Gorgeous as always, Darren, love the red rim!

The tank looks fantastic, Bax! Seeing your recovered Acros gives me hope in my flatworm battle.

Thank you! (I tuned in)

Congratulations!!

+1 on the treatment suggestion.

Just a small suggestion, if you do take the bleach route, make sure you fully dechlorinate.

I still buy a lot of clean up crew from Trop, they are buy one get on 50% off.

You can buy cured rock from some of the sponsors. You may want to consider this. I would not add dead rock in 10 lb incriments. IMHO, that is asking for a tank crash. You could get lucky, but I doubt it. Also keep in mind that most dead rock smells pretty yucky when you cure it again (the dead...

We have never had a problem with the stand for our 12g JBJ, and that is with diablo, our 13 lb cat, jumping on it several times per day.

Maintaining a reef tank without water changes would in my honest opinion be pretty difficult, long term. In addition to the pollution and trace elements that Mike and Sunny spoke of, we also have to worry about what exactly is swimming around in our tanks, what gets absorbed by our rock and...

Is the floor moving, or is the stand moving? Is the stand level? Has the floor shifted over time? Any time I see a stand moving, or a tank moving I get very worried.

Very nice! The stand might not be finished and the skimmer might not be hooked up, but the tank looks great and the corals look happy!

We lost our mandarin over the summer, so I shut the culture down.

Dont feed the tank for a day, and then feed in one small spot in the front of the tank. The crabs should work their way over pretty quickly.

congratulations!!!

So, one step at a time. First, the SG is a bit high. .026 is about right for a reef tank. Are you using a refractometer or a hydrometer? When was the last time you calibrated it and how did you calibrate it? The reason I ask is because over time, they start to give false readings unless...

Per your request, I have edited the title of your thread. The tank is looking really nice! Your wife has good taste with her coco worms, barnacle blennies, and christmas tree rock ;) With the christmas tree worms, even more than the coco worms, you may want to dose live phyto. They seem to...

First of all, the FTS looks nice. I know you are battling HA, but for a young tank, hair algae is normal. As strange as it sounds, you are not the first person to lose coral to low salinity - Mike and me lost a whole bunch of coral last year because I calibrated our refractometer...

I just did an aquascape for our new tank. We bought tonga branch rock, dried it, and cycled it. It was mostly single large branches, with two big "base" pieces with branches that I was able to use to create the structure. I used marineland epoxy to create arches, and caves from the different...

Thanks, Rob! We got the 12g set up again, using new live sand and live rock from the big tank (most recently, previously from the 12g). I was lucky enough to catch the PomPom crab, so he, the Candy Basslet, the Magnificent Goby, our ORA cleaner goby and a few hermits and snails are back in the...
