I will not go so far as to say the word hate....but I sure do dislike bears! Some stupid juvi decided to trash 8 nucs and topple 7 hives last night. He even had the balls to start to chew through the roof of my smaller chicken coop. Spent my morning helping VERY TICKED OFF bees before work. With...

So I got the permission to upgrade my tank. With all that I have now my wife had a moment of pity and...well I seized the moment. I was going 90 but Jgraz and others have convinced me to go 120. So I ask for ideas of style and brand. A point to note is this will be my final size unless we move...

With all this scorching humidity and heat bees will hang outside to maintain the hive temp. This is actually called bearding and this hive has about 60,000 individuals. All packed in and the hive overheats so some stay out while others inside fan their wings profusely while suspending a drop of...

My daughter is enrolled at a swim camp at manasquan for the next week and a half.I have 3 1/2 hours to kill in the afternoon....any places to look at coral in the vicinity?

This is a shout out to Paul ( red fish blue fish), aka Mc Guyver without the mullet! So I have a Ro/Di unit with well water. The co2 in the water makes me go through resin faster than most. Well I change it and throw the spent resin in a zip lock bag for the future day ( which will never happen)...

I have been pondering my rock work for or if I upgrade. My idea is simple, I want to get more rock from reefcleaners or macro rock ( dry, lots of holes and no organics). I then want to take this rock to a tile saw and create lots of slices from said rock. These slices I will stack slightly off...

So I'm back yesterday and spent the morning cleaning glass in the 55 gallon. Well I found 3 separate spots on my rock work that have very small ( 3-5 polyp) colonies of a green pocilopora sps growing. They are areas that never had any of the mother colony on it. So how did they set up shop and...

Well I may want a skimmer for my frag tank. Wondering what the thought is for an external hang on back skimmer that would service a 29 high with minimal fish. Recommendations?

Well I have had my old 10 gal nano serving as my frag qt tank. I have been informed that the piece of counter is being taken by eminent domain via my wife. So i need a new location we have at out house a utility section about 4-5 feet tall. It is here that I have begun my relocation and size...

So I finally can post some pictures, I hope. It all began in Feb of 2012. I got the itch to set up a reef tank after seeing how corals were thriving under LED lights in a pet store in Chicago. Well I then raw a Visio from Indonesia pacific reefs on how to set up a nano tank. Here was mine... As...

Well, holidays are over and I said to myself " I am worth it gosh darn it!" So I bought 2 mp10esw pumps. Got the first one today and I have to say, nice flow!! I was having a bit of cyano due to flow issues but not with this guy! My only peeve is the hummmm it makes. Have to see how the...

So I found a Polyclad flatworm in my tank the other night.....bastard is eating my narsis snails. About one per night. I have not seen him at night ( with 2 kids under the age of three I am passed out by 9) sooooooo. I want to know if I can toast it with praziquantel. It's a flatworm so it...

So I am thinking of upgrading to vortec. Currently have a 55 gal mixed reef and may eventually go to a 90 in the next 2 years. So,first I wanted to know if I can be happy with 2 mp10s? Would these still cut it for a 90 or must i upgrade to 40s? Second, I plan on the es series but I also see...

Well, it's nap time for the kids, wind is howling here in hillsborough and I am doing a mental note of what the tree guys need to take this march! I guess that's what you get for having woods for neighbors! Alass I digress. I know I have seen and been warned of the aggressiveness of some...

Have a bunch of ulva in my qt tank. Going to pitch most unless some one wants it. Also have some cheato. Let me know, live in hillsborough.

So I have had a 55 gal going for about 5 months now. Slowly I have ventures toward the sps side! I still maintain some lps such as acans, favia and Duncan's. Things are growing....and the proximity less and the price of real estate thought he roof. Last week I had a Dr Mac Mr green jeans attack...

Looking to increase the refugium from a 20 to a 30 long.

I am unable to read the thread headings. Tried to log out and re log in no change. Not sure if it is just me or is anyone else seeing the same?

I was wondering what the consensus is for the length of time one has lighting on corals. By this I mean what is the length of day and night every one uses. Is it 12 hours, less, more?
