Very cool!You need a little bit of pink in there. I think I may donate some Pandora Palys to the 93 or some of my blood red zoas.

Pictures do not do them justice as I suck with a camera. But I will bring you a few polyps of each Sunday. I have some in the frag tank, so it’s no biggie. Do you want on a plug or just the rock rubble they are on?Very cool!

Plywood tank with glass viewing ports? Cost friendly compared to all glass and you can build it to the size you want. Doing glass ports, you could use old tank glass. Also, if it is for grow out, it may not need to be that deep. That makes things even easier.I am torn about what to use for frag tanks (for grow out not for display).
I thought about 50 gallon rubbermaid troughs but then you can't see in from the side. I have a 1/2" 29 gallon but, that would require a bunch of work to get them all in a rack, drilled, plumbed and lighted.
Thoughts?
I also wonder if you could add view ports to stock tubs? cut a thin long section out of the tub, affix acrylic to that and have a view port???Plywood tank with glass viewing ports?

The back room ones do not have to be pretty either. Just water tight.I am building plywood tanks for frags that are getting sold in the store.
They are going to be 96 x 36 x 11" with 1/2" thick glass long sides.
At first there will be two of them end to end. we will have room for more as we grow.
I could have bought custom glass tanks this size for about $1000 each. This way it will cost under $600 for both of them.
I guess I could build a couple more for the back room at the same time as the ones for the show room.

True. I will be in the same boat this fall or winter. I am looking to build a macro grow out system since I love them as much as corals. Still planning this, as I have a dry 500g tank sitting where the macro growout would go lol. Too much stuff to do after our move lol.Yeah, but, I plan on having visitors in the future that will want to see the facilities so I better make them purdy to start with. LOL!

I will bring cheato and graciliria with me, as that is all i have right now. As for the pods, we can discuss that for sure, as there have been some changes, but they dont really affect anything on your side.Oh! I almost forgot. The guy that's going to be running the PTSD non-profit side of Main Street Aquariums would like some different macros if you can bring some it would be most appreciated. Also, want to carry your pods and macros in the store so we need to discuss that as well.

I cannot think of an idea better than what you suggest. Especially if you are looking to make sure the is 0 chance of any baddies that may hitch a ride.Question:
I need to cycle 25 air driven sponge filters. How would you do it?
I was thinking putting them all in a large tub of saltwater and run air to them like normal but do a super concentrated cycle of ammonia and microbacter 7 and just let it run for 30 days while testing and dosing ammonia and bacteria as needed.
Thoughts?
Feel free to refer this question to someone with some experience if you are aware of them.
