if you don't have a skimmer, are you running a filter sock, floss of filter pad? in my experience, you want something to help remove the resulting flocculated detritus.

and some sights a few steps away from the aquarium.

of course, i had to take some pics of the lighting on my favorite display, the large sps patch reef, which of course was ginormous metal halides pendants. also, apologies to the softie lovers, i didn't tank any pics of the softies only tanks, but most displays were mixed to one degree or...

can anyone id the middle mint green coral? i'm thinking hydnophora but i've never kept it.

mrs. ole farney is from france, and all of her family remain there, so we try to visit once a year. this year we hit the public aquarium in la rochelle, so i thought i'd share some pics. it somewhere on the small to medium size, if you consider the camden aquarium or national aquarium in...

i i think someone told me, possibly Rueric, that wrasse will eat nudis :black_eyed:

great, thank you!

you could put me down for 3 please eric, unless anyone thinks a lawnmower blenny would make a snack out of them. timing is going to be important for me though, i'm leaving on 7/17 for a few weeks, so i'm in the before or after window for pick up.

anyone ever done this? just found i've been doing it, unintentionally. i put some really nice mature rock in a brute can with circulation about a year ago and added some clean dry and some previously used but dried out rock over the course of the last year. through a reactor with carbon and gfo...

would love to make it, its a hike for me so don't want to weight the vote for something i'm probably a 50% shot at making at best. august would probably be best for me though, i'm away the second half of july. feels like the club is building some momentum, which is awesome.

what a great space and a kick ass microscope too. its a hike, but would love to attend if i can make it.

i've had goni bleach before and recover. moved it to low light and low flow area and it took about 2 to 3 months to rebound. i've also had one goni frag bleach that did not recover with the same approach. i've also dealt with flatworms before and agree with six-line or melanurus wrasse. i've...

awesome deal on great frags, if i had more room and wasn't going away in july, i'd grab some more of these from you.

pieces of the ocean has a couple frags on sale right now.

not a common coral that i've seen. would your recognize the name if you heard it? poked a round a bit and found a couple species of Lobophyllia that look similar, but not as flat. Parascolymia vitiensis is similar and flat, but often solitary polyps. whatever it is, looks cool though.
