Should I feel bad about draining saltwater into the street/curb?

It's just water... Not like you are dumping out oil or something.

Here in Upstate NY, you should see all the road salt they put on the streets in the winter. When the snow melts and the roads dry they are literally white. I think you are fine. ?

That's what I was thinking but had some hesitation. Feel like I'm good though, thanks for the confirmation guys.

Man, that is awesome! I've always used Abtesia X but it's a drag tring to reach in the tank, move rocks, etc. on my 160 Gal.

Kinda reminds me of Superman using lasers from his eyes, lol.

Nice.

Have to appreciate the good days. Fish / coral happy and the hole I drilled for my new gyre wire was super easy to do!


BUT....
My dang bio balls keep clumping.
Put a slightly bigger pump on it but still have to shut it off every week, take it apart and break apart the clumps. Any advice to fix appreciated!

is that a sergeant major damsel i see in that pic?
looking great

 

[dpruter]

Oh yeah, the majors are still in the house. Poquito Diablos! ?

Love your Desjardini. Mine is one of the coolest fish I have ever had. The markings are so striking.

Indeed! They are beautiful! Does yours eat a ton?

 

[SeanMonster]

Yes, eats everything I put in the tank and then picks at the rocks. He has to compete with a Vlamingi of equal size so neither pass up a chance in the trough. ?

Celebrating one year for our Achilles Tang. Happy to report he's doing well!

So happy to see this tank still going! Beginning to wonder if it was ever going to get an update again

Thanks guys. Yeah it's still cooking along. Haven't done or added much. Letting it slowly grow. Tried another clam and died within a week. Ugh!

 

[Ricksreef]

Terrific looking tank.

Is it sarcasm? That first bag is nasty and that hammer/torch/frogspawn is long gone.

I follow a group on Facebook warning about Reefs2Go. Guess this is just more proof
