Bah, you guys know how much I hate zoas... Mark, Those bloodsuckers are $5 a head, right?

Saw Mark's tank a couple of weeks back. The effort he put into it is tremendous and it shows.

OK, hope this helps. Typing some general stuff here to cover bases, no insults intended. I'm assuming you haven't run a closed nano system previously. I run a load of nanos, though at the moment I only have 4 (40g, 40g, 10g, 7g). The media rack (or basket) goes in the first chamber that the...

Welcome aboard! First, love the stand, if you put a bar and a TV in there you're set. Also love the set up, I'm surprised you're a first timer with the hobby as you're setting up a fantastic system. Secondly... If you want to get trashed you're in the wrong place. You'll not see aggravation...

Happy Birthday!

The pet release thing I understand. Many years ago I raised ferrets and it required a special exotic animal license at the time for the same reason, they didn't want ferrets running amok mating with or killing local wildlife. It almost seemed a mute point. My ferrets were not tagged or tracked...

Cheers guys and thanks for having us!

Got to disagree with the Petco statement, at least here in Brick. Think its a store by store assessment. We've got a guy at the Petco here, Andrew, who is top notch. He runs quite a few tanks of his own (including seahorses), keeps their saltwater department stocked, super clean, and very well...

If anyone has any zoa frags they'd like to sell or trade let me know. I've got some good sized frags of red acro, can clip some superman monti, or offer a zoa trade of a purple body orange skirt frag(s). Edit: And will be bringing at least 1/2 dozen bags of cheato loaded with pods for the taking.

Never deleted any post, never would.

Recently there was an internet post that a pair of axotols had a few dozen young. These young were offered for adoption but the post was removed from the forums, and rightly so, as owning the animal is illegal in the state the ad was posted in, as well as in many other states. But here’s the...

Mmmm, tank was totally black for 84 hours. Still got the algae in the same 2 places. It's less but still present. Chemipure, manual clean, and 20% wc tomorrow.

Cheato with snails and pods. Lots available. In Brick off Jack Martin near hospital. Mark (201) 467-1771

Good thoughts, thanks. The lighting is matched best visually, nmo par on hand but tried to account for depth (submerged mirrors and other half baked science ideas attempted). When I dropped the frags in the 40g I went with an acclimatization placement which did no good. Per carbon, the bag in...

Lax on water changes. Noticed a few good sized areas of hair algae taking hold.

Piece of cardboard over the top. Just left it off so folks could see how the sheet was on.

Running late this morning, wanted to do a blackout, got the tape, got the cardboard... then I saw a fitted sheet. I'm sure I'm not the first to do this, but I never thought of it before. A king size fitted sheet should be able to cover almost any tank. This is it on my 40, install time 10 seconds.

Looks like I'm returning from Red Bank around 4, was hoping to stop in. Is this still happening? EDIT: Nevermind. Seems I’m a week off. Thought this was today. So, looks like I can make it next week.

Yep, but I'm succeeding. Going to try dumping some of the muck from another tank's protein skimmer into the 40b. Here's the 10g tank, its mesmerizing to watch.

Nice. Shrooms are easy to take care of and propagate nicely. Look for some ricordias, they're easy, affordable, and very colorful.
