    Life with an Eel

    Four score and seven minutes ago, well, not really, but at 4:45 this morning, our Hawaiian Dwarf Moray Eel decided to go exploring. I heard a thud, I heard a slither, I heard noises you shouldn't hear at 4:00 in the morning, even two score and seven minutes after the hour. I woke up Mike, and...

    The 210 tank build

    Mark, consider us the experiment. If the vinegar does not work, we will try something else, but we wanted to try vinegar first. If we have wasted a week, so be it, we will have learned something from it. 90%+ of our rock was new with this tank, it had never been used before. We bought it...

    Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank

    Woohoo! Go Jim! do your little angels have rounded or triangular anal fins? I had understood that Judi/female flame angels have a rounded fin, and males have a triangular anal fin. Fingers crossed that you either have a boy and a girl or two girls!

    Using nj saltwater

    There are people who do. You will do best if you go out away from the shore for your water in a boat. Some put the water straight into their tanks, others chlorinate it and dochlorinate it to remove life from the water before using it.

    Coral Restoration Foundation

    They need to spend $ to get permission to plant corals. Staghorn and elkhorn are endangered species on the protection list. There is red tape involved in Ken's projects, They are all in protected waters dealing with protected species, which results in legal fees. I don't know how much, but it...

    Extremely important please read

    Hi Paul, if listed as an endangered species, interstate commerce in A. Percula will be illegal. That means the only clownfish available for sale will be those bred in the state of NJ. I am not familiar enough with NJ's endangered species regulations above the federal floor to know if it has...

    The Federal Government says, "We find that the petition presents substantial information indicating that the petitioned action may be warranted for the orange clownfish (Amphiprion percula).

    MACNA Review

    Have to give TSA Denver credit, they were careful when they opened our coral box, no damage to any coral, and whoever wasa responsible for taping it shut again did a good job. Once I realized everything was fine, I had a good laugh thinking about the TSA inspectors faces opening up a box and...

    I love Cape May! i have never put macro from the Atlantic into my reef tanks. i did have a small 10g saltwater system that I ran with local inhabitants as a teenager, and I put macro from the ocean into that (and used local clams to filter the water). What about setting up a small North...

    The 210 tank build

    It has been a LONG time since we updated. UPDATE: corals are doing better. We finally have SPS up in the DT and encrusting (for the first time since setting up the 205 in Aug. 2012) and parameters stable. I tore apart and redid the rockwork, removing rock from against the back wall in an...
