  2. Neon Goby added after quarantine

    Thirty five days ago I bought a Neon Goby from my LFS1 and decided to try my first quarantine (despite that LFS being trustworthy to always quarantine their fish). The little guy did well inside my Boyu MT-30 quarantine tank despite the temperature swings, the not-as-frequent-as-I-should feedings and lack of light (which I guess he doesn't care for).

  3. DIY LED fixture of fun (SOL rip off) part 4

    Allot has been done since my last update and I’m happy to say the light is working! And hanging!

    I made my black acrylic housings what allow for a piece of glass to slide in, this will protect from spray and splashing.

    I used U channel aluminum to attach the 2 units together and hung it with my existing hanging kit from my old fixture.

  5. Every Reefers Worst Nightmare

    This has been a very tough week.... My wife and I recently bought a second house, and decided to rent our old house to my wife's brother and his wife. I didn't want to move my 30g reef over to the new house till I had my new 75g up and cycled. My intent was to move everything over slowly and minimize the risk of losing any livestock. I have been going over to the old place to do water changes and maintenance about once or twice a week. Well i received a text the other day saying my sister in law ...
