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.
OK, so, I decided to hold off on the rockwall pieces as I made a serious design error, which is OK, as I've learned.
Engineering = learning from failures.
BUT! The tank is still go and is still holding up well.
As detailed in another post I was having trouble keeping xenia alive in the new...
I got some space in a 40b atm, he can pair up with a new small saddle clown I picked up a few days back.
If no takers by this weekend I can take a ride up Sat morning.
Will bring an acan or acro frag (how bout both?) as compensation.
Well, moved the xenia colony to a 40b and their previous home is up for sale.

I've ordered a few times from Aquarium depot. Regardless of experiences with corals and such from there (not good) their pods always amaze me for the amount and variation in size. I've ordered 3 times in past few years and have literally had them jumping onto the kitchen counter when I've opened...
I'd grab it in a minute but its a matter of logistics as I'm 90 minutes away with nothing capable of transporting it.
I seriously can not believe that someone hasn't snagged this.
Nope, just drop them into your sump. I've got some been in sump for years and they look fine. They have a massive surface area for bacteria and a single block can act as a considerable amount of live rock. I break mine up a bit before dropping them in and they're always covered with pods.
Anyone have a skimmer laying about?
Looking for something reputable for 100g tank, would prefer something that can handle 150-200g+ for a bit of overkill.
Willing to trade EVERYTHING on my desk...

If you can see a few during the day wait until night and hit a rock with a flashlight. Then just stare for a bit.
When you focus in you'll probably find you have tons all over the place, assuming theres not a mandarin or wrasse in the tank.
I use Marinepure blocks broken up in my sumps. They act...
You want the return pump and enough space that you can get your hand in there and adjust it, or wiggle it about, without hitting a partition.
You also want to be able to mess with the ato if needed.
A simple adjustment or having to get your fingers under the return to pry a suction cup loose or...
Ha! Timing is everything.
I woke yesterday to find my 3yo phantom clown went carpet surfing through the night (sad face).
Wanted to get a new clown in sooner than later, largest I could find (my remaining female is 3-4").
Picked up, and just released, a snowflake in there, post acclimation, an...
So, not going to go into detail regarding the complexity of the construction, nor give a listing of the vast amount of supplies required to create such a trap.
I will, however post the results as a teaser for future sales.
In an attempt to catch 2 shrimp, with a small slice of fish placed...
What are you using in the hang on filter?
I'd advise staying away from any premade filter pads, they're not marnine take optimal.
I'd buy some carbon, a small media bag or two, and some filter floss. Drop a couple tablespoons of carbon into the bag, drop the bag in the filter, and fill the...

A few months back at the Jackson meet I had $20 in my pocket that I was planning to donate to the club via raffle tickets.
I didn’t really need or want...
Meant that as a cleanup crew I had snails to cover most concerns (approx 40-50)
There's 1 emerald crab in there and 3 peppermints, the emerald has been in the tank 2 years.
The snail deaths (including at least 1 of the 2 bumblebees) began just after the introduced peppermints finished all the...
Running Red Sea Coral Pro since I started, then recently bought a big container of Reef Crystals as it was considerably cheaper while on sale.
With 2 10% water changes using the Reef crystals I had increased growth, but parameters shifted a bit. As mnat pointed out the alkalinity shift with the...
