I know on my unit the waste water continues for 5-10 minutes before it reaches the back pressure required to shut  the water flow off. It does work but maybe give it more time to shut off(hopefully that’s it).

I usually run mine for ten hours from 8 until 6.

Sounds like a lot of fun, unfortunately cannot make it due to a family wedding. 🙁

Thank you all for coming we had a blast!

The best advice on keeping the tank quiet came from Luis, raising the drain tubes in the internal overflow box to reduce the splash. Worked like a charm, Thanks Luis!

Hello, this will be my first meeting with the group and I'm really looking forward to attend.  My wife and I will be bringing potato salad.

We live in Woodfield subdivision down the street and it will be great to meet new friends!

 

 

Awesome, looking forward to meeting you both!

Def will not be at this one. Amber and I are leaving for Hawaii to celebrate our 2yr anniversary that morning. 

If we get a big response I can help to get some adult beverages into the hands of someone who is going, just let me know. 

Craig, hope you have a nice, big turnout for it. Let me know if I can help with anything beforehand. 

Thanks! Great timing LOL, you're a weekend too late... I just sanded down the deck to bare wood and re-stained it. (Built a temporary canopy to protect it from all the rain). Now I need to work on the tank and all the other projects lined up for me.

Have a great trip, I'm jealous! Which island(s)?

My lovely bride has informed me we are serving fried chicken from Hollyhock Hills and grilled shrimp. 

My address is:  

921 Arrowwood Drive

Carmel, IN 46033

(just off 146th Street about 2 miles east of 31 - Meridian/Keystone)

Looking forward to it.

Great meeting! Thank you and Marcia for hosting. All Candy can talk about now is fish, inverts, and bacteria!  That new poster is really life-like. 🙄

That should be really fun to watch it grow out. Loved all the tangs in there, but that Blenny will have to go on a diet or it will explode!

Always fun, Thanks Again!

Awesome!

Hope you can make it to the next meeting. Look forward to meeting you then!

I'll be there. Looking forward to seeing the new poster  tank! (not sure if Candy can make it )

I agree they look like chiton. Maybe a third further on the upper left?  Always fun to get some of the good ones as hitchhikers!

The only time I upgraded tanks was... a little over 16 years ago and I didn't have corals as I was just a fowlr. The move was from a 55 to my current 125.  I did transfer all my sand but did "vacuum" it fairly well. I transferred the LR a portion one day at a time and then added some more. I only took one week to let the new tank settle but as I mentioned only a fowlr. I did not lose any fish and the cycle was minimal. I did not use Tim's at that time.

In your case, (assuming your bed is not deep... 1-2 inches) I can see taking more time but aside from cleaning the sand without destroying the bacteria. I would definitely would use Tim's and like you are doing plan, and be patient. Good Luck, I hope it all goes well!

The acquisition was not a good fit for either company {Big Box as compared to niche company}. It's a shame for those employees and their families. I hope they come out alright.

Brilliant!

A very nice meeting, thank you for hosting! It will be fun to watch you tank grow. I think we were all impressed by the organization and thought put into your system. Well done!

I recently purchased the Salifert test kit but prefer the Red Sea set up (glass curvet and holder/shaker hardware). So, I use the Salifert chemicals with the RedSea hardware. Both kits are similar in accuracy in my opinion. 

I should be able to make this meeting.  

I have no doubt this is a quality or tolerance issue.

I hope everyone has a SAFE, happy, successful, and wonderful 2019!

Nothing but good wishes.

Great party. Thank you for hosting! I hope your daughter swam well at her meet.

Looking forward to it! 

Sorry to hear this. The male is usually the smaller of the pair. Sometimes its just hard to figure out why they perish. I have no idea what a "typical" life span of a clownfish is, but you have to be doing something right for a six year run. 

I had a male /female (non-reproductive) pair for about 12 years. The smaller male died of unknown causes that I could detect  (clear eyes, no fungus, no labored breathing, all normal signs to me). I thought the female may go shortly thereafter. She is now 20 and I wouldn't even try to bring in another clown as I'm sure it would just be killed. I keep on thinking that the female looks a bit ragged as she now frequently has some split fins etc. but she hangs in there. If you are transferring to a new tank an addition is possible. Good Luck!

This is always a great time.  Count us in! 

I wonder if Amanda is going to bring a shovel to find her gift this year?  Or maybe Craig can bring a bucket for his pink gravel!?  Bahaha

You told me the pink gravel was to help disguise Cyano?     Your day will come!
