Oh no! I hope you heal smoothly! How did you break it?

Smashed it in my truck door! Yeah i tried to grab the door after shutting it.

This is a long shot, but have you seen these before, its a bottom side pic. will try to get a better one when I can. I don't think its a baby snail.

I have these and mine are spawning!
Stomatella Snail! Good Guy!

 

[Usarmy227]

Not sure if you can see the video. But this is one of the 5 I have. The smoke/cloud it shoots out is meaning it’s spawning.

Good Morning Eveyone!!!

I hope everyone has a Wonderful day!!
Yesterday I broke my fifth Metacarpal on my right hand (go figure). In a soft cast until I see orthopedic surgeon and it’s time for a water change lol this is going to be very entertaining to try.

Smorgasbord don’t forget to vote in mariner of the month! It ends this weekend!

Good morning Brian! So sorry about your hand, I already voted.

oh dear lord, that isn't what they are saying... You could go to a pet store that carries Marineland tanks... most places do, even Walmart and do it there. Again, the only pane on Marineland tanks are the bottom pane, it is a way to cut costs in manufacturing.

lol thanks for this.

It really does I know!
Yes I saw one yesterday.
I only have 4 giant aiptasia left.
I saw 3 little aiptasia yesterday but their gone today.
And they've eaten all aiptasia from the powerheads since I leave them off at night.
The whole thing is absolutely amazing and I can't believe a couple of months ago I wanted to break the tank down.
I really feels like a miracle.

The three peppermint shrimp I put in the sump smeared the aptasia in there. I know in your tank they would be trigger food. In my DT the flame hawk would probably eat them, and I'm not sure about the big rabbitfish.

Free cuc, I had to buy mine.

 

[Imrahilwjz]

This joke took way longer for me to get than i'd like to admit haha

Same here. It reminds me of the shimmering white corals

 

[cdemoss01]

You have to drill the tank for that one.

Dang.

Good morning Wes!

Very nice! I'll have to stop worrying so much obviously! The plan is to hide it with coral after all!

Looks great to me too. The angle of this picture looks like a turtle with a cowboy hat on its shell, or maybe a chef hat. Simon thinks it looks like a big tortoise with a tiny ape on its shell.

I sent an email to BRS hoping to get some recommendations for equipment. Is there a way to make my overflow low profile?

 

[Imrahilwjz]

Will do. I just don't see how I am supposed to stick a activated phone into the tank and check if the glass is tempered when its full of water.

You can do it from the outside

I still think you are putting the cart in front of the horse Camden. I would start with large water changes each week and pulling your rocks out one at a time and scrub them. You need to get your nutrients under control. A sump will not lower your nutrients. Good husbandry will.
I understand you want this 'fixed' quickly, but your tank is going to take a lot of time and patience to get leveled out.

Will do.

Beautiful but evil fish lol, one of my many mistakes as a nobbie

Super glad I asked brother. Back to wrasses lol

I just feel like a sump will help me manage the tank better in general. Reactors, rollers, fuges the whole nine. I am gonna be patient with this. Im just making plans for when I do switch because I really do want too. I have done the rock scrub method a multitude of times. It fixes It but not for enough time for me to get rid of my nitrates.

Picture of what you have now?
