00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[Rocks reef]

Good morning all!

Good morning sir

 

[Rocks reef]

Mast Partners glued, floor boards routed and sanded. ready for stain tomorrow. I'm tired now!

Very nice! You have quite the skill sir

 

[tbrown]

Can you show me current pictures?

Ummm... It's sitting empty on my desk. It's the one I upgraded to the HelloReef GloFish and I haven't done anything else with the Marineland yet. It'll likely go home and become a Betta tank eventually.

Here's the last picture I took of it as a salty tank.

What brackets did you mount that with sir?

I used to just Velcro them to the wall but now I 3d-print small 1u brackets. There are also 1u shelf brackets commercially available that would work fine.

No excuses, pictures or it didn't happen

I don't use power strips, except I do have one, for now, to handle all of the lights until I consolidate them. I've been using American DJ PC100A Power Centers for over twenty years. I mount them vertically so that the plugs outlets are pointed down which makes drip loops almost automatic. No surge protector to blow out and switches for convenience. There is mine early in the build. It is really just a power strip but I like this mounting setup and it is always in my cabinet.

That is so neat and organized. I envy that kind of neatness. I dont have the nerve to show you mine

I had a similar power hub. I loved the on/off switches. I went through two of them. They both shorted out. Had them plugged into a portable GFCi, Joel convinced me to get this Trip Lite with built in GFCI. I have everything but the main pump plugged into it. The main pump is on a UPS.

Why don't I lables my wires like that!? Cmon John! Get in the game!

 

[kingranch2003]

Good morning Tom! I’d be embarrassed to post a picture of what’s underneath my tank!

 

[kingranch2003]

I think irritating it.

Im team sump. Is that an emerald? I just dropped two emeralds in my tank yesterday. Bubble algae has taken hold since my other one died. Luckily they went straight to the algae. If either start acting up, they're out!

He got tossed in the sump earlier. I saw him actually eating polyps off the stylo.

 

[kingranch2003]

we'll see when it's finished.

You're very talented my friend. I love seeing what you're going to do next.

Went one step further and stained the floor boards.

 

[kingranch2003]

Here's how it all started back in 2019/2020.

I love this! Did you get any corals in it? More pics?

 

[kingranch2003]

That’s grew from where the original was after it moved behind the rocks. I think it didn’t like the flow after I added a duel return nozzle. This was the original.

I was noticing a few days ago Kevin, that the right side of my tank needs some BRIGHT green. After talking to TBrown, I'm probably going with a slimeball anacropora for the rockwork, and this is a beautiful neon green as well. Im sure you get some nice movement too. Do you recommend it to own Kevin?

Maybe put it here if it doesn't mind a little upflow and mid-higher par.

That is brutal man. Throw the stylo in with the lobo when you send it to me maybe?

Oops I didnt read all the way down. Super cool man, do you still have anything left of those corals in your current tank?

Yes easy and fast growers. I fragged the first one half a dozen times. When I got it I was looking for a colt coral, I had one for most of the 16 years my previous tank was up. The owner of my lfs said she hadn’t seen a colt coral in the market for many years and suggested the sinularia as a substitute.
