I stopped by my LFS today and it has post-its on the tanks with info when the fish was bought etc. I noticed that the one for a Springer damsel said it eats flatworms- at first I thought that it meant that that was all it ate- I have a Springer for years and it eats anything- got home and did a...
9 months ago I got a very small starry blenny from a fellow reefer and added it to my 75g and never saw it again. I kicked myself at the time thinking I should have put it in the 13g until it got bigger. I assumed it died. This morning when feeding I noticed a fish lurking in the shadows. At...
I'm thinking that it's just a coincedence as far as the light goes. I've had Chaeto melt before- got some new stuff from @Salted and it did fine with the light I had- he lost his and got some from me and did fine- no change in lighting- we've been back and forth with the same original batch for...
My chaeto is melting away, but the graciallis in the other sump is doing fine- nitrates are around 55 and phosphates are just above .2, wondering if it could be the light- using a submersible white led light- has been fine for over a year
I wish mine were 25-after almost zeroing out mine have been climbing until they got to 60- now I'm dosing with NoPox and they are coming down a bit- my corals are fine- but I have mostly softies- I keep reading that it's just a number and not to worry about it- same with Phosphates- can't get...
My chair with a view. This view is when I turn my chair around at my computer desk- the feeder seen in the bottom is from a mirror- I get to see that one when working on the computer- now I just have to get a bigger mirror so I can see the tank when working on the computer lol
I'm trying to free up some space- rock is around 3+" across- the toadstool is not included lol, But hitchhikers are free- possible spaghetti worms, amphipods, copepods- maybe a bristle worm- all for no extra cost- I'll check to make sure the brittle starfish stays at home :), but you never...
So much for them getting here early-- finally saw my first a couple of days ago- and numbers seem to be down. I put up a mirror so I can chill watching my tank and keep an eye on one of my feeders- double chill :);)
Great in theory, and better for someone who has been reefing for years and is either starting over ( crash) or adding a new tank. I'm also an old school guy- where more is better - not into negative space- my tank looks more like the reefs I've snorkeled/dived in- basically a wall with caves...
Home made in tank 3 chamber sump- I just got the last limpets out and shut down the pump- has an inch of aragonite. A 165w led full spectrum Phlizon light is also available- looking for some softies to add to my 75g
I have the gsp as wallpaper in 2 tanks, in one, it has turned the corner and is now growing along the front glass- 2" x 7" available. My other tank it's on a side wall and actually growing out of the water- 12" x 1-1.5" available- pickup in Chester NJ
I've been in the landscaping business for over 50 years and always was good at designs- had my own design construction business for close to 40 years. I got into reefing after a long time out of the hobby and after 3 years am still having a tough time. I like my scapes and somewhat my placements...
So, I'm thinking that @momof6kids will have some nice frags for the next meet or maybe @Subliminal got those DELiciuos frags and will do the same. I hope @erics210 took the pair of clowns he was donating to the cause back and the chaeto ( Erna, check your sump lol) I came home happy- made some...
I owned my own landscape design/ construction company for close to 40 years-retired and now do some light gardening and consulting/ design. got into booking cruises on all cruise lines 15 years ago, have taken over 40 cruises on all the major lines and a bunch of the smaller lines, cruised much...
Although I've never been there, some say that Fengs Reef is great- I think he is listed in the vendors page- you have make appointments with either though
