How long should it take to attach? What do you use, a Tupperware with holes in it?

One of my favorite riccordia mushroom frags decided to let go of its mount and is now moving around the tank to wherever the current or hermits want to take it. What is the best way to remount it without killing it?. Can I superglue it to a rock?

Still looking. Thanks

Today was a good day. I sat on my glasses so had to go get them fixed. Happens that the optician is only a few doors down from the Elos store in Millburn. I have to say that I am warming up to the store. Once you get the guys chatting, they are very friendly and helpful and if you spend...

Hi. Need a friend for my clowns. Looking for a small rose or rainbow bubble tip anemone. Near 07040. Thanks Steven

Newbie questions: what is GFO?

So it was a very busy weekend for my little slice of the ocean. I could not contain the excitement from the first frags on Saturday, so on Sunday I visited a new friend, Jose, in Newark (search frags and Newark on craigslist). His location is a bit rough – there are definitely nicer parts of...

Back to my zoa problem. The zoas were growing on a small piece of live rock which was then mounted on a frag disk. What is the best way to remove. Guy at the store said to pry with razor blade and it would pop off, but it did not. Things went downhill from there. Figured its a rock - it had...

Today was a big day. I got my first frags!!! Needed to get Aiptasia X and the only local store is ELOS in Millburn. You have to admit that they really have some incredible stuff there. Anyway, got to talking to them about frags and they actually have some reasonably priced stuff in a big...

I got back from vacation on Sunday. Tank survived very nicely. Putting the old cover back on made a huge difference with evaporation - I had to add less water after the week then I do on a typical day without a cover. One thing did pop up - - aiptasia. My daughter spotted the first one...

Is it possible that a member would want to bring her (or his) husband? Or is this hobby all men?

This may be a dumb question, but I am wondering how long saltwater lasts. Since I don't have a good place to permanently install my RO/DI system, I have to lug it up from the basement, connect it to the sink in the bathroom and then monitor it all day so the bucket does not overflow. This is...

Thanks Trivan for your generous offer! For a variety of reasons, including the fact that I won't have time to get it before I leave, I am going to have to leave the tank to the elements for the couple of days. I am sure I will be OK, but I am certain that a ATO will be one of my next...

Good news to report. They have moved out of the corner and are swimming around much more. I also fed them and they attacked the food like they used to. I guess it was the micro bubbles from the surface skimmer freaking them out. Too bad because I liked the way the skimmer removed the...

As I have been chronicling in my other thread, I am setting up a 20 nano. Right now I am about two months into the setup and have my live rock, clean up crew and two clown fish. Since yesterday, the clowns have been cowering in the upper corner of the tank. Yesterday, they only ate one tiny...

Hey Anthony - sounds like we have the makings of a trade! I have to give first choice to my daughter, but after that, if she leaves any behind, maybe we can work something out. Won't be until the end of August since that is when she is visiting. The ones that I have too many of are the...

Tell me about it, my tank is overrun. My daughter is coming home in a few weeks and will take some, but she only has a 10 gallon tank, so can't really take enough. I guess after she leaves I may have my first post in the pay it forward page.

Ok. A few pics. One is full tank shot right after I add rock. Another of my clowns and lastly half the snails I got yesterday.

Today my package of snails and hermits arrived from reefcleaners.com. John does not know how to count. There were easily double or triple the number of snails that I ordered. My tank is absolutely crawling with them. I don't think it could have been an easier way to get them, or a better...

A quick update on my tank. Things are looking good. Had my diatom bloom start late last week and it seems to be pretty much done. I am noticing some poopy looking stuff laying on top of the sand and assume it is the snails leaving behind their waste. Clowns are doing great. Got some Hikairi...
