I upgraded to a reef octopus hob-90 and have had some problems with it. A few months ago the pump jammed because a snail snuck in; I disassembled and cleared it out, then it was working fine. A couple of weeks ago it overflowed badly, emptying the tank to the level of the intake overnight...

Congrats Dave!

Haha I was waiting. It did eat the whole thing-I was surprised. And no sign that it spit any out. Pretty wild, glad I caught it in action.

Sorry. Didn’t occur to me not to answer but makes sense. My bad.

It was eating the molt of a cleaner. Thought it was pretty cool.

Thanks for the rock Herb. Best of luck breaking the tank down and going forward.

Happy to split with you Diana if you wanted the dry rock

And I’ll take the rock in the garage. Thanks so much!

ive never heard of those in saltwater. How is their temperament? Aggressive at all to inverts or other fish? What do they eat?

Meant to send that as a dm....i don’t need the tank and my wife will give me hell, but someone has to take it.

Working out my weekend....ill be in Cranford Friday evening so maybe can grab it then...what’s your availability? I defer to anyone else interested but I’m blown away nobody’s jumped.

I've read that frag plugs are an area that aiptasia often can be attached to. Technique depends on the type of coral (though not doing damage is not my specialty lol)

Great question. QT definitely is best practice but like most others I don’t. I dip and then rinse in tank , and lately I’ve taken to a short freshwater dip as well (only one minute). I prefer to remove from frag plugs if possible.

I like getting small frags and having them grow in over time. Not only keeps the cost down but leaves room for the reef to grow in. Toadstool has been awesome to watch grow from 2-3 inches to more than double that (and when it flattens out/opens up even more). Mine has standard tan color but...

I’ve been thinking the same thing!

Haha. That sounds like quite a setup you’ve built!

Take that invitation Sponge! Great writeup Paul, I love the idea of using bricks.

I don’t disagree with anything you said, they certainly did not save the hobby, what an outrageous statement. And you’re right-it’s a reality show, but the only one I’ve enjoyed because their creations for the most part were pretty cool. I enjoyed the show despite their flaws, which is an...

I like the show. Really creative, fun tanks. Could do without the drama nonsense but they were having fun in the hobby. Brett's post is awful, but I guess it's frustrating to see people in the hobby reject what he's been working on for the past fifteen years. People need to lighten up--both...

I’m sure I have, in Freehold. Haven’t harvested the fuge in a bit and intend to later or tomorrow. Also have sea lettuce in there.
