Sugar gliders are awesome. I'd love to get one but it's illegal here in Cali. Do you let it chill on your shoulder and watch it glide? that's all I want haha.. a sugar glider hanging on my shoulder.

She's my sons. She does but the boy died. Never figured out why. Cali has a lot of restrictions on pet ownership.

Forgot to mention I'm trying to get a barracuda gold hybrid to use as my return and then I can use a L1 as second return and one as CL along with the Diablo DC CL

Great selection in CO2 regulator. I would love to have one, but the US/Cdn exchange rate is too much at this time. I had one of the originals years ago and loved it. I will get another if the exchange rate improves, but till then will use my Milwaukee.

Never buzz type. Meant to say. All the equipment except for the algae scrubber which has been ordered is here. No excuses as everything is in place except for the time. Big tanks equal time work and patience is the next phase and husbandry. I have one aquarist who gives me advice adn it is much appreciated. Hope this ends up in 100's of pages. Lmao

what media do you plan to use?

if you haven't decided yet, I recommend Siporax. made out of glass. no leaching.

i built a media section in my sump. put a drilled acrylic box inside and stacked these Siporax rings. keeps nitrate at 0

I have 2 large bio pure bricks. I figure the leaching will happen at the beginning and since I likely won't really be adding coral till likely xmas time. Siporax looks good and interesting.

Wanted to thank both Geo for the dual reactor and suggestions as well as TB aquatics who sold me most of my equipment on this journey. Gotta put everything together and take a pic of everything together. Anyone have experiences with the hammerhead/Barracuda gold hybrid pump? Read some things about leaking.
