Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I used to use an old fish net.
Cut it out and wire tie it to the tube.
I've also used pvc pipe with holes drilled in it when I had a wandering anemone.
Just put the pvc over the tube and run the rest to the bottom.
It'll get covered in coraline soon .
Depending on where you drilled the holes you can actually use it as an extension tube.
Or get the other stuff it's easier. 😉
Or make an Aragocrete sleeve over the PVC, drill the Aragocrete and PVC and glue little Aragocrete frag shelves to the side?????

It'll eventually turn into live rock.
 
Jebao dcp 3500.
It's also silent.
Mines been going forever.
No issues.
I've been using a Vivosun for 5 years or so with no problems. Inexpensive and work good. Probably nowhere near the quality of Jebao though.
 
did you buy that Millennium Falcon Lego too? 😁
My oldest son was so into the Star Wars legos, he did get the Millennial Falcon. Every Christmas I was shocked at the price of them.

I've been using one for about that long to mix water and pump new water to the tank after a change.
Cheap and reliable and never had an issue with it.

the latest one is the Death Star and I think it's $1000.
I like buying the Winter themed houses for the kids. Past several years I buy what ever the latest one is and give it to them on Thanksgiving. Usually keeps them occupied while the Turkey cooks, that can do while watching the parade and it carries sometimes over into Black Friday. I mean seriously, who wants to fight the crowds on Black Friday or sit home and put together Legos? !
 
No but I had a few 3000+ but there were catching dust too fast (problem when you live near the desert).
2 of the original houses we have from 20 years ago took me about 24 hours each to put together. Did it for New Years Eve and Day. Probably going to be the same for this next house.

Um, the prices have gone up over the last decade! Strange, prices on everything else keeps going down. 😉
