I’m also a big fan of painting the inside of the Aquarium Stands Gloss White. I used the Rust-Oleum Brush on Topside Paint, special ordered from Home Depot. Boating store wouldn‘t sell me their Topside Paint, without providing a Hull Number. Their loss my gain, as it was cheaper that way.

Like @Projects with Sam said iodide is better. For infections, an iodine dip is recommended. Dosing is helpful but doesn't kill the infection.

Good morning, Team Styx and Happy Sunday! Today's plans include a sizeable WC, corraline / glass scraping, sandbed maintenance, replacing two (2) Apex optical sensors in the sump (this set failed after only 3 weeks <SMDH>), nuking some aips, and giving all powerheads, nori clips, and feeding stations a bath in citric acid. Oh, but first, it's time to do the nasty:

I just switched back to float switches after several optical failures. This is the way.
Also, good luck maintaining acess to that sink. The court papers will likely be coming soon.

Yeah, I have some on reserve that I'll probably wire in to the BoB when this new set fails. I'm just lazy and don't want to pull everything out to drill the sump.

Wait, you keep court papers on reserve?

I'm about done with corals for a bit I think. Starting to work on some Aragocrete racks for the corals I have. Once they start growing in I'll consider selling or trading some frags for cheap, upgrade some equipment, and then maybe sell/trade a few more to get some cash for more fish and corals. We'll see. Will power tends to be my downfall. :zany-face: :winking-face-with-tongue: :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

It's so good! I get it by the case. My regular go to is the dark roast by Kirkland (Costco), but the blueberry is a guilty pleasure.
