    LIve Aquaria sale

    FYI. Lots of discounts of 20%+ with free shipping (Tanks, lights, chems, etc) Use code SAVING25 for an additional 25% off. I usually don't post stuff like this but I just got some fantastic deals and saved about 40-50% overall...

    Let's see your high end zoas

    Ha! Yep, the incinerators are the frag from you. I know the pink zips and the Eagles, did not know the gobstoppers. Cheers :) Also have an infestation of Sunny D's and Utter Chaos that seem to want to take the tank over. May actually have to learn to frag at some point.

    Let's see your high end zoas

    Sponge, That was a bit of fun sarcasm aimed at another member who sells zoas. Zoas (zoanthids) are a 'soft' coral that don't require adding additional chemicals to your tank and like the water a bit 'dirty'. Zoas can go from quite cheap ($1-2 per head) to quite expensive ($100 per head)...

    The SHELLY tank

    Saw Mark's tank a couple of weeks back. The effort he put into it is tremendous and it shows.

    Need advice ASAP on biocube + skimmer

    OK, hope this helps. Typing some general stuff here to cover bases, no insults intended. I'm assuming you haven't run a closed nano system previously. I run a load of nanos, though at the moment I only have 4 (40g, 40g, 10g, 7g). The media rack (or basket) goes in the first chamber that the...

    New to this

    Welcome aboard! First, love the stand, if you put a bar and a TV in there you're set. Also love the set up, I'm surprised you're a first timer with the hobby as you're setting up a fantastic system. Secondly... If you want to get trashed you're in the wrong place. You'll not see aggravation...

    Discuss - morals v law for aquarists

    The pet release thing I understand. Many years ago I raised ferrets and it required a special exotic animal license at the time for the same reason, they didn't want ferrets running amok mating with or killing local wildlife. It almost seemed a mute point. My ferrets were not tagged or tracked...

    What's Wrong with this Offer?

    Got to disagree with the Petco statement, at least here in Brick. Think its a store by store assessment. We've got a guy at the Petco here, Andrew, who is top notch. He runs quite a few tanks of his own (including seahorses), keeps their saltwater department stocked, super clean, and very well...

    February 2019 Meeting

    If anyone has any zoa frags they'd like to sell or trade let me know. I've got some good sized frags of red acro, can clip some superman monti, or offer a zoa trade of a purple body orange skirt frag(s). Edit: And will be bringing at least 1/2 dozen bags of cheato loaded with pods for the taking.

    Discuss - morals v law for aquarists

    Recently there was an internet post that a pair of axotols had a few dozen young. These young were offered for adoption but the post was removed from the forums, and rightly so, as owning the animal is illegal in the state the ad was posted in, as well as in many other states. But here’s the...

    Blackout idea

    Mmmm, tank was totally black for 84 hours. Still got the algae in the same 2 places. It's less but still present. Chemipure, manual clean, and 20% wc tomorrow.

    Why this hobby drives me $#@*&! crazy

    Good thoughts, thanks. The lighting is matched best visually, nmo par on hand but tried to account for depth (submerged mirrors and other half baked science ideas attempted). When I dropped the frags in the 40g I went with an acclimatization placement which did no good. Per carbon, the bag in...

    Lax on water changes. Noticed a few good sized areas of hair algae taking hold.

    Piece of cardboard over the top. Just left it off so folks could see how the sheet was on.
