6 turbos and yeah. I drop in a Nori sheet once a week for them. But there's a lot of crap in there for them to graze on. I pull some Gracilla out from my refuge every so often and they kill it within the night. They also have eaten every last strand of Caulerpa that was growing on some rocks and...

I might get some more pics tonight. The tank is a bit cluttered because of the new frags I got and all and the Orange Crush acans I got from Will at AO. Thanks for the kind words, too! :)

Dude, you can go to Belmar where the bridge is by the beach and catch them there as well. Blue angels, queen angels, porcupine puffers, lionfish (yes, they are in the Atlantic now, unfortunately!), butterflies, etc. You can go out to Seaside and catch boatloads of Lookdowns to sell. But every...

Amazing growth there, too. Your Euphyllia look downright gorgeous.

I know you said South Jersey, but some people consider Monmouth either where South Jersey starts or at the very end of Central Jersey. Anywhere in Monmouth County where you find a good elementary school. Because after that, you have the Monmouth County Vocational School District to choose from...

Club soda works REALLY well.

This is my take on this. You say you're looking for the best color for your corals. 20K, by far, offers the best pop and colors if you ask me. But the problem with that is that you see a lot less growth with the 20K bulbs. I really do prefer a 10K bulb (my current bulb is 15K and I can't wait...

A properly made FW dip is less stressful than days/weeks in a hyposaline environment. I've gone upwards of 70 minutes with FW dips where the fish never once seemed uncomfortable or going crazy. Of course, there are exceptions (wrasses, in particular). But I'd never, ever recommend hypo for...

I actually need to PM you about that, Phyl. Haven't gotten my card yet! :(

It was in the coral tank on the right side -- facing the other coral tank. They have another one sort of like it in the same coral tank on the side facing the cichlids. Same price. I paid $120 for it and I think it's worth every penny (I actually thought it was quite cheap for the color and size).

Thanks plenty, Bob! :)

I got in a new Echinophyllia today from Tropiquarium. Gorgeous specimen. Pictures of said chalice coral:

Pictures:

I'll try and get one in a few. I think it's roughly 6 inches across or so. A truly gorgeous specimen if you ask me. I was surprised that no one bought it (Trop had it for months now and it's grown quite a bit in their system).

Just picked up a gorgeous red Echinophyllia from Trop. A small question on it -- Where do you guys place it for optimum health and growth? Seen ranges all over -- high light, high movement, mid light, mid movement, etc. I have it towards the bottom of the tank right now (about 17 inches under...

Great people. Some of the most knowledgable in the biz. They can also special order most anything for you as well.

Very nice store when I visited. Problem is, they outprice Trop by a good amount on some things. Obviously because they are in Greenwich, but it was much more of a "window shop" trip by me! Gorgeous store, though. Definitely worth a visit (especially if you live close to it or are passing by it).

Heard some good things about it and I sort of regret (like most people) not getting the CADlights Pro tank. I am VERY leary about overflows and have always tried to not recommend them to new tank buyers (being that I work at Petco, we get a lot of first time salt water customers and I try to...

Its cool! AO gets in the Parvirostris quite often.

If you go with this list: Fuzzy Dwarf Lion Golden Dwarf Moray Valentini Puffer Spotted Puffer Lyretail Hogfish Harlequin Tusk You could probably get away with adding a dwarf angel or so. Or maybe a Bluejaw Trigger (or something like a Crosshatch or Sargassum Trigger -- reasonably sized and...
