    Efflorescence from 2006

    Was looking at some old pics saved on some discs and came across my efflo from december 2006 (was 6-8 months old already at the time) and was astonished to see that it's grown and then realized how slow it actually grew, lol. Here it is: DEC 2006 (6-8 months old) OCT 2008 (tonight, a little...

    Aquascaping questions...

    actually, i just drew something up on paper- i saw this in another forum somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I drew out the basic premise as "interchangeable live rock tiers" so you can move corals around as needed when they get too big, or you just want to change the look of the tank without...

    Aquascaping questions...

    Andy- is this what you mean? I have this frame work in my tank now, decided not to use spray foam since some people have said that in time, it acts like a sponge and eventually degrades under the intense UV lights that our reef tanks gets blasted by. The framework is built out of PVC and...

    White stringy soot

    is it web like? does it radiate from a few spots instead of just being 'everywhere'? harmless vermetids that live within the rock would be my first guess, but them appearing all of a sudden is not normal. pics would be awesome if you have any

    Vodka Dosing education needed

    Jumping on the Vodka dosing as well. I have not measured my trates of phos yet, but did buy the cheapest bottle I could find. I'll be dosing the recommended amounts in about a week once my water changes have been completed since I don't want another Hair algae breakout. I just redid my rocks and...

    Tank Teardown!

    yes, Carbon 24-7 (couldn't tell you when I changed it :D ) No filter socks (current plumbing does not allow it) Very little GFO (ran out, although I never really used it in the past) No powerhead to the rocks for a while (I think it's stored away in a bin in the attic somewheres) My current...

    Tank Teardown!

    So basically, after hours of scrubbing, I decided to pull my rock structure to make more open caverns and lessen the rock. I was able to remove another 15-20 lbs of liverock out of my already sparse setup. I'm gonna keep the extra in the sump then eventually remove it, or use it for frag rocks...

    Tank Teardown!

    Yes, it is 4:20 in the morning. I finally had it with the hair algae. Months of watching the wavy green stuff and plucking every week for the past 4 months due to a bad batch of salt, snails dying, corals getting choked, I tore the tank down today after getting out bed still fighting mild flu...

    Pictures from La Jolla, California (sowee, no fisheees)

    The trees grow weird in La Jolla- they grow sideways?!? :D The seawall where the seals hang out. As soon as noon came, people came. As soon as people came, some seals left. As soon as Merv came with his camera, almost all left. I was left with 4. These guys were like, quit it already...

    Pictures from Long Beach Aquarium (Aquarium of the Pacific) **Large Files**

    HERE are my favorite pictures of the day.... Plexiglass and acrylic is so hard to take pictures on. They make the pics look weird, and with the majority of the tanks being circle, it even made more of a challenge. but, here are my picks of the day: camera: my trusty NIKON...

    ooops...missed this one, see the tuh-tle? The view on the outside of the aquarium: and a random shot of one of the 5 rescued seals they are keeping there. Odin is one of the oldest ones, over 28 years old, retired, and blind. Apparently, they can also "hear" with their whiskers.

    one of the MANY jelly fish tanks. For some reason, I lost my appetite for Jell-O and instead, I started craving for shrimp! Actually, I think these were Langostines. Yummy on the Bar-B Another Kelp tank- did you know that Jello has kelp? Toothpaste has Kelp? Did you know that glass has...
