    R.I.P Long Tentacle Plate Coral & General Update

    Rainbow acan is kickin. Why would you need help with the zoas? They're looking fine. Yeah, thats a bad scenario though, if they bite other corals... Best bet if that happens is to shoot them in the polyp.

    Dear reefers

    It's gone. Found someone who was being overrun with acros and montis.

    Chocolate Chip Starfish

    I adopted an angelfish from Mark earlier today after he cleared his tank, but there was also a leftover CC starfish which had surfaced. As Mark had no home for it and his tank was breaking down I figured I'd hold it and re-home (it was sort of a last minute surprise). I have a very large serpent...

    Dear reefers

    We've always posted trades under other sections, think it would encourage more trading if it had a specific forum. I like.

    Over a Year with No Water Change?

    Are you suggesting a salesman may present alternative facts? How dare you! I heeded my dealership's advice and with keeping my monthly oil change and rotation schedule my car has been fine for over four months, though it is hard to fit in time-wise with my bi-montly colonoscopies that my GI doc...

    Relevance of flow in SPS tank

    I'm going to get arrested for fish battery. So I put 2 of the SOW-15s in the tank (105g 4'Long, 2' deep). Dropped them about 4" below the water line on the back wall, one on each end. Angled them at 35˚ or so to meet mid-tank. Cranked up power to 100%. My sandbed got blown about and I had slosh...

    Greetings from Maui!

    I was in a tube in our 12' round 18" deep kiddie pool and I saw a skater beetle. Yours is better.

    Relevance of flow in SPS tank

    Been doing some research on reliable, quiet, big water movers at a good price and the Jaebo SOW-15 keeps popping up. Plan on ordering 2 or 3 when I get in tonight. Should really ramp things up quite a bit. :)

    Looking for help identifying this

    Looks like a sponge to me as well. My Xenia tank has a lot of them, and my main has half a dozen or so. They come in in multiple places at once looking fuzzy, you may even see some 'blowholes' appearing, then they'll develop a yellow/orange or greenish color. Harmless filter feeders indicating...

    Relevance of flow in SPS tank

    So, after many moons of zoas I'm moving into SPS (montis, acro) in a 105g (4' long, 2' deep). I'm used to a 20x turnover or so in the zoa tanks, and am aware I need a lot more in the SPS tanks (I was thinking of shooting for 60x). Advice I've been given says to go with a sidewall mounted Gyre, a...

    Let’s talk clams

    Those anecdotal reports always make me wonder for their basis, and I feel its more down to husbandry than tank conditions. Example - when I set up the 105g, I did not wait the required year for water conditions to stabilize or for the tank to 'age' before adding nems. I added 3 within 2 months...

    structural engineer/contractor in NJ?

    Knocking down part of the wall is unreasonable. You should think seriously about the repercussions. Against my better judgement, and at great sacrifice to space in my study, I'm willing to take the tank off your hands.

    Free yellow clown goby

    I don't have a solid answer. He did nip at a specific small SPS frag, when it was gone he didn't go after any more. He did seem to nibble and try a few others, but overall had no interest. I thought/think it might be a species thing. I have read that they will occasionally nip at some types of...
