Scott is not with Orphek anymore. I do not know who the local rep is at the moment. You may want to check their web site under support to see if they can give you information on a local rep. orphek.com

Welcome to the club! Heed the advice, have fun, and get ready to become addicted to this hobby. As Puffdragon mentioned, patience is key in this hobby. You will have your ups and downs, but in the end it is well worth it.

Sorry to hear that Amanda. I may have to look into this as well. Twice in the last month my skimmer has overflowed. Luckily it is contained in the stand. My skimmer is typically the culprit of my overflows (a few operator errors as well). I need to hook my leak detector so it will shut my skimmer off and I do like the autoaqua security option...may have to look into that as well.

I have tried those as well and thought they were very good!

Thanks Jochen!

Wow, amazing job!

Marcia and I were really looking forward to being there. We completely forgot that we will be in South Carolina for my Mom's 75th birthday that weekend. 😥 Any volunteers to take notes for me?

Nice Corals you picked up!

I will be there, not sure if I will have any frags ready by then.

Looks great Jochen! Great selection of fish! In addition to the rock work of course! I'm sure the corals will do great having seen your setup and knowing how well you maintain your tank.

Nicely done! Love all the DIY that you did! Nice job with the stand (especially drilling holes for the overflows) and the rail to hang the lights.

Looks great! Love the rock work. Very well done!

Congrats to you and Jen!! Awesome news! Mural looks fantastic. Keep posting pix, I'll use it to help remind me what corals I have in my tank...or at least want in my tank! lol!

Some of these have been covered in the past and for some these may seem to basic but I thought I would through some ideas out there to get the conversation started. Lighting: pro's and con's of the different types. Sump/Refugium set-ups and best practices Methods for keeping Phosphates in check As Apex continues to gain in popularity; programming your APEX to get the most out of it Water flow in a reef aquarium Sand Using a calcium reactor; pro's and con's and how to set them up correctly Hardware Update to simplify keeping a marine aquarium; automation, ATO's, other system outside of APEX, water testing, leak detection, auto water changes, etc.

Welcome to the Club! Look forward to meeting you either at the Frag Swap or the next monthly meeting!
