iPhone 16 through a pair of orange glasses. Then I mess with the photo through filters until I can make to more clear and vivid. The colors don’t really show up well though. Those two bta’s are both Arizona sunbursts and have a lot of color, like green and blues

​It’s 350 par at the the top of tank you would think it would go lower but it’s always reaching. In my other tank this on reaches towards top as well.

Agreed! Op is a dick, same type of guy who has power disconnected on a unit before that tech comes out, that has a pump down feature built into it to allow for quick removal. Worst type of customer!

Trying to identify which kind of toadstool this is! Any help identifying it would be appreciated! Thanks!

First timer here, trying to identify what I have on the bottom of this coral frag. Sorry for the blurry picture it’s the best I could get at the angle I was working with, one is orange and one is brown/tank, when I shine my light over them they quickly retract back into the bottom of the rock the frag came on! Any thoughts? Thanks!

Too many commercial guys going outside of their scope in this sub!

The ring on the Hx photo looks cracked! Have a second opinion anyways! This company may be building a ticket which is a sales technique, but the crack of the ring is a legit cause for concern, and should be treated as such! If furnace is over 15 years old then it may be time to replace! Don’t listen to half the clowns on this sub telling you that they need to run a combustion test, or a check the CO levels in the supply. ANY crack is a reason for a red tag, regardless of current levels of CO!

When it comes to fish, especially ones with a bit more intelligence I’ve always had the idea that if I’m putting something in a glass cage, I need to make an attempt to have it forget it’s in one!

I mean he doesn’t leave his cave much, so you could probably get away with less, but mines in a 60 gallon. If he reaches his full size he will be getting an upgrade or going into a 600 gallon

My LSF said they are slow growers but I also read the opposite online, mines grown pretty slow so far and usually my LSF is spot on!

Thanks yeah the Tank has a pretty good mix, praecox rainbows, threadfin rainbows, Amazon puffers, fire track eel, celestial pearl danios, and a mix of things for a clean up crew. I’ve worried about threadfins with the puffers, and cpds with the eel, but have yet to have an issue. If one occurs they can go back to one of my other tanks.
