Any new piece of cant live without type of equipment on the market in the last year or so?

I already have three different small damsels that have established a hierarchy but I want to add one more small fish that might be able to hold their own. Ideas for a 29g?

Can we start a discussion on deep sand beds and their pros and cons?

Anyone have a coral or something new on the market that they would like to share? Anything at all that might interest someone? I'm getting bored with my tank and looking to gain an interest in it again.

Just a friendly reminder to check your ATO or float valves to make sure they are working properly. Post your result and reactions here.

With all this stuff going on, what are we really missing? What is your opinion of this ongoing debacle? Why aren't people being caught and prosecuted forndefacing a monument? Should the flag have been banned in major retail stores? Why will Walmart bake an ISIS cake but not a Confederate...

100 billion in assets to Iran, many unhappy. Thoughts? Anyone getting ready for the end of the world yet?

I'm here. But I don't answer many questions anymore. I still have a tank but invest very little into it anymore.

Is the pump attached to it? Is the airline attached to the pumps intake?

By the way, I also use refillable canisters for the carbon filters, DI resin, and water softener. Cleaning out the old media and buying new media is a lot cheaper in the long run than buying the plastic media filled filters.

You might want to get a TDS meter and see how bad your water quality is where you are at and then design a system to handle that particular quality of water. My water also has monochloramine and chlorine and they do chlorine burns two to three times a year on this new system. Your local water...

My TDS of my tap water was 450 for the first five months of use. Then I moved and reinstalled it on a new water companies line and the TDS dropped to ~200. It's July now, so seven months so far and it has creeped up to 9TDS this month. I guess twice a year.

Lol. My system is nine stages. It's two sediment filters, a regular coconut carbon block filter, then it goes into my main unit which is two catalytic carbon blocks, a water softener and then my RO membrane, followed by a DI resin canister and an additional on-line polishing carbon filter. By...

Now y'all are seeing my point of staying small. ;) I think I might DIY a T5 system and build a canopy. I like LEDs but they just grow a different shape and pattern of things than what I've been used to all of these years. I just know what works for me. Depending on what all is going on, I...

Ive seen some people on another forum remove optics from every single light and then lower the light closer to the water level. They grow some pretty good stuff. Though, to be honest, I'm seriously considering going back to T5s. I have seen better growth and color with T5s and the coralline...

It's not much to look at, but its mine. Slow going. Lol

I didn't realize how much the nepthea has grown. The green led lights are making those rocks in the photo appear green. Makes me think I might need to take the optics off of the red and green diodes.

The montipora is putting a nice thick new growth all the way around and has recovered nicely. Makes me want to get some new easy SPS frags for the tank. I gotta set up a PayPal bank account again. I might do that soon. I dunno.

Pretty detailed pic of my turbo that decided to get in the way for a photo op.
