    Benjamin's 75g Garage Build (FOWLR to Reef)

    Sorry for the lack of updates but I got really busy this fall. I hosted a frag show in October that consumed me and shortly after we started construction on an addition to the house which is wrapping up right now. Just some trim and paint left at this point. It's been quite the experience. Good...

    Benjamin's 75g Garage Build (FOWLR to Reef)

    It takes time, Rome wasn't built in a day. I ran T5s for 8 months and saved for the Radions. It was another 8 months before I upgraded to the 125 and got another.

    Yeah, the way I understand this is that it hardwires into one of the lights like you do on a laptop and then it's on the wifi network from then on. You can make changes via iPhone, laptop etc.

    Carey's Final Reef Upgrade- 180g

    Just remember that YOU titled this thread the "Final" build ;) Do it right now or you will just have to do it again later. Also, I didn't see if anyone replied about the sump but you had said something early on about no baffles and not messing with DIY. Just make sure that you have at least one...

    Yup, same thing. As for the T, you can find specialty Ys to reduce strain if you look hard enough online. Product Listing PVC-Wyes

    Carey's Final Reef Upgrade- 180g

    That check valve is probably cutting your low by 1/3. The flow has to literally push the spring open to get by. Something like this will eliminate all restriction on the return: Swing Check Valve True Union - Bulk Reef Supply On top of that, the spring will corrode eventually. Just looking out...

    Carey's Final Reef Upgrade- 180g

    Is the check valve a Lowe's spring loaded deal or is it a swing valve? Sorry if I missed it in a prior post but it's a long thread already. If it's spring loaded, it take a ton of pressure to get it open. Ditch it if so.

    Benjamin's 75g Garage Build (FOWLR to Reef)

    I had a friend over for some beers and conversation this weekend and it was just about impossible to see the inside of my tank. I haven't cleaned the glass in over a week with everything going on. I pretty much spent the whole day cleaning and working on it. I took a few pictures afterward. I'm...

    Benjamin's 57g Rimless Reef

    Still in the works everyone. They started digging the foundation for the addition a few weeks ago. I should be relocating my office to another room next month and beginning the build in Dec/Jan.

    Benjamin's 75g Garage Build (FOWLR to Reef)

    So it's been well over a month now since I began the acro treatment. I too a bazillion macro shots today to inspect for red bugs. No signs! So I think I'm going to do one last dip today and return the colonies to the display However... before I do that I have seen more monti eating nudis on my...

    oh oh I follow you. Yeah I could to further ensure treatment if I could find it. I don't care about the pods in the QT. I was referring to the main display. Thanks for the feedback/suggestions.

    They don't make it anymore unfortunately. I could be wrong about hidden locations of it online. I would assume any stock left is expired by now though and not useful or less effective. On top of that, the same drugs used to kill the red bugs will kill the pod population and tons of other...

    Yet another update to keep this alive. It's been an amazingly mind-numbing process but we are finally done with the architectural plans and have a final quote from the contractors for the bank. We hope to close this month and begin demo. I imagine that if we close this project will carry on...

    Benjamin's 75g Garage Build (FOWLR to Reef)

    So I discovered red bugs about 2 weeks ago. Unable to find interceptor, I looked into Sentenil and dropping the temp. Since neither was 100% proven at this time and both have been noted as working for some people I decided to drop the temp as it was a single day effort and no carbon or massive...
