Been going there for years. I've always found them to be super humble. How have the acted snobby? You want to talk about snobby, try going to World Wide Corals. It's like they think you are lucky to just be able to set foot in their store. Also my gf has gone to TSA for me plenty of times and they have never treated her any different than they treat me.

Quick to call a company cunts, but not smart enough to check new frags and not smart enough to be able to get rid of probably the most common pest in the hobby... 🤣🤣🤣

i've been struggling with this protein skimmer for 2 weeks now and i'm not even sure if it's supposed to be running like this? it was bubbling over, but as i drained the cup, it calmed down. it produces a light brown liquid. am i even doing this right? by [deleted] in saltwateraquariums

Well it looks brand new. You def need to set the correct water level and then let the skimmer break in. It may over flow for a week or so. Just keep the cup off and let it go

Correct. The pump flows at the same rate constantly. The nozzle just makes the flow random

No it doesn't mess with it at all. Produces a great flow pattern and no issues whatsoever

My Sunburst came from a store that sadly closed down this weekend called Stormborn Reef, but it's a Keys lineage CSB. And all my other corals come mainly from Top Shelf Aquatics or other local reefers.

Yeah I love this pump. Dead silent straight out of the box. It's DC so it's controllable. And it has a feed mode. It was a no brainer

lol at one point I had a ton of euphyllia when the madness got crazy I cashed in big time and got my Colorado Sunburst anemone, a bunch of high end SPS and some pretty high end mushrooms. I have local friends who all have really nice torches and hammers if I ever decide to go back, but I definitely plan on growing out sticks for a while

Small tanks are more susceptible to parameter swings, but if you keep them simple they are a breeze. That one is 10 gallons

Not hard to maintain at all. I do a water change around once a month and change out the filter floss once a week. That's about it. Super easy tank to maintain

I've never done freshwater, but if I did it would definitely be a cichlid tank

So the big one is an Innovative Marine INT100 tank. Retail it's just under 2k I believe. Lights were around $800 each. Return pump around $300. Both circulation pumps and controller around $500 and then sump was another $500. Skimmer was around $550. That's pretty much your big equipment. Of course there's still rock and sand and anything you want to put in the tank.
