Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

I showed Ms. Linda the trachy at dinner on Friday. She said "is that thing alive" lol

Trachys look like Italian gangsters

So the controversial part is a fit women excited about getting a bike for Christmas from her husband.
I seen the commercial and I never thought about it being offensive. I saw a women who liked working out and wanted the bike.

To be honest if they showed a heavy set person on the bike, it would have been offensive for a whole different reason.

People need to understand when they should be offended and when they should just move on.

Amen, not going to say much more than this but I’m tired of outrage culture. It’s gotten too extreme

Real talk here, what does it take to have clown babies?

I AM NOT planning on it, just curious?

From my understanding, you have to change the temp of the tank to simulate season change

They do like warmer water(like 80-81F), to initiate breeding.
I plan to breed clowns on my own as a hobby project once my clowns are big enough.
Going to get one of the Reed Mariculture kits from Reef Nutrition.

Katrina, you should definitely add one to your elfster list.

If I could afford one, though, I would just buy a new tank!

;Hilarious
:p

Ahhh a man with his priorities straight, I can appreciate that :)

Old tanks are more trouble than they are worth! Unless you find a good one.

I think most of that depends on the previous owner and how they cared for said tank while wet and dry.

Do you use random flow generators? I have a powerhead you can have!

I have a wave maker but don’t use it. Most of my corals prefer lower flow, and the returns are hitting the top of my rock structure immediately which breaks it up. It took a ton of trial and error but I’m actually really happy with my flow (18x turnover). I looked into random flow generators, but they seem to work better with stronger return pumps.

I love this post!! “controversy” now means at least one person sent out an angry tweet.

At some point, “being offended” gave the offended person power. Which is an offensive concept! If you don’t like a commercial, turn off your tv...Don’t like someone else’s opinion? Don’t listen to them. Don’t agree with someone else’s lifestyle? Worry about your own.

What flow do you have coming out? Seems those RFGs like around 6-900 GPH depend on the size of them

Unfortunately we live in a world full of pansies (Not the flower). Everyone these days gets offended at the drop of a hat and the world is ending until someone does something about it.

I f-word hate twitter.

I'll expand that to virtually all social media platforms and having to be politically correct.

Random guy..."I have no other avenue of mass broadcasting my pi****g and moaning"

Twitter..."We've got a platform for you, come on down!"

2x returns rated at about 252gph each. Way to weak individually for RFGs to be effective, at least that was my conclusion when I looked into it. My LFS carries them, but is also honest and told me not to buy.

I'm spoiled have been running vortech mp 10 since day 1

Yeah that's WELL below most of the RFGs I wouldn't do it either..

Nice!! How big is your tank? For my little fishbowl, I wish I could get a slightly weaker flow, which is why I was looking at RFGs in the first place! I’ve got my SPS up top anyway, they are fine. Everything else is happier with much less.
