Got these 6 on order for the tank

And 30 designer clowns from sustainable aquatics

Very nice I wish I had the skills to pull off something like this. How do you like the craftsmanship on your SCA?

The glass is low iron - that’s a plus all edges are rounded and it feels real sturdy .. the caulking tho could have been nicer . But for the price it’s more than worth it . I looked everywhere and it was almost 40% the cost of the competition

Need to finish the canopy today and set the tank . Going with four t5 fixtures as supplements and leaving room in the middle for led lights - split between the new kesssils or the reef breakers phantom v2 for the price ?

I’m no pro at this by far, but I do like the Kessil. I have 4 T5s with a a360 over my 60 gallon cube. Anyways, build looks awesome, look forward to tank updates!

JUNK!!! Don’t buy it - I’m $139 dollars short lol - started it yesterday and it made the worst noise everything was grinding , let it ran for about 6 hours - noice went away but comes back here and there also the pressure is no where near 15000 litters advertised

Let’s try this one out - couldn’t really find any reviews online but the only thing my local lfs had in stock

You are going to want a gate valve on the main siphon drain. Really need the ability to fine tune that siphon.

Sustainable aquatics / coral reef fish just arrive - honestly what a rip off out of 30 ten where of quality . Lesson learned BRS be careful who you recommend before a long time viewer listens and spends hundreds of dollars on mediocre fish @randyBRS #askbrstv @Bulk Reef Supply

 

[Samuel Diaz]

Idk if they are trying to save on shipping cost but really ? Some bags had less than an inch and a half of water - sorry guys I’m just upset [emoji34] pictures to fallow

24 dead only six survivors

Last night when I put them in the quarantine tank many had trouble acclimating and breathing - fed them and only a few wanted some- this morning half where moving half where inside the rocks - around 11 am they just started falling like flies

Only 6 survivors

Checks my parameters and all is fine ?

Shock ? Thought ? - too small for a 2 days travel with low water ?

how big is the QT and what kind of aeration do you have? Do you think there might have been too many with not enough air exchange (i.e. suffocation)?
