Cheers Paul! Excellent vid. More PHs to come.

So, after many moons of zoas I'm moving into SPS (montis, acro) in a 105g (4' long, 2' deep). I'm used to a 20x turnover or so in the zoa tanks, and am aware I need a lot more in the SPS tanks (I was thinking of shooting for 60x). Advice I've been given says to go with a sidewall mounted Gyre, a...

Those anecdotal reports always make me wonder for their basis, and I feel its more down to husbandry than tank conditions. Example - when I set up the 105g, I did not wait the required year for water conditions to stabilize or for the tank to 'age' before adding nems. I added 3 within 2 months...

UPDATE Shirts will be ready this weekend. I will not be here. So, pickup scheduled for next Wednesday, I'll try to ship same day.

Knocking down part of the wall is unreasonable. You should think seriously about the repercussions. Against my better judgement, and at great sacrifice to space in my study, I'm willing to take the tank off your hands.

I don't have a solid answer. He did nip at a specific small SPS frag, when it was gone he didn't go after any more. He did seem to nibble and try a few others, but overall had no interest. I thought/think it might be a species thing. I have read that they will occasionally nip at some types of...

Did they ever post a winners list? Was supposed to b eup last night but couldn't find it. Curious who won. Anyone aside from the Dels get lucky?

It sits on my SPS. My SPS doesn't like that. I don't have a picture. Imagine a yellow clown goby. It looks like that. Pick up in Brick. (201) 467-1771

Dropped in tonight. Looks nice. There's a new compact frag system thats pretty cool. Keeps 100+ under blues and easy to see. They've sold a lot since the system came in and are replenishing it this week. I picked up the Iron Man Favia in slot 8 for $35, its a good sized frag encrusting over the...

I actually have the medium version of that on a 40b right now, it works quite well. Nice to see they're including the bit now. The only concern I had was that the inside surface skimmer piece sits low in the tank (40b) so that the waterline is clearly visible 1" or so below the tank rim. I...

I ordered a kit from glassholes. They've got a great reputation, the builds are solid, and they include everything you need, including the drillbit. I've also used Eshopps, which I had to buy the drillbit for, but it did come with a number of mounting options and a hole cutting guide that worked...

Del, Congratulations to your wife! Hopefully she'll let you choose a fish. :) Lemme know when you need a hand, I'll be there if available. ACC, Speakers were interesting, prices were ridiculous, food was great, auction items were groovie and abundant. Also have to say that renting next door was...

I'll drop in Tuesday or Thursday after work :)

Hopefully he already hit his deductible, hate to see him have to pay out of pocket for that.

Les get some general numbers going. They reached out to me today and need numbers and general time frame. I'm thinking something a few weeks out... like Sat, Sept 21 or Sept 28? Would be early afternoonish.

With my 100g system I'm starting to get some SPS onboard. As a zoa guy for the past few years I've had minimum 10-20x flow in my tanks. I'm aware that with SPS I should kick that turnover up to 50-60x. Here's what I have: 2 Tunze 6040 Turbelles, one on each side, each at 1,100gph 2 500gph...

No worries guys, not a big monti guy atm and already have 3 or 4. Catch you guys this weekend.

Matt puts montis in a dark little nutrient starved tank. Then he yells un-encouraging things at them and pokes them with sticks. He's sick. You should give it to me.

Saw Mark a couple of weeks back. The rockwork is covered with coral, big colonies, nice stuff. He and Hockeynut (carpenter extraordinaire) built that stand, beautiful, and its easily a $2,000+ piece of furniture on its own. If I had space I'd be all over this.

So, don't know if many have seen this yet... Scientists at an aquarium just figured out how to save Florida's 'Great Barrier Reef' I was in Point (Pleasant) today and noticed that the aquarium is promoting a special tour for coral enthusiasts which give some background on whats going on with...
