No pic yet, paid for Saturday arrival. Will run a thread on it from unboxing to all details of tank conditions and diet. Excited to see an aqua-cultured offered.

Had a pistol shrimp and watchman combo in my big tanks. They were fantastic, was incredible watching the interactions. What wasn't great was the fact that they'd dig the Marinaras Trench in my tank every night while we could hear the shrimp announcing the construction by snapping (from the...

Have the matches in the tank.

Noooo, not the Precious, nooo nasty little hobbitses try to take it But, instead, one of these... Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Blue Mandarin, Captive-Bred, Biota Wanted one since I stated the hobby but would never subject one to my tanks for fear of starving them. The...

Sunny, I have an hour appt at 10am and am expecting a fish shipment at some point. When all is clear I'll drop you a text and if you need me I'll be there. Mark

Sorry, haven't seen this. Just a standard sprayer and tap water. I have to start breaking some down, I'm feeding 30-50 worms a day and I cant control the population, now more worms than dirt. Critical mass atm. Will start dumping these in the garden if folks aren't interested in picking any up...

All they can eat fish party at Haus's house! Bring your fish! Perhaps we can dump a cake in the tank for them after? IMHO its dead fish stuff. In the wild most fish are scavengers. I'd refreeze it, but in better portion sizes for my tank, and use it. I've left thawed stuff on the counter...

So, I had a saddle puffer that was planned for transfer to a bigger tank but it didn't work out. And he was getting irritable in the small tank. So, this morning I managed to catch him and packed him up. Was going to offer to NJRC for adoption, but I was going to be out most of the day and...

Tough to tell from shots, as mnat said. May just be a diatom outbreak, can appear rusty orange/brown.

Working on this now. The BOD is having a meeting Friday to discuss a number of items. A big topic includes monthly group orders, member frag swaps, and frag raffle orders from multiple sponsors all tied into the monthly meets, as well as mini events organized by the community (everything from...

First Reef! GRATZ! Slllloooooowwwwwww. Focus on and start with the cycle, treat it as an adventure in itself! You can spend the time looking at the rockwork and re-arranging it, always keeping it far enough away from the glass to pass a cleaner over the glass. Cycle till cycle is done (worst...

System looks great and good luck with the grow outs. I keep trying to grow stuff out then get lazy and throw frags into the rocks. For example, had Rastas and Utter Chaos on racks, figured I grow a few and sell them to buy other corals (or trade). Got bored with worrying about them, thew them in...

You'll find that here. Get to the monthly meets if you can, we throw coral about (and beer and food and equipment). And post if you need anything, you'll be surprised at the support and offers :).

You amaze me, my friend. Despite your negativity, knew you were getting back into it someday. Didn't think it would be this quick, but I'm not really surprised (though I had no bloody clue you'd be opening your own aquarium this time around). Seriously happy to see this going down, the few...

PA, Thanks guys. Looking forward to growing this club tremendously and your support is truly appreciated. Tranq, Welcome aboard :)

If theres still some SPS I’d love to get in.

The Finnex with the FugeRay grows cheato like mad (and algae if you drop a piece of roughed up plastic, like the needlepoint plastic for hobbies, in there). Tried to build an up-scrubber, a cheato reactor, etc... After $100+ of the, 'I can do better', I admitted defeat and ordered another...

My previous established sump/fuges did wonders, but took months to kick in. When I picked the HOB up from you a few months ago I've had 2 major diatom outbreaks, one so bad I had to treat with Chempure, yet I added nothing to the fuge outside of established rock from the tank, some cheato from...

TT, Settings are way too low atm. You want to make sure that your total W(watts) is around, at least, 120-140w for softies (zoas, leathers, palys). If you add SPS or such, you're going to want to eventually increase it to 200w+. I've got one HD26 mounted 12" above waterline on a softie (zoa)...

No worries. Great tank, great deal. I have a few softies for both you and John when you get the tanks set up. Drop me a line and let me know.
