Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
i think a lot of it is frustration. idk about you, but with me its always something. within the past year: my tank leaked, my main pump failed, and failed again, my chiller got stuck in the on position (tank got down into the 60s), my doser dumped both 2 part solutions in and gave me a...
under actinics, are the polyps yellow? if so, its probably the wwc starburst cap. theres also a coral that looks identical, the setting sun cap from reeffarmers. they are probably the same coral under 2 names.
if the polyps are actually white and never get pigment, ive never seen it before.
wow, havent updated my thread here in some time.
recently had a bit of an algae issue. not sure what kind of algae it even is, but i found out my rodi water was up around 22ppm output - i swapped everything a few months ago, except had only enough DI resin for half the container, so i left...
mainly looking for encrusters and bright colors. particularly interested in a purple haze monti, a colorful porites (like jason fox special), a stylocoeniella, and wouldnt mind a bright stick or two.
can trade or buy.
also interested in other sps i dont have, btw - if you have a frag of something cool you want to unload, hit me up and ill try and google what it looks like.
Moved to philly and brought my tank with me. Now I gotta fill in the empty bits with corals. Prefer frags or minicolonies.
Corals I'm looking for:
Purple haze monti
Appleberry monti
Srylocoeniella
Jason fox special porites
Green slimer acro
Acro caroliana or similar (like a banana...
just came across this, and i was like 'i want one' - too bad $200 for a frag is too much for me.

anyone see this in person. it looks to insane to be real.
The majority of the project will be an analysis of current scientific data. However I'm recquired to do a 'community service' portion for project, and there really isn't much I can do. The teacher suggested something along these lines so I'm going with it. I agree, sticking a few frags in...
As part of a class I am doing a "citizens science" project and want to collect some data to preform statistical analysis and display the results. The results should correlate various aquarium parameters to coral growth rates.
I would appreciate if as many people would give me data, as the...
agreed. but it was proposed by a private group.
besides most of our politicians who ignore scientists prefer to ignore them outright, not misquote them.
and hell how can you claim ponape birdsnests are threatened when they were officially described to recently to possibly come to any...
Anyone see this article: http://reefbuilders.com/2015/01/23/saltwater-aquatics-industry-major-jeopardy/
apparently a bunch of corals we keep could be declared illegal to buy/sell/ship/own. including A. lokani, ponape birdsnests, and frogspawns. i just put up a comment on the govt site as...
New survivor: meteor shower cyphastrea
I now see 3 polyps expanded and alive, but without any surrounding tissue. Since this coral is a slow grower anyway, it's not a very useful survival since it will be a year til I have enough to call a frag. But I might get a frag and add it to the...
still have some dead skeletons to remove. the new acros are largely browned out, but they like to do that when messed with.
my white balance was off, sorry about that. things are less greyish in person.
