It has been a good week in the Andrieu household. We had some fun and bought a group of Cooperi Anthias, 3 females and one male. I'm really excited about them. They are reddish-pink, and the big guy is starting to develop a blue stripe, and the three girls are fat and active. Even better...

Hi Paul! Welcome back! Since I can see the RC photos (in which the models look stunning I might add), just thought I would say Happy Birthday Tank, looks great as always :)

Congrats Jing! That is one cute little assessor. Good work with the acclimation box. The hula's are ORA's first release, as Mike said they are a cold water fish. ORA says they can tolerate up to 78 degrees, but we will have to wait and see. I do love the barnacle blennies, we they are...

Hi Jason, If the rock and sand are reused from an existing system where it was for several years, I would be cautious. You assumption that the rock has bacteria in it is likely correct, but that that might not be all that is in it. Reusing live rock has created some serious issues with...

Hi Jason, Welcome to the nano world! We have a 12g JBJ, and I love the size of the 14g biocube. I have a question. What did you test for? Are you using a hydrometer or a refratometer? If your SG is low, other tests will be less accurate, so keep that in mind. I saw that you used...

Good answer! I really like the footprint of the 160xl, and I think you will feel the same way with the 120xl footprint. I have been very satisfied with our ELOS aquarium.

Smart.

Hi Jing, Congrats on the basslet! You may be able to buy an acclimation box from Aquarium Care Center, I was able to buy this one from them several months ago. You may want to call and ask. If you can't, you can also consider buying a hermit crab cage from PetCo and using it as a temporary...

Tank is looking great, congrats! Looking forward to seeing the new inhabitant!

I didn't have that kind of luck. We had a large hawaiian harley for a long time, and he ate 2-3 chocolate chip stars a month at adult size of about 2".

I have fully cycled live rock you can have, about 8 pounds of it. Send me a PM and we will figure out a way for you to get it. I can also give you some live sand to seed. I ran a 20g with an aqua-c remora, much overrated for a 10 g, but a good skimmer if you can find one. I also ran a CPR...

They should be fine. Harlequins result in high pollution, so do keep that in mind. They will need to be fed live starfish, which may draw competition for the dying stars from the other shrimp.

The hulas are really neat. So far, they are swimming together, feeding actively, and growing. The test will be the summer. ORA says they do not do well over 78 degrees, and in the summer our DT runs about 77. I may bump the heater down and see if that makes a difference, but I keep the...

That is fantastic news. My Aunt kept a 12g biocube in her classroom with saltwater fish for several years. We kept it simple with a pair of clowns, firefish, serpent star, shrimp & hermits. Her school was not air conditioned, and heat was not always "on", so we steered away from corals due to...

The cat's water fountain is louder than the tank.

We have an extra LED if you need to borrow a light. . .

Could also be red bubble algae.

Thank you! The Earles are one of our favorites.

Thanks guys :) We did a lot of reshuffling over the past week, coral pics soon!

2013 taught me several things. To boil them down into resolutions: 1. I need to be less lazy so that I can have fewer alk swings. 2. When I'm not happy with the tank, I need to go ahead and stick my hands in it and fix it. 3. Pay attention, stupid. If the coral looks unhappy, there is...
