    Krish, take good care of that back and take time to recover SLOWLY! Remember a good back comes in handy when trying to walk upright! Hope you feel better soon!

    thanks I didn't have the money to custom paint one so i got one with graphics. I like the all black stealthy look. The graphics are just decals but better than plain paint IMO. Once it's paid for some of the parts like foot pegs, shifter and brake handle and other things will get powder-coated...

    Jesse's 40B with 20L sump

    Well good news and bad news. Lately I have been fighting the causes of a overwhelming algae bloom. I installed a carbon reactor done multiple changes and kept the system super clean. But today while shutting everything down to add some copepods, I discovered the location of the missing lemon...

    Jesse's 40B with 20L sump

    From what i've read the likelihood of the baby snails surviving is slim to none. But it's good to see something in the tank doing well and not struggling. A step in the right direction for sure.

    Jesse's 40B with 20L sump

    Do you mean overflow box? when i did the final construction of the tank I pretty much built it in a way that I can't take the overflow box off. It would be a lot of work for sure. But we can talk about it when i pay you a visit. The snail was laying eggs until just now and fell off the glass...

    Jesse's 40B with 20L sump

    Happy news I'm about to be a father! I came in this morning and saw one of my Tonga Nassarius Snails laying eggs in a feather pattern. I have never seen this before they hardly ever climb on the glass. His/Her body is all shriveled up and looks horrible but i decided not to interrupt the process.

    Jesse's 40B with 20L sump

    I had a piece of black plastic wire mesh zip tied over the overflow teeth at one point but all it seemed to do was collect algae and looked horrible. so i removed it and the chaos has taken place. Still trying to find the balance between looks and performance with this tank. I think next time...

    Jesse's 40B with 20L sump

    I've been very happy with it so far. I removed every other tooth so let more water flow through. The only problem I've had so far is when 2 big snails decided to crawl in and restrict the flow to much and flooded the display. Stupid snails! The carbon reactor is working perfectly. Easy to...

    Jesse's 40B with 20L sump

    I would say the tank is starting to show signs of improvement and am happy with the results so far. I started out light on the carbon and will increase as time goes on. Also not worried about the corals they all went home till the tank recovers. Yes i took some ugly algae shot for the before...

    What's your background?

    I have 2 tanks: 40B and a 57 illuminate both with backs painted black. So far no chips, scratches or problems on either tank.

    I'm not saying it's the best beer ever made, but i did get a taste for Red Horse when I was in the Philippines for so long. In the PI they only drink Red Horse, San Mig Light and San Miguel Beer Pale Pilsen I never saw the rest. Thanks for the info now I have more to look for.

    Jesse's 40B with 20L sump

    I agree now i have the float almost all the way out of the water and just the bulb is in so no more critters/debris getting stuck. I got in the Carbon reactor today. It's my first one ever. took about an hour to install with a run to HomeDepot. I hope to see some real progress over the next few...

    What type of carbon?

    Thanks Boomer my system is 55 gallons +- so I'll start with 5-6 tsp and work my way up to 1/3 cup over the next few months. This thread and your advice have been very helpful and I'm looking forward to running this reactor and seeing the magic happen. thanks for the invite to give you a call...
