That sounds like a nightmare, Bax!

The canopy is acrylic, the finish on the acrylic matches the stand almost perfectly. Ethan did a fantastic job, it looks even nicer in person.

I used to dose strontium and iodine as well. 9 cups of salt for 15g seems like a lot.

We had a great time. We wished we had time to do a 2d dive. Seeing the colony of petersons cleaner shrimp was my favorite thing, bu I was suprised at how much acropora we actually saw- towards the end of our dive, we went by a large field of it. Seeing Christmas tree worms the size of my hand...

Thanks guys. Keep in mind that we took none of those photos- the diver master took every one of them. We did however have a fantastic time. My favorites were the colony of peterson's anem shrimp and the cowries.

It looks like a nuisance anem or hydroid to me. Can you drain the area? It is not standard practice for removal, but I have had good luck with a scraper followed by a cotton ball soaked in vinegar. If you do try this, make sure you wear gloves!

That is entirely up to you, and what you like. With the MP10, and that light, Zoas and acans should do fine on the bottom, LPS like chalices in the lower light areas (partial shadow worked best for us), and SPS should do well just about anywhere. The only thing you really need to be careful...

Very nice, Steve! I like the new aquascape, and the frag racks (and coral) look great as well!

Multicolor angel. We bought a gorgeous one in 2010, and he ate hundreds of dollars of SPS in less than a week. He went back to the pet store.

When you say the rock is old, how old exactly? Did you buy new LR and cure it, or did you buy LR that someone else had in their tank previously? If you bought "used" live rock, did you cure it again?

That is quite a bit of water changes for a 30g tank. Relax. 3-6g per week is plenty. There is nothing wrong with allowing the tank to cyle.

We have a redheaded goby that lives in our overflow in the 80g frag tank. He got in there in December (we were on vacation), and seems to be fine in there. I can't get him out easily, so I consider it his new home.

I used instant ocean for years with success. We currently use Aqua Vitro.

I had a Slippery Monkey in my hand, actually ;)

We have a small purple tang in our 80g frag tank. Is it a great idea? Probably not. Is it doable for a time? Probably.

I would probably play it safe and avoid adding another fish, unless you have a very secure backup power plan- during the storm, a lot of people with overstocked tanks that were otherwise healthy had oxygenation issues, and some of them lost fish. Just my 2 cents.

Kevin, your tank is still relatively young. Hair Algae and Cyano are still pretty common at this stage in a tank's life. To combat the hair algae: remove the rocks, one by one, and pull it out. Literally. It takes a while, I know, but that is how we beat it. To address the cyano issue...

We clean power heads every 2-3 months, depending on how yucky they are getting. We do a vinegar and water bath for at least 1 hour, and then take apart and scrub with a toothbrush. To remove coraline, we have used MagiClean, but it did soften the plastic of the powerheads we cleaned so I would...

AEF are tough to get rid of. For me, the easiest way to see the worms is to take the coral out of the water, and hold it under your lights for a minute or so. That makes the worm move, and if you look really closely, you can see it moving. To really determine if you have them, remove the...

It was very nice meeting you Brian.
