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.
A friend of mine is getting out of the hobby so is putting his remaining livestock for sale. They’ve been together for years so ideally he’d like them all to stay together. His tank was in great condition, all these are healthy and active. I wish I could take them myself but I have each of...
Does anyone have experience setting up a 125 peninsula-style? Can I drill the shorter side so plumbing comes out by the wall, or is that ill-advised? Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations, experiences or warnings to share, etc?
Drilling and overflow setup are my last hurdle to...
Hi all, we just concluded our first virtual meet. For those who attended, please give feedback here. It would be great to have these on a regular basis and have a crew of people to rotate as moderators since a host has to be present to start the meeting. Please post your thoughts, feedback...

Folks,
We’re ready to kick off our first virtual meeting. By vote this will be held this coming Sunday June 21 at 7 pm. Please rsvp, and to maximize the number of people who join, I’m throwing out there if people want to push it back a week due to Father’s Day. Two votes are allowed, so you...
Hi all, it seems a lot of folks will be interested in a virtual meeting; that‘s great!
Final poll—vote on the day/times you WOULD attend (vote for multiple if you’re available) and we’ll go with the one that has the most votes. Evening was heavily favored previously so I’m throwing out...
Hi all, here is a poll for the possibility of having a virtual club meeting. An idea thrown out there was that we can pick a reefing topic and discuss how we each approach it, and with the virtual format we can show how that's set up on our end if we choose to. Informal fun way of getting...
I got one of those glass suction cup cups for an anemone, and I found today the RBTA I have in there had escaped and moved on the glass across the tank. I put it back and plan to lower the cup to the level I found it at, guessing that’s the light level it’s seeking. I had one rock in the...
Wondering why, when asked their location, the norm is for people to respond with their zip code rather than town name. Is there a reason I’m missing? Does anyone find zip codes more convenient than a town name?
I have 2 tan toadstool leather offshoots for trade; the pictured one has grown to about 2 inches, and the second one just dropped off last night (I put it on a frag plug this morning but not open yet for picture). Mesmerizing coral to watch and it grows fast, one of my family’s favorites for...
I’m taking it slow and easy with setting up a 125 that I was given by @Paulie069 (aka the man) and finally honing in on what to do. It seems drilling is far more recommended than an over-the-top overflow so I’m getting myself ready to drill so next comes planning the overflow, plumbing, and...
Thanks to the generosity of Paulie, I added a fantastic looking and healthy falco
Hawkfish this morning!
Pics are within minutes of introduction. Shortly after it was up in the rock checking out the scape. Lights go on in a few hours and it’s already met the other fish. Nice to add some new...
New Orleans jazZ fest is my favorite music festival I’ve been to, and I’m lucky enough to have done it many times. This year WWOZ has been broadcasting sets from past fests and it has been awesome-from my kids to my in-laws, everyone in my house has been enjoying it and reminding me to put it...
I had a beautiful torch coral that was one of the centerpieces of my system die this week...very sudden and nasty. Tested and found my alk had crept up to 16-could this have caused it?
Immediately lowered the timer on the doser and did a 15-20% water change. I’ll have to keep testing to hone...
So I moved my Superman rhodactis and within a day I see these turquoise bubbles popping up on them. I hope the pictures show it well enough. Pic with the royal gramma is weeks before the move (before it split) for comparison.
Was lucky enough to score a 125 yesterday thanks to R2R member Executioner069, and thanks to Diana a for cross-posting here. I’ll be moving my reef up from the basement underworld to the living room. Picture of tank and stand is below.
My 65 mixed reef is all hang-on equipment and doing...
Maintaining the tank today and with the lights out I noticed a layering pink encrusting algae/coral in the center of a patch of PPEs. Never stood out before because it just looked like a patch of coralline but in the dark it’s color is flesh red and it looks like it’s layering (like a...
I’ve been in touch with Bonfire, an online shirt provider, who can use our design to create shirts for purchase. They cannot personalize. They can offer several shirt options of our choice (is short sleeve, long sleeve, sweatshirt, hoodies, etc). Whoever wants to buy would link to their...
