    How do you label frags?

    Name them based on character traits, reward them when they respond properly to their names. After that, its easy.

    sand or no sand ??

    I like a heavier sand like aragonite that helps keep ph balanced, is small enough for burrowers, big enough not to get blown around. Makes the tank look natural. I've done barebottom and algae attaching to it as well as detritus blowing across it doesn't look too nice, plus theres a bit of...

    Club emergency donation thought

    I just finished making a donation to relief efforts post hurricaine and it got me thinking. Carla and I lost everything in Sandy, and we were hotel nomads for the two years following. Still, we had food, water, and knew where our families were. I cant image what those people in the Bahamas and...

    R.I.P Long Tentacle Plate Coral & General Update

    Rainbow acan is kickin. Why would you need help with the zoas? They're looking fine. Yeah, thats a bad scenario though, if they bite other corals... Best bet if that happens is to shoot them in the polyp.

    Chocolate Chip Starfish

    I adopted an angelfish from Mark earlier today after he cleared his tank, but there was also a leftover CC starfish which had surfaced. As Mark had no home for it and his tank was breaking down I figured I'd hold it and re-home (it was sort of a last minute surprise). I have a very large serpent...

    Dear reefers

    We've always posted trades under other sections, think it would encourage more trading if it had a specific forum. I like.

    Over a Year with No Water Change?

    Are you suggesting a salesman may present alternative facts? How dare you! I heeded my dealership's advice and with keeping my monthly oil change and rotation schedule my car has been fine for over four months, though it is hard to fit in time-wise with my bi-montly colonoscopies that my GI doc...

    Relevance of flow in SPS tank

    I'm going to get arrested for fish battery. So I put 2 of the SOW-15s in the tank (105g 4'Long, 2' deep). Dropped them about 4" below the water line on the back wall, one on each end. Angled them at 35˚ or so to meet mid-tank. Cranked up power to 100%. My sandbed got blown about and I had slosh...

    Greetings from Maui!

    I was in a tube in our 12' round 18" deep kiddie pool and I saw a skater beetle. Yours is better.

    Relevance of flow in SPS tank

    Been doing some research on reliable, quiet, big water movers at a good price and the Jaebo SOW-15 keeps popping up. Plan on ordering 2 or 3 when I get in tonight. Should really ramp things up quite a bit. :)

    Looking for help identifying this

    Looks like a sponge to me as well. My Xenia tank has a lot of them, and my main has half a dozen or so. They come in in multiple places at once looking fuzzy, you may even see some 'blowholes' appearing, then they'll develop a yellow/orange or greenish color. Harmless filter feeders indicating...
