"If you have $ for a new tank then you should have $ to add a new bathroom" Wife

You can get away with the SPS in the 24g tank, just put them up really high and don't keep them in there for too long. Just dip observe and re dip. What some people are doing is the immediately cut the frag off the disk or whatever it is on beacuse the eggs are typically laid on the undersid of the frag or frag plug. Then they dip and remount which will help you cut down on your pests as you are theortically removing the eggs and killing the adults.
For the most part don't you run the same risks with softies or LPS?

Not really, off the top of my head I really don't know to many pests that outright attack softies and LPS (the excpetions being zoas). I am not saying that fish or inverts will go after them, but actual pests that just exist to eat them. Between red bugs, acro eating flatworms, and monti eating nudis. Also all of these are a giant PITA to get rid of. Zoa pests like nudis and snails can be killed pretty quickly in one dip, the SPS specific ones take a lot of dips and diligence to get rid of.
 
Hey... I know that Shoprite. I think I know your dirty little secret.

Pets Plus Delran! It was meant to be. The Shoprite in Cinnaminson didn't have what we needed I had to go to the Delran one. Since I "accidentally" missed the first turn off oh rt 130 I had to turn into the Lowes lot to go back. That's my story and I am sticking to it!
 
Wow Matt nice looking tank you got there really like the rock work.

Thanks to you it has some nice color to it! The one birds nest I got from you has some growth starting. I keep meaning to add pictures but have been super busy. I am glad I went the BRS Pukani. I was able to do all kinds of cool stuff with it and you would never know I did it. That hole in the rock on the left I used a wood chisel and made a nice arch way that starts at the front of the rock and then breaks into 2 different tunnels.

Hey Matt, I was in the garage last night after work and I saw the screen netting and instantly realized that I forgot to give you some for the pod condos last weekend. Next time you're in the neighborhood or heading to Aquarium Center, give me a ring and you can have some.

Hope the frags and chaeto are doing well.

No worries George. I thought the same thing when I got home I was taking the rock out of the sump and remembered. I will let you know the next time I am down your way. Thanks again for everything!!!
 
Agreed. I love that my 4yr old knows the names of more corals that the wife does. :D

My wife knows nothing about the tank. "Look at the pretty yellow one" is about as much as she knows. And that the tank is directly across from the bathroom I added so if you leave the door open you get a nice view.
 
So I came home from work on Monday to find this little guy found a new home. My wife said that she had been watching him all day. I asked her why the heck she didn't call me so I cod take the rest of the day off of work to watch. She obviously just doesn't get it!!! I got the nem probably 6 months ago and the clown is about 4 months old. It is a GSM but his stripes have not gone gols yet.

I have tons of other pictures but my time has been very busy lately. We are expecting a new addition to the family any day now. So with my ever growing family between sports and school and working 2 jobs it's hard to find the time.
 
I laughed out loud to a couple of your posts. The text message water one and the taking off work for the clown hosting :highly_amused: Great thread man! The tank is coming along nicely :applause:
