    Syn's 850g.t.v Deep Brain system

    ya, no need to drain the tank for this. Works fine with all the water in it. The oxide stuff is for glass, and that would need to drain the tank for, but this is acrylic so dont need any special compounds or anything, just some sandpaper and elbow grease

    Syn's 850g.t.v Deep Brain system

    My year end task.... Resurface the inside of my tank to remove scratches that have built up over the last few years. Kind of a scary task at first but looks so much better once you finish a section. General process; Using a wet automotive sandpaper. I start at a 240 grit paper and work up in...

    Power of the Sun.

    No idea on par values but things grow well, and look amazing, so thats all I care about. I could measure the par since i have the club meter here all the time, but I am to lazy lol. But this is what I run. On my 500g DT I run 4x 250w MH with 14k DE bulbs and 6 Nico Bars (UV pop), and on the 85g...

    Vemetid control

    I've tried it but I found that it didn't kill. They just made them make a second tube instead. They only way that I have found that is sure to kill them is to take bone cutters, aka coral cutters, and crush the base of their shell

    How

    I am sure there will be plenty of opportunities to help out throughout the year, ill keep you in mind for stuff as things come up. Although overall the best way to help is to be active, be engaged, and start conversations/posts that get others engaged.

    Single head doser recommendations

    Don't trust anything BRS says. All their recommendations are paid and driven by the manufacturer. They arent true recommendations imo. They have even gotten worse in the last year or so and their prices have been climbing. Easy to find anything on there somewhere else for cheaper now days

    Pee cups

    The club has ordered 4oz specimen cups from Betty Mills in the past, but looking on there now, I see that the price of them has skyrocketed considerably since we bought them last. Previous we would by a case of them for around $53 but looking now it appears the cases have gone up to around 93...

    Vemetid control

    I wish they would die back, but not happening in my tank, they just keep getting more numerous. I crush the ones I can reach but there are tons I cant really get to and they are spreading endlessly it seems

    2023 reboot

    Ya, I dont see why not, although I think maybe we will do it as a Tank of the Year instead of monthly. They tried the monthly awhile back and it got redundant and old pretty quick. So instead maybe we do something to have ppl show a progression shot, with a current FTS and then an FTS from like...

    Vemetid control

    I don't know about you guys but I am in need of some major vermetid control. My tank isn't exactly easy to get into to do manual removal and they have got quite numerous despite the efforts I have made to try and control them. I do have bumble bee snails in the tank but they really don't seem to...
