I'm sure nobody could of guessed mine. Mike J Rice and I'm a male.
How strong is your CUC? With that big a tank, I think you will be ok as long as you have a good number of crabs and shrimp in there.
My snails are always getting into my MP20. When I first got it, I was fishing them out twice a day to protect my propeller. After a few months of...
The moral here is temp in the room went up and the tank of his water went down. Sounds like your design is working pretty well.
Agree six weeks is the very minimum for ich to live out and die it's life cycle. By the time you wait out the six week however I would go ahead and...
They do indeed have a thicker slime coat that will help protect them from some external parasites. They are also more sensitive to most medications,...
Welcome to 3reef.
I would coil tubing inside the refrigerator compartment. Tank water would never touch any part of the fridge. I was thinking about leaving enough...
Now that's going too far! What kind of dumb question is that and why was there not a link to the video posted directly under it?!
They are awesome filters for many things, but for reefs, which most the tanks on here are, they really are not a good solution. Freshwater fish and...
Has anyone built a working mini fridge chiller? I've thought about it several times and just read an article that says it can't work. I don't see why...
Neat build. Looks like you have some sweet DIY fans on your lighting as well. K+ for planning ahead and testing accordingly before wasting money on...

IMO it's always good to have a decent CUC. Nothing too hard to keep, or anything that can nuke the tank, but a little something to keep algae down. I...
Most octo's live a bit deeper where there is less light. When I think of a cool octo tank I like the lighting to simulate that, so I would get only...
I couldn't say for sure without knowing your toadstool like I know mine, but I can say they do some weird things including acting like they're dying...
Looks like a great start. I'd like to see some more pictures of just how you have the buckets plumbed together. Looks like a good DIY sump design.
Most leathers like pretty high flow, so It should adjust just fine. It may act like it doesn't like it at first and go through a molt, but it should...
I would skip the UV sterilizer for a frag tank. You are going to kill off good bacteria, and without fish it's not going to be protecting anything...
