I lost about $1000 worth of corals on a faulty hydrometer. Not worth it! Go get a refractometer.

I'm cheap. I used a pet food storage container from the container store. http://www.containerstore.com/s/kitchen/food-storage/pet/pet-food-containers/123d?productId=10006457 The 22-lb one holds about 14-15 gallons and usually lasts my 215-gallon for about a week. I currently have it hooked up directly to my RO/DI unit and ran the tubing through the wall of my garage, above a door frame, and into my tank stand. Most people don't notice it at all. Before I had it hooked up directly to the RO/DI system, I just wheeled it over to my RO/DI setup in the garage and filled it up and then wheeled it back to my tank and put it back in place on the side of the tank. That's why I got the one with wheels. I thought about getting an electronic solenoid for the RO/DI line like Dan but it caused me to go through my DI resin way faster than I wanted. Everytime that RO/DI line came online, it would push about 120 TDS into my DI resin and my resin wouldn't last past 6 months. I manually flush my line prior to DI stage now for a whole 1 minute and it reduces it to 11 TDS before I allow it to go to my DI resin and that allows my DI resin to last a full year now. Maybe one day I'll setup a dual electric solenoid setup where it flushes my line for 1 minute first before opening the line to start filling up my ATO. That way, it's like an automatic flush and fill... with the Apex, the possibilities are endless! Dan, you try it first so I can just copy you!

Awesome, now I will have more than one store to visit when I find myself on the other side of the world!

Welcome!

Flame hawkfish!

Not if I buy that encrusted part on the frag rack! [emoji41]

Pick me! Pick me! [emoji6]

Plus way more expensive!

Good fun as always! Thanks to all those that came out and for Mike and Jana for putting this together!

T-minus 3hrs! [emoji41]

You mean it took you awhile to ask me and I told you it was too much light? [emoji23]

Buy a frag and I'll send you home with some good stuff! [emoji4]

Sweet! Glad to hear they've acclimated to their new home -still have two more frags (pictured) available- Bring them to the swap!

Hmmm... That equipment looks a little familiar! [emoji6]

Beer for plate?Deal! I'll take the brown ale sir! [emoji41]

Here you go sir. http://www.austinreefclub.com/topic/31246-360g-72x42x27-sps-heaven/

Good, you can man my station so I can go buy from the likes of Richard, Dan, Woods, and Pham and whoever else is selling frags! This is going to be a blast!

Just a heads up, I will be bringing a ton of chaeto packed with feather dusters, mini brittle stars, micro snails, and pods to give away with purchase.

The person I got them from had good growth from these guys without feeding so that's why I pulled the trigger. I do feed my tank a ton so I'd imagine there will be a lot of suspended food that they may get. I also feed a micro food about 2x/week (reef chili and coral frenzy) so that should hopefully help too. We will find out. I had one last about a year in my last tank but it was a wild one from AquaSD. Hopefully these aquacultered one's have a better success rate.

Guess who's encrusting? My aussie echinata, that's who! I gave him a respectable spot front and center. Epic photobomb from my emperor while I was taking a picture.

I'm digging the music! The tank looks great Chipp!

You bringing all that goodness to the swap Saturday Juiceman?

I think her face will turn redder than her hair!You did say you wanted to be buried in it........Tis' true. I'm going for old age taking me out... not an angry redhead!

I think her face will turn redder than her hair!

I mentioned it to the wife and didn't even get a response. That's epic level rejection there! [emoji23]
