Tiger conch is my favorite-keeps the sand bed clean and is a curiosity to anyone visiting who hasn’t seen one before.
Here’s a pic of a fighting conch I previously had; it got way too big and kept getting wedged between the rock, and one day my rescue was too late. The tiger conch remains...
I like this resource for ID’ing miscellaneous things I see but I can’t tell if it looks like any based on the picture: Hitchhikers Guide to the Reef Tank - RTAW Reefpedia
Also this Reef Cleaners guide to algae types can be helpful: Nuisance Algae ID Guide- Reef Cleaners
Thanks for reminding...
Must be bittersweet, but glad you found good homes for everything. Thanks for everything you've done for the club, Eric. It's been great trading with you over the years. You're one of the few members here who have met my kids and although they're shy around most people they were always...
Damn the end of an era? Edwin and Marcus you guys rocked it.....and great to get the convo going Paulie. Diana is a great nominee. I love the way the club persevered this tough time and is going strong. Paulie, your energy is a driving force-we need you to run for a position for sure.
Eric, welcome back buddy. Glad to hear you’re doing well and wishing you well on your travels. You’ve left your mark on this club-when you get back in the hobby pop over here and post some pictures. And come visit your fish anytime you’re back around town. They seem quite happy in their new...
We’re all learning from your successes Paulie! Finally ordered the overflow and getting my plumbing planned, I’ll be hitting you up for some ponies soon!
If ACC doesn't have or can't get, I'd also call Petco in Brick-ask for Andrew, he can tell you if they can order any.
My original fighting conch (from Tropiquarium, I miss that place) grew too large and wedged itself between the rock and the glass--and I set up initially making sure the rock...
now I know Paulie’s feeing better! Dude glad you’re at least somewhat on the mend....I feel for you brother and hope to read tomorrow that you’re feeling better than today. Now I know that doctor didn’t come through for you I’ll ask around more. Good luck dude
Eric, you'll love that wrasse. Give it time, definitely will bury itself until it's comfortable.
In time it'll bury itself at night and prowl your rock work throughout the day. Cool fish. Fun to watch it as night nears and it plunges into the sand bed.
Paulie, sorry to hear. If there's anything I can do let me know. Glad you tracked down a doc and he's referred by the prior one so you can get back to what was working. Feel better, and do't let needing help get you down--it gives the helpers a chance to shine and feel good doing it. Gotta...
I don’t see a manufacturer, I just see a tag with initials of who assembled it. It’s time to get this baby up and running-long past time. I’m not worried about disaster, we have the power managed and it’s in my basement next to a french drain. I’ll check again but if it’s siphon overflow...
The bottom of the tank has a sticker that says tempered glass, do not drill.
I think I have to assume the tank is not drillable, though many people tell me the bottom is often tempered and sides are not. Thoughts? I tried the polarized lens assessment but I’m not seeing what I’m told I’d...
