Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Once you treat with copper you will likely be unable to keep inverts in the future. The copper will leave residue in your tank following the treatment, the rocks, the sand, and potentially the silicone can all absorb it and subsequently release it.
Hypo shouldn't "kill" your live rock or live...
I like the rockwork.
If you are going to have lots of larger fish that need swimming room, I think what you did is a great fit for them.
If you add one or two small pieces to that middle structure, I think it would look very natural. I am in the midst of re-aquascaping the 205, so I feel your...
If you can, I'ld go a bit bigger for the anthias than a 20g. We have acclimated and QTed anthias in a 65g with good success, and I think you would do well with something 30 breeder sized. If they are smaller anthias or a smaller group, the 20g may be fine, I just worry about water quality in a...
Soooo I'm bad with updates.

I've had a bit of a battle with this tank recently, my Pom Pom crab lost his Pom Poms in the tank move/breakdown/recreation following hurricane sandy, and I was...

Your tank should be large enough to house both of them once the old guy calms down.
I found that shot glasses (the taller thin ones) worked well as "bolt holes" in our 30g cube. You could try something like that...
You made a good decision breaking the tank down. It stinks in the short run, but you have given yourself the best chance of success in the future.
When I have used Cu in the past, I've seen a positive or a negative result begin within 24-48 hours, but I have never dealt with velvet.
Good...
I'm sorry to hear about your losses Paul.
Our SPS are just recovering from all of the issues we have had, but I am sure we can cut a few frags for you in the near future. Let us know when is a good time.
