Sorry to hear that . Mold is the worst
Thats what contractor said and there is apparently a material shortage with roofing and flooring. He said a separate company will have to go in a nd treat/ventilate before they can start work which I am on a waiting list but I should be getting close to the top and awaiting a phone call. I will be down for a week or so when I get the call.

I would buy digital testers for salinity phosphate and whatever else is available. Am fed up of deciphering colours with test kits and losing sleep wondering whether both refractometers give false readings.

Definitely a new tank!

I bought my budget 10g nano for the equivalent of $30 2 years ago. It's still going strong but I'd love a new tank without all the scratches and marks this one has

I’d get the bigger ATO Reservoir and UV that have been in my BRS cart for the last month. The $200+ shipping charges is holding me back, hard to justify.

Splurge! If you were given $1,000 to spend on reef equipment, what item(s) would you put it toward?

The holidays are over and we’ll have to wait until next year for more presents, but what if we could still dream a little longer…what if you could spend $1,000 on reefing equipment? What item(s) would you put the money toward? Would it be a controller, lights, pumps, reactor, skimmer, testing machine, or something else? Let’s dream a little and discuss what a $1,000 splurge would be – please join us in the discussion thread!

BTW, while we aren’t currently giving away $1,000, R2R is hosting a giveaway for a Deltec Skimmer so please following this link to enter! Good luck!!!
