The most common (wanted) anem in the hobby is the bubble-tip, with green, red/rose, or rainbow as the primaries in reef tanks. They require pretty high lighting and circulation. The aptasia/glass anems are reef tank pests that can over-run a reef and they can do well in low light and flow. I’d...

I'm absorbed in World of Warships right now. will give Overwatch a shot this weekend. Plus the tank build, refurbed a closet, put some flooring down, have a few models to continue with, doing some piano stuff, etc... Keeping busy but sh&^^& as there's nowhere to go.

Not sure yet :)

Stage 1: This hobby seems fascinating! Stage 2: I'm building myself a tank. Sure, theres a ton of problems, but its just the learning curve. This is fun! Stage 3: Cyano and diatomes are in my new tank? Panic, but we'll get through this. Stage 4: The tank looks great! This is the best hobby, so...

I've been feeding my two and they're growing into monsters, no splits yet. Sponge graciously passes me one a few months back and I acquired a second at the meet. The first is bigger than a softball. The second, from the meet, was about the size of a 50c pice and is now bigger than a baseball...

Had an 80 and 90 and was sad to see them go out of business. Thanks to Diana I'll be shopping later this week.

Wanted to try to point out a few things, and sorry if you know this stuff already, just writing as a response to your post. If you can go for a bigger sump/fuge than 10g I'd highly recommend it. If you ever have a power outage, your overflow and return line in the main tank will act as a siphon...

That is about the cutest tank I've ever seen, and I used to carry guns and jump out of helicopters and stuff. When I do pico builds or read about them it always makes me laugh a bit as, 'Thats a nice 2-5 gallon tank with a $200-400 support system.' MInd you, my new 7g build (your old fragger)...

While you're at this stage. Think that I hate about the scrubber is disconnecting the central pipe and hauling the whole piece ove to the sink. Might be wirthwhile to find a simple way to hook the screen to the cross pipe so when cleaning time comes, you can just disconnect the screen. Just a...

Its 7:30pm, cant make it tonight, but if RR passes and you can keep it until the morning I can find space for it. 201-467-1771

Make sure you get 100% silicone and read the label (some even say they're OK (or not) for aquarium use). You don't want the ones with additives that have color added, retard mold, or allow you to paint over them. Theres a basic GE 10.1oz tube (reddish orange label) thats about $7 at t big box...

Little too far atm, but thanks

Andy, I could probably use some for the new build. Where are you located? M

I'm not 2 parting, just kalkwasser. I'm running a stirrer between the ato and sump. It works well and is incredibly easy to use. I test 1x per week and if the alk drops below 7.5 I drop 1/2 cup of kw into the stirrer. Evaporation rate doesn't seem to be a major factor as the most fluctuation i...

Ive had this thing up for about 2 years now. I think I did 2 or 3 water changes at the start but hasennt seen a WC in probably 18 months now. Its a reject tank. Any unknown frag, unfriendly fish (theres a blue and yellow damsel) or animal (a chiragra mantis shrimp), invasive corals (xenia, gsp...

Let me preface this by saying I will never attempt to build another stand. I will happily pay lots of money for one. Anyways...

Eh? Well, lets see... it was a long time ago, we called it 'The Cleansing'
