00W's AIO Smorgasbord

[kingranch2003]

Right now with 2 tanks I have about $800 total invested.
Total.
I've spent about $8,000,000 on stuff that never worked, stuff I didn't like and stuff relegated to the garage in boxes.
I've also given away 2 times what I have invested.
I'm not that bright...

You don't give up easily. :)

Very nice light, Keith. Plug it in and have a mini rave!

It's still there, it ended up being a scratch from a trochus snail I guess, in the photos you can't see it but when you sit in front of the tank you can see it lol

And people say photos don't lie

Don't give in or give up you just get over it.

That is actually impressive.

I have a very off the wall idea; have you considered doing a rock rotation? Get some more Berghia. Take one of these rocks and drop it in a fishless tank like maybe a five gallon with just a powerhead. Wait for them to get it more or less clean but don't wait until it is completely clean maybe three or four left. Put it back in the tank, there will probably be some Berghia on the rock but try to leave the majority in the breeding tank, and repeat with the next rock. By the tine you finish your tank should have established Berghia to finish the job, your rocks will be more or less clean and you should have a saleable quantity of Berghia to rehome.

I think Amanda is quitting for a R2R about horses lol (joking, she's busy at work because if I remember correctly the boss and a coworker are missing work this past days )

I try not to think about all of the stuff I've given away. Every time I've moved, I've quit the hobby and given away everything--everything except a few books I held onto. I've moved a bunch of times. Every time I start up again I kick myself for giving everything away: RODI units, test kits, tanks, lights, pumps, books and magazines that are long out of print, etc. I guess the good news is that I would have even more junk around today if I hadn't but it makes me feel like a moron if I stop and think about it.

Unboxed the Meridian 35 to mess around with it!

I like my Meridian 11 so much that I'm hoping to gift myself the 35 soon. Can't wait to see it on your tank.

That's a really smart idea.
