Bonus Entry 1: Discovering my cat puked on my reef tank

What a way to start the day...

I was walking past my 40 gallon reef tank and got a nasty surprise. The cat that likes to sit in the window above it had puked on the tank. Yuk! At least there's a lid and nothing got into the tank itself. If there had that would have been a nightmare to deal with. Whew!

Those who did fish-in cycling, what were your ammonia readings and when did those readings occur?

As per title. Also if you could describe your biomedia setup (sand, rocks, artificial media, etc.) and whether they were 'pre-established' (live rock/sand or established artificial media from someone else's tank for example) would be great too. And did you dose any microbes too, yeah. I am...

Brine Shrimp-raising

So I've been hatching brine shrimp for my 3 tanks (2 salt, 1 fresh) as I was getting in some new fish. I have a hatchery and I'd just take out the ones ready and put them in a mason jar with an airline. Every once in a while I'd dump in a pinch of Spirulina powder or some phyto. I wasn't aiming...

here is a link to my thread about setting up rolling turbulence from my Tunze 6055 electronics.

Setting up dual Tunze 6055 electronic’s to pump inversely

I just got 2 new Tunze 6055 electronic powerheads and I’m wondering if anyone has set them up to work inversely to eachother and how to do it? I think eventually I will have them programmed to a profilux when I buy the controller, but for now I plan to set them up connected to eachother. I...

How much ammonia should nitrifiers be able to handle daily for you to consider a tank cycled?

A cycling question for y'alls. Dr. Tim's fishless cycling method (https://www.drtimsaquatics.com/resources/fishless-cycling/) states that nitrifiers should be able to handle 2ppm (or rather, 2-3ppm) ammonia a day for an aquarium to be considered cycled. But of course, we all have different...

How much ammonia does your feeding produce?

Heyo! I want some data from you guys if possible. I want to see how much ammonia your feeding is producing. Could you describe: 1. How often you feed. 2. How much ammonia is produced from your feeding. To calculate the latter, for each type of food multiply amount fed (in mg) x % protein...

Official entry,

Okay, more contests to enter demanding that we put posts in our build thread, so, back to the regularly scheduled program. (As if there is anything regular about this post.) Continuing on from post #3 (see how sad this is, there are more post not regarding the build than there are actually talking about it. My bad!) Now, um, oh yeah, the story... So Brett walks us back into the warehouse and is pointing out all these monstrous tanks and I'm wondering which part of "I only have room for a 36" cube" he wasn't understanding, not that I was planning on buying anything anyhow. And then it happened, (cue the hallelujah music;Singing) the only tank I have room for finally comes into view. Now if you've ever watched "Tanked", specifically the one where they build Shaq's diesel truck/superman tank then you've seen my tank. No, not the one Shaq got but the reject one where they screwed up the measurements the first time.;Facepalm Just a plain, simple, no fake coral inserts, thick walled, well made tank of a tank. I didn't know it at the time but my wife had decided right then and there that she was not going to let me leave without it. (Oh look at that, time to go enter another contest. To be continued.)
