One of my success stories during my 7 month long hair algae battle. I was able to pair up my Yasha gobies. If anyone is interested in doing the same, the male has a dark spot on his pelvic fin.

Here are before and after shots of my 7 month battle with hair algae and red cyano. March 1. This was probably the worst of it: June 25: How I did it- I started to run GFO, pulled as much as I could daily until my fingers were pruney and weekly 10% water changes.

Here is my 2nd minibow. I entered this in a buildoff on another website for 2 reasons (1) To keep me focused on the build of the tank and (2) It will force me to post updates since you have to post at least once a month. Posting is not one of my strong points :P I plan on making this a low...

Wasn't sure where to post this. I just wanted to say what a great reefer roadking05 is. Besides holding an item for me that I said I'd pick up Tuesday but didn't pick up until today, he hooked me up quite nicely with more frags than I was expecting to buy. I wouldn't think twice about buying...

Got lucky and snagged this shot this afternoon.

I made reference to this show in a previous post, but did anyone besides me ever watch the show Guppies For Groupers on PBS back in the 70's? I was kinda young I'm guessing about 12 yrs. so I don't really remember much about it- except that it somehow was able to hold my attention for a half...

Here is the next project waiting in the wings- a 90 gallon reef ready Oceanic . This is my first reef ready tank so I am quite excited. We are going to condense the 46 gallon and 16 gallon tanks into the 90. It doesn't have the "status" in my head of a 120 gallon like we had wanted, but the only...

Here's my newest addition to the 16 gallon bowfront. After the first night of being able to find him no matter where he was , the next 6 days were very frustrating. With no trace of him I eventually wrote him off as being a victim of carpet surfing. I searched all over the carpet for evidence...

Besides spending all my money on reefing I also enjoy punishing myself with 100 mile bicycle rides. For those of you who live in northwestern NJ, are you familiar with either of these roads and how they heck do you drive on them during winter storms?? I live in Ocean County and I am hard pressed...

Why is it you always seem to have the answer until it happens to you? I recently bought a pygmy angel and put him in a tank with a Royal Gramma (amongst others). Up until now, the Royal Gramma, whom appeared long in the tooth based on his appearance hasn't bothered any of his other tankmates. I...

I bought this from someone on reefecentral. Since I'm not familiar with Nilsen Reactors I'm not sure if this is complete or is missing parts. I don't see a "stirrer" referred to in the directions. I was expecting to see a rotating bar of some sort but I don't see one. I'm kinda stressing that I...

For some reason I've never seen this algae(?) before- not in any of my tanks or any message boards. Should I be happy that it is growing on the very bottom of my reef or is it the type of algae that reduces grown reefers to tears? Thanks! Eric

I never imagined I would be reading saltwater forums ever again after I sold everything off a couple of years ago. I was looking forward to actually having a savings account. Back in March I was having back pain and wound up going to physical therapy for the first time in my life. It was kind of...

Hi, besides the 7 gallon mini bow we also have our main tank- a 46 gallon bowfront. I'll go more into detail about how I got back into this hobby in the general discussion forum. Teaser: it involved many trips to a physical therapists office for back pain. Back to the tank. It is a 46 gallon...

Hopefully this works-I've never posted a photo on a forum before. Here is a full tank shot of my 7 gallon minibow that was set up in early June. This used to be the minibow sitting on the counter at Aqua Oceans for oh so many years. Eric
