I finally found a couple of ACCURATE LOOKING fish Xmas ornaments I'd like to share! Anyone else have cool fish or corals on the tree? Let's see! (No fair fishing out the poor Christmas Favia or Christmas Wrasse and sticking an ornament hook through it...) You can tell who these guys are...

A very Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!

I got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it.

Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing) That (inhales sharply). Speaking as someone who's had a few setbacks in the reef department, I say to you... Adapt, adopt, improve. And POR (press on regardless...)

Remember Old Dutch Cleanser? "Hasn't Jumped Yet!" Where'd you get the netting?

Jimroth's Big Ol' Question I have been having a hell of a time with the little ball valve on my MRC CR1 calcium reactor getting clogged. It clogs, the reactor fills up with CO2, and the pump runs dry. Am I doing something wronng? I open up the valve and let out the CO2, then readjust the drip...

My whole reef is a kind of science experiment, so here's an important data point. The outside temperature has been hitting the single digits. The garage (where my sump is) is hitting lows of 48-49F, and the tank is maintaining 77.9F. So it works. There's weirdness though...my skimmer is...

Kind of depends on species. I am currently running my system with no screen, and I have a yellow coris, apparently a non-jumper. I really want a Solarensis fairy wrasse, but I won't add one until I have some sort of netting over the tank. My last one ended up high and dry.

Okay, here's a a suggestion that might help. Do you have a cover on your sump? Obviously they don't need light, so you could cut some of the water surface area exposed. I have my sump in the garage, so I cut a cover out of acrylic that has holes for all the drains and returns. I don't want...

Wow Wendy, really nice! Did you give the guy a picture to work from? I can't wait to see it colored in. Very ornamental! Gotta love those hummingbirds.

I thought I only had pink, purple and a very nice dark red, but recently green coraline has been popping up all over. It just looks like algae, I would rather not have it. Never seen it before.

I did a 45G water change, first since August and coral colors improved noticably, although it didn't "fix the problem." I can see white in the ORA Pearlberry again. I guess I should test for nitrates? I'm setting up for another 45G water change in between Chirstmas and New Years. Also seeing...

I heard the "XPR" ones kinda stink, so I bought the regular corded variable speed one. There are some things that you can do with a dremel that I would have a hard time doing with other tools, at least doing as well. The cutoff wheels are very helpful. I will probably buy a cordless model for...

Your puffer has got my vote. I hope he's for change, because we need change.

Time for a utility fish. Starting to get aiptasia, and I loves the copperband butterlies! I'm already dumping mysis into the tank for the anthias, so why not. I would like to get a BIG one, like the ones out of Autralia and Vietnam, (A) Because I think they're hardier, and (B) because they won't...

Re: Here's my 120 Darn Bax, like they say...It never rains but it pours! Sounds like you've got it under control, but I always think, "What if I had been on vacation???" That deal with the salinity getting out of whack scares me. I hear the available conductivity meters are fairly crappy, but...

Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank Photos II My raffle prize purple plana. My feeling is I can fix the color, but it they die or don't grow, I can't fix that. Pink Stylopora, encrusted on base. When I came back from California, the skimmer had stopped working for a couple days, and this was kind of...

Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank Photos II This brownish-purple thing is actually Cali Tort, it's encrusting very well on its base, noticible growth: A new addition, Oregon Tort, doing fine but still waiting for growth... Theoretically pink-and-purple millie, more growth and a good base. Pohnape...

Jimroth's Big Ol' Tank Photos Added some new fish, plus a some coral growth photos! The Fish Store had a big quantity of square anthias, big and fat, so I bought a couple. I went back for more females, only little ones were left! Later I picked up a "Yellow Coris" wrasse at Ab Fish, since I...

I made a supporting rack out of black PVC, and it's (mostly) hidden by the rocks and gravel.
