People who run CalRx have to make sure to keep an eye on their CO2 tank and be ready to get it filled on a moment's notice, or if you have a spare full tank, be ready to swap the backup tank for the active one when it runs out.

Has anyone seen this tank or build thread for the stand? Would this be a decent diy or was this professionally done..if so who do I call?

These come with the Fiji Cube AIO kit, which costs 3x what I paid for the internal pump/medium box I have, minus a hole I’m drilling for the pump hose and these clamps (also separate magnets apparently). I have no idea what this exactly is aside from “acrylic hang clamps” that is noted in the...

Just wanted to report that after many months we had a beautiful bicolor blenny carpet surf despite a DIY mesh cover. We left a 3” gap at the back for HOB gear and maybe a 1” gap max at the front and yet, somehow, he managed to jump out. Conditions were good, he seemed content nipping at the...
