xenias are attached, so i removed the rubber band. i also added a really nice favites to the tank a few min ago

thanks guys. im hoping to get a marbled favites frag tomorrow. and im on the lookout for some nice perculas to add. not sure if i want onyx or picasso though.

the tank is cycled, and in addition to cheato, hermits, and a few nesarius, added earlier, i added the first 2 corals yesterday. forgot to white-blance the camera, so the pics look too blue and a bit grey. but here are the corals. nothing special... yet.

found. thanks.

hey does anybody near new brunswick (08901) have a xenia they could spare a stalk of?

yeah it was in the fuge but i moved it out to add the sand that made the DSB. i should probably try to put it back now. though when i get the cheato, the whole thing wont fit. so ill probably shatter it into several pieces. i like the pulsing, but in a high flow area you cant really see it...

theres a surface skimmer. but im running it a bit below the surface as a safety precaution. i havent set up the float switches and auto top off yet. speaking of which, i really ought to go measure my sg when im done with this post. this tank had xenia before. its not a special coral. but...

tank is almost done cycling. im hoping that ill get to add some clean-up crew members on thursday. nothing for them to clean yet, but ill feed em to keep em full, and they can help the tank stabilize. then if all goes well next week i may just add a xenia.

While a lot of phosphorus is in the food, its not bad. Phosphorus is required for life. Atp, dna, cellular membranes, etc. All have mountains of phosphate. And the way animals get that phosphate is through food. So you need organically bound phosphate to be available. But algae can use...

bloodworms? do people feed bloodworms to reef animals? id figure that since midge larvae are grown in freshwater that they wouldnt be the best choice for saltwater nutrition.

i filled the tank up last night. water is cloudy... not sure why. hoping it clears up. id show you a pic of the scape, but the forum wont let me post the img code, cuz i cant post links yet i guess.

those are some awesome fish. i love the first one with the massive dorsal. what is it?

the rocks have been acid washed. and the RODI is set up. im hoping to fill the tank up tomorrow, and ill post pics of the rockscape for suggestions once im happy with it.

looks nice. looks like a chalice i used to have. the thing sent out some MASSIVE sweepers.

im gonna be starting up a tank with base rock in the coming days, and want to keep a shallow sand bed in the display area. so id like to buy some live rock rubble and portions of live sand from healthy tanks to seed my tank with microbes and critters. if you are willing to part with some...

been there. not fun - though i was lucky and left the scene with only a mild concussion and some bruising. hope you get well soon.

hey man. i have 20 credits of classes, and research, and a shrimp tank. im moving slow. lol that said, id like to see somebody else scrape glass faster. that tank had YEARS worth of coralline growth on the back pane, and then in the chambers in the back, that i washed in vinegar and then...

hey guys. new here, and somewhat new to reefs. i kept a reef with my dad for years, but he handled all the hardware while i did a lot of the husbandry. so i know coral, but am new to the workings of the equipment. last year during hurricane sandy there was no power to the tank for a week...

a friend gave me a link to this thread. i have to say im grateful. this is one sexy tank.
