Made my first trip to R2R today and left very impressed and w/ a few goodies ;D. Like others said it is still a work in progress, but shows great potential. There were 3 large frag tanks with great prices on good looking stock, including a fair amount of beautiful acans frags (2-7 heads) varying...

Great-thanks for the help. I am in Middletown so AO isn't too far and I've been needing to make my first trip there, I've only heard good things.

Can Selcon be bought locally or do I have to order it offline?

Thanks for the tip with the garlic. I will definitely add it to their feedings. I think I will try a homemade recipe for their food, anything else that helps that I should add?

Nevermind the 3 spots are gone this morning. Maybe just loose scales from flashing against the rocks? Should I still be concerned about the flashing behavior though?

Hey everyone I need some opinions about recent livestock purchase-I bought a blue hippo that appeared clean and healthy, but after the first day is flashing against the rocks and appears to have some small white spots developing. I am still within the 48 hour window of guarantee from the LFS...

Yes you can use egg rate in the same manner for reef tanks. I just used it on my 75g as I made the switch from acrylic to glass. This is what I did for my tank transfer: after putting the egg crate in the tank, I used a small amount of sand to fill the holes and hide the egg crate from view...

Okay I got a good macro shot of the hitchhiker. I can't put it up at the moment but I will try to later tonight. It appears to be a brittle star, when I zoomed in on the picture I could easily see its hairy arms. The arms are also banded red and white, similar to a CBS. I started w/ 5 ceriths...

I think I may have a serpent star that came as a hitchhiker. I have never seen him fully, but I have noticed an arm or two protruding from a crevice. He seemed small (only inch or so arms) but he was definitely big enough to wrap up a medium sized snail. So he's my new suspect, and he seems more...

Yeah thanks, unfortunately I am familiar with this as I have lost one like this before-but two were pinned between the rocks and glass and seemed like the just died in place

I woke up this morning to find 6 fatalities in my tank. Thankfully they were only snails ;D but it seems odd to me that all of them would die overnight. My cerith population appear unaffected and all other livestock open fully or acting normally. My current suspect are the hermits (5), but they...

+1 to youtube. I just made my first frags last week w/ zoos and checked out youtube first. The videos there aren't great in terms of video quality, but it gives you a great idea of how to handle them and how gentle to be while cutting them. I used the same technique as Edward771, used a clean...

Those are some sweet zoos-I hope yours don't melt...they would make great frags when the colony grows out

Yeah I just checked my receipt, no 10% extra. Oh well still worth it.

Yeah more like 20% (Sale) + 10% (NJRC) = Regular Price ;D
