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.
This might be considered overkill, but with a 14g biocube, I would just buy new rock and start over with that. Try and cut off some of the corals, but that is a pretty bad infestation.
A pair of mated clowns in a biocube are going to be jerks, you can look at re homing them and getting some...
The maven seemed like it could be a game changer. I think they put a lot of thought into the design and how easy it should be to use and clean. There are other all in one testing systems out there but they all seem to have problems. This unit I think they looked at those problems and tried to...
Sorry we missed you to Bob, We grabbed fish basically right when we walked in there so we knew we have a time limit from the jump. Also, we had to grab our dog by 430, so it was not going to be a full day. I am sure we will see you soon.
There was really nice torches all over the show room...
We went up today, it was a really good show. More fish than I have seen at a frag event in a while, came home with a bunch. Coral selection was always top notch, definitaly grabbed some SPS and some zoas. Grabbed some rock aquascape pieces and some pods from reef nutrition. Coralvue had the...
Bought one from NY aquatics last week from their live sale. So far so good, but with copperbands you are never sure until you have had them for a long time. We had one for years that was amazing and it got bullied by our clownfish which is no longer in our system.
We have been feeding this coral food for the last several months and have been impressed. Our SPS has never had better polyp extenstion and they growth has been noticeable. I didn't know if anyone else had any experience with it. Here is a very long dive into what it is and at the bottom...
When you pull your sand, watch your alk. Sand has some buffering propoerties to it and when you remove it, it can swing your alk at first. Just test for the first couple of days.
I agree with the above with not putting the tiles in. I also think they can trap a lot of gunk, which again is...
During low tides, corals and rock in nature are out of the water for extended periods of time you are good.
Yes wear eye protection and gloves, zoanthid toxin can blind you.
Butterflys are a little different from angels. There are certain butterflies that eat coral which is why you see some labeled as fish only. Butterflies can pick and SPS polyps. So they might not kill your corals but you won't relaly have polyp extension during the day. As Mark said above...
I don't remember what strain of dinos we had but as horseplay said, full blackout for like a week and dosing the Dr. Tims regimen. Algae - Cyano - Dinos | DrTim's Aquatics
