The Official Asylum Reef Tank Thread

The place looks like they suffered a flood, hurricane, and a fire, then college kids moved in for 15 or 20 years.
I didn't give their stock, the little there was, much of a look. I just wanted out of there before I caught something. Mind ya, this is from a guy who worked in sh1t most of his life.

Girls in Birkenstocks?
Smelling like patchouli?
(not that I know anything about any of that...)


I would send you about 10 heads of Xenia if you think they would survive the trip. They are a beautiful weed in my big tank but I have not seen them grow anywhere else much.

They'd never make it, Lance. Thanks, though.
I found some in a place in Pittsburgh before. It's gone now, but the place across the street has been there since I was a kid and they have nice stuff. I found another place in Pittsburgh that has a HUGE selection, but we weren't looking for corals when we were there, just fish.
I'll probably have to head down there if I'm gonna have any luck.
The Cleveland/Akron area just seems devoid of any decent livestock places. I guess I'll just have to go across state lines to get the job done.

My replacement filters and membrane and DI cartridge came for my rodi unit. I got some tubing and fixed a leak, too. I got her all fired up and made my first 20 gallons of water. After feeding tomorrow, I'll clean some brown hair and start replacing a ridiculous amount of water for the next couple months until I get this hair under control.
When I was talking to the air, water, and ice girl, she asked if my system sat unused full of water. I told her no, then realized it sat around for quite awhile when I moved here. Apparently that's a very bad thing. It ruins your membrane and makes your RODI water smell like fish.
So there's yet another self-inflicted catastrophe I've set upon myself.
I'm glad it happened, otherwise I'd have never learned. My stuff is none the worse for the wear, and soon it'll get better.
I've learned volumes about reef keeping in the last month and keep reading constantly. Soon I may be able to keep stuff alive.
