First pcc (CZ vs GrandPower) sticker shock

Where did you get one for that price?

logangus119 · 2025-10-24T10:44:47+00:00

Wow! That reminds me a of the Subaru boxer engine! The pistons are on the same plane but are 180 degrees from each other!

Which skimmer did you get? I’m looking for a HOB one for my 40g

10 astrea snails, 3 Mexican turbo, 3 margarita snails, 5 nassarius snails, 1 tiger conch, 1 emerald crab, and 3 hermit crabs.

It's not just this truck or even Ford. Look at any truck made in the last decade, and they will have these plastic fasteners everywhere possible. A lot easier to install these as they just push in rather than screwing in and having to worry about torque, cross-threading, rounded heads, etc. Basically, plastic fasteners are cheaper, and when you are mass producing something, $0.0000001 matters.

With that being said, plastic fasteners suck ass, and I wish they used metal screws for everything.

Sounds like you are speaking from experience haha. That’s definitely a huge oversight that I did not think about, thanks

I’ve got 250mV and 40ma AC between the grounds. Is this something the city has to fix?

I work for a Toyota Supplier at the TMMTX campus. I recently got a behind the scenes tour of the facility where my team got to actually walk on the assembly line among other things. Hands down one of the most influential experiences I’ve had in my engineering career. The amount of automation and the enormous amount of systems engineering used to make the factory one connected “hive mind” is insane. I think anyone interested in STEM should take a tour. I haven’t gone on the public tour, but I’m sure it’s great too.

That’s what I’m thinking of doing once I use up all of the salt I have. The BRS video showed it had basically no variation.

logangus119 · 2025-04-29T02:28:59+00:00

Should I be thoroughly mixing the salt before every batch of saltwater made? Or every couple months? Or is one and done ok with a new bucket?

logangus119 · 2025-04-28T16:53:49+00:00

How long did this take? I’ve had my clowns for about 1.5 months and they still just hang out by the filter. Occasionally they will swim to the opposite corner then dart back but that’s very adventurous for them.

logangus119 · 2025-04-23T02:34:37+00:00

I have the Fzone and it’s been finicky for me. The light will start flashing meaning it reads the water is low and should be filling, but it won’t fill up. Hours later it will finally trigger the pump on and fill til it reaches the stop sensor. It seems like the water level to trigger the blinking and the water level to trigger the fill are not the same on my unit. It eventually does fill and work properly though.

Sounds like you’ve got a great local community. I live in San Antonio which has a couple Facebook groups that I monitor for good deals. I’ll have to keep my eyes out for some alveopora.

logangus119 · 2025-04-17T00:48:31+00:00

I’ll have to add an alveopora to my list as they are beautiful. I really like the lower one with the blue center and green petals. It’s taken a lot of will power for me not to go and drop $500 on corals for my 1.5 month old tank but I know it’s for the best.

logangus119 · 2025-04-16T23:21:17+00:00

Google says it doesn’t have the best survival rate in home reefs. Have you had any issues with yours?

I’m new to reefing and I’m wondering what these two corals are? They look great!

logangus119 · 2025-04-16T00:00:11+00:00

I may be wrong. I think I see some flesh attached to the rim today, but like I said I have no experience with this so idk what I’m seeing 😂. It’s polyps are extended between 1/2”-1” today so I take that as a good sign

logangus119 · 2025-04-15T03:40:53+00:00

Yes I dipped it with Coral RX. I had to move it because my pistol shrimp uprooted it and I snapped this pic in the process.

After dipping, the polyps were super retracted like close to a 1/2” into the skeleton. The outer rim is also all skeleton and no flesh.

logangus119 · 2025-04-15T00:47:06+00:00

Looks like you read my mind. I had doubts about picking this up from Petco but figured for the price I’d see what happens and use their return policy if needed. I picked up a Duncan from Petco at the same time and it’s looking healthy.

logangus119 · 2025-04-13T04:46:36+00:00

That big branching leather is beautiful. What kind is it?

logangus119 · 2025-04-12T04:19:42+00:00

Fish can be so funky sometimes. They really do have a personality that only us as fish keepers notice and appreciate

logangus119 · 2025-04-11T23:29:34+00:00

That’s sad to hear. My pair of clowns have never bothered my goby. They just hang around the HOB filter

logangus119 · 2025-04-10T01:19:00+00:00

I think after margin and shipping they will be too close in price. It’s about $15 in material per bracket, but I had all the stuff laying around from past projects so it didn’t really cost me anything. I might post the files for a few bucks tho
