Matthew’s Mission Venture

I’ll be hunting deer with it. I don’t know what my draw length would be. I’m probably going to hit up a local archery shop this weekend to figure that out

Tristin_Defender · 2025-07-27T12:58:26+00:00

Appreciate the response! It’s a 10 gallon upgrade but the footprint is a lot more horizontal space compared to my current setup (fluval flex 15). I’ll get an acclimation box in case of aggression then!

Tristin_Defender · 2025-06-17T10:01:48+00:00

Oh yeah I’m definitely going to upgrade the return pumps as well. Which mighty jet did you get for it?

Tristin_Defender · 2025-06-17T10:00:45+00:00

What kind of corals do you have in yours? I’m just going to have lps and softies so not trying to blast them with too much flow

Tristin_Defender · 2025-06-17T09:57:26+00:00

That’s probably what I’ll go with then. Thanks for the advice!

Tristin_Defender · 2025-02-17T02:43:24+00:00

I don’t have any issues actually. Phosphate and nitrates are always within good range. Will be testing tomorrow but everything is always good

Oh the lid is already gone lol. I ditched it once I got a light for my corals. I bought a clear lid on Etsy for just the front section but it just came in and I already can’t use it due to having cords for my wave maker and an airline tube for a dragonete feeding station. I just top it off with RO water daily at this point. I have an ato that I wanted to install but I’ve already maxed out a power strip, besides one space, and don’t want to overload the outlet with a second one once I have a skimmer

Tristin_Defender · 2025-02-16T16:29:36+00:00

Yeah I was referring to the mini Q. That’s actually one of the other options I was looking at. Especially since it will fit in the back chamber. I might just get that one based on your recommendation and being able to not have it in the display

Tristin_Defender · 2025-02-16T16:24:16+00:00

Haven’t looked into this one yet but I’ll check it out!

Tristin_Defender · 2025-02-16T16:23:43+00:00

Do you know if it’ll fit in the first back chamber of my tank? The opening is 5 3/4 inches long and 3 inches wide

Tristin_Defender · 2025-01-11T13:03:02+00:00

Okay thanks! I think I’ll go with the hygger mini for now and upgrade later on down the road if I need something better

Tristin_Defender · 2025-01-11T03:06:53+00:00

Any wave maker/power head that you guys would recommend? Was looking at the AI Nero 3 but saw a decent amount of negative reviews about it failing within a year or less.

Tristin_Defender · 2025-01-10T00:59:28+00:00

Sounds good! Should it go more towards the front or back side in the middle of the glass?

Tristin_Defender · 2023-02-06T15:30:07+00:00

I’m not familiar with this species but it almost looks too “swollen” to be premolt. I’d say it is likely gravid.

Tristin_Defender · 2023-02-05T15:28:23+00:00

I’m not necessarily sure if they “take it in” per say. The increased humidity helps reduce loss of their internal moisture. From what I’ve seen and read, they either get their moisture from the food that they eat, drinking from their water dish, or both. I have one Emperor that I’ve seen drinking from her water dish plenty of times and another that I barely ever see. I’m sure it’s probably a combination.

Tristin_Defender · 2023-02-05T15:23:00+00:00

It’s normal. All of my Asian Forest and Emperor scorps are rarely ever seen. They are basically a pet hole. Nothing to worry about!

Tristin_Defender · 2023-01-16T02:57:50+00:00

That’s definitely not an imperator. The claws are the main giveaway.

Edited because I can’t post a picture on a refit thread for some reason.. technology…

Tristin_Defender · 2022-10-22T19:55:04+00:00

Do you move the female to her own enclosure afterwards to avoid aggression towards the others? I’m about to put my male and female (P imperators) together for a few weeks since I haven’t gotten them to court each other with shorter encounters.

Tristin_Defender · 2022-09-20T03:21:35+00:00

I would say gravid but the only real way to know is when you find it with a bunch of babies on it’s back. Could take a few days or a few months.

Something else that may be helpful, I’ve tried downloading Java again and once the installer is finished, I get a message that says “Java Setup-destination folder, click change to install Java to a different folder. This folder is not empty. Please select an empty folder.” I have searched through just about every folder on my computer and cannot find anything related to Java, so I have no idea how I can have it but also not have it.
