illuminate, so there is a slight ramp up, but then they just shut off. I am not sure that ramp up and down does for the tank, but some people like it.

I use a light timer. A few years ago, I did have to replace one after about 20 years.

I mostly use MH too. I have had the fixtures and ballasts for more than a decade, there is no cost savings in daily running to have the same output and any heat in the room is fine since I spend 70% of my tank cost to heat them. This does not even speak of the excellent performance. I change...

Whatchu do with that mantis? Have a fun little mantis tank?

You probably have to fill the display with cloudy flocculant and have the worms catch and eat it - might not be good for other things in the tank.

It hit me while I was driving around that some have reported mass Verm death when dosing Lanthanum Chloride. I have never tried this and there certainly could be other unintended consequences, but I just wanted to post... Here is one such reference...

We did a contest a while back for a $1000 budget tank. It drove some activity, but waned as the year went on. It turned out to be harder for many than they thought, but I think that people might have learned some stuff from it.

Even the large forums like r2r are having to give away things for people to update their tank threads and stuff. Of course bribes and work, but are not free. People are kinda over seeing boxes in empty tanks in living rooms although actual tank threads are cool. A build thread of the month...

I smashed groups them and my hermits would scurry over to see what they could get. I only really had them in the shadows and they did not bother anything. Eventually, they just died out/back. This seemed to happen only after I quit caring, right? Seems like they ran their life cycle and that...

I am not trying to hate, but I doubt that those wrasses were QT'd perfectly for full disease eradication or else they likely would not be alive. They could be totally OK and likely got some level of treatment and I certainly do not do true QT on my fish, but it might be a good idea for you all...

I have no idea why people would use reef crystals anyway, but I know that some like it. I got a bunch of boxes a while back when it was on a super sale (like 30 a box) and all that I have to do is use more acid to lower the alk. RC has some sort of organics in it I don't need although I doubt...
