I've got nothing too fancy, just some generic red acro, you're welcome to some sticks if your down in the Jersey Shore area.

Vic, You're welcome to a few xenia frags if you dare put them in a tank, and I have some generic stick acros I can break for you. Also have a superman monti that seems to have grown off the edge of its rock, can crack you a piece of that if you like. I'm in Brick, drop me a PM if interested.

Many of you have seen my 10g Xenia tank. I decided to up the game to a 40b. I match the lighting exactly to the Xenia tank. I match salinity exactly. I match temperature to the .1 of a degree. I match the flow pattern as best I can with a rotating head and a pulsing head. I had planted a...

Dropped you a PM JB

Nice. Gratz :)

I've kept a pair of clowns (and only a pair of clowns) in a 25 for years with success - a gladiator clown with a phantom clown They're damselfish so they're quite hardy and they look great.

Dropped Xenia in tank the other day. Not pulsing. Moved a bit higher on rock. Think they're pissed off at me... Anyone seen this before? Stress reaction? Spawning? Bad habit? Xenia bleeeding out?

Reefcleaners John's a great guy, livestock is tops, and he's always overgenerous to compensate for any losses in shipping.

zig zag perowinkles, dwarf ceriths, dwarf planaxis You might be right. I expected something after 3+ days, blew the dust off the test kit, and got... Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0

Bah! As lazy as I am I have a scientific education. I'll break out the test kits tomorrow morning and start logging this.

Setting up the 40b. 3 days ago: 30 pounds aragonite (clean). 15 pounds of semi-cycled rock from another tank (with diatome cycle occurring). Large blocks of mature Marinepure from another tank (enough for a 60g). 4oz of Special Blend. Today: 20 pounds dry rock (appeared very clean). 4oz...

Sweet score.

Literally received a shipment of the $40 worth of rock from John at Reefcleaners (along with a ton of CuC and pods). It's approx 20 pounds of FANTASTIC rock that I'm very happy with (that beer bottle is actually wine bottle size and the tiles are 12" square). At around $2 - $2.50 a pound I...

Krysz, Sincerest appreciation for the generous offer. I do have to pass as I need height (6’ or better) and side supports as well as a drillable roof, but thank you!

Just remember... ‘Oh, that frag pack was $20, honey’ ‘Those lights? Yeah, they’re about $20’ ‘No honey, the MP10 is a bit misleading, its nothing to do with the price. So its not actually $10, its $20.’

Going to use bottom 1/3 of the top portion of the cabinet as a brackish tank to grow foliage out of. Was thinking about purchasing a mangrove and trying a tank/tropical combo. But I have to figure out how to build and plumb the tank portion.

For ambitious and stupid project for spring. Need a curio type cabinet with glass/openings on top 2/3 to 3/4 of unit and a small base compartment (can be glass or wood). Can be any shape as long as the areas where the glass panels fit in are not curved. The bottom section is required to store a...

Arg. Going to be in Red Bank that Sunday seeing a show about aquatic dinosaurs. Will try to catch the tail end of the meet but unlikely.

Reading for a year and in the process of prepping a potential tank. Does anyone have practical experience?

All, Thanks, this is engaging mnat, Wall growing will be enforced through intimidation. MR, Thanks much. To be honest I'm going to go with pond foam for the base of the next build and carve with hot wire. Then use Great Stuff to make custom contours and shelves. It's a pain to carve out and...
