My condolences to you and your family in this hard time. Hopefully a shimmer of light will break through the darkness.

I've actually had good results with emeralds eating bubble algae as well. Although, it was in my small 15g nano and he had almost nothing else to eat. After he polished off the bubble algae I started noticing Chaetomorpha patches getting smaller. Sure enough, he was munching on that like crazy...

Paul, As always it's well worth reading what you type! Ben

Happy Birthday (a few days late!) Were you able to blow out the 50 candles? ;D

I agree, it's not a carpet.. and I have no problem with going elsewhere but I need to know what it is first.. ??? This place is normally way overpriced, and I know that they have a major ich outbreak, so I would need to figure out how to QT an anemone anyway.

Hey guys, I saw a smaller (3-5") anemone at one of the pet stores the other day and the worker had no idea what type it was. He also could not give me a price. His answer was "ask my owner" to both questions. I did some goggling, but I could not find any blue species of anemone accept for a...

Hey Guys, I'm going to Fire Island for a batchelor party and I was going to see about collecting some things while I am there. Since the drive is 3+ hours I'm not really considering any livestock, but I figured I could take a few gallon ziplock bags of mud, but I have some question. 1. Is it...

Pretty cool. Thanks Matt! Once in awhile I see a HUGE pod floating around that I figured died.

I've never seen this product, but it sounds like the product adds more nutrients to the water column. I have been using Reef Plus and another reef product now for a few weeks and I have noticed that the bubble algae and hair algae is growing a lot more. As with your tank my corals are also...

Happy Birthday guys!!

There is, or was, a lot of life at the little swimming area they built years ago (15-20 now). It's about a block from Briarwood, but even better used to be more towards the gas station and 16th avenue during really low or just low tide. We used to put on clamming boots and rake up clams and all...

My LFS collects stuff all the time and sells them. I mostly see crabs and shrimp (ghost) and some other type. I doubt that it's legal, but no one has ever questioned them. They are real quiet about it. One of the employee's slipped and mentioned that they had been told to go down to the hook...

What do you guys use for Zoa's? I've been using the IC gel from the group buy and I find that the Zoa's stay attached for a day or two and somehow detach. I have only one of 10 frag groups left. The other "disappeared". I found that I had the same problem with krazyglue gel and I was...

Interesting thread that I will be following to see the results. I just picked up Prime at the last PA GP in hopes of using it during QT to minimize water changes. I had seen others recommending Amquel (plus?) for doing this task, but SeaPrime seemed to do the same. I considered adding it to my...

That's what backups are for.. to restore them when problems happen 8) I noticed that both our forum and ReefCentral went down at the same time. I figured some script-kiddie found an exploit and launched it against both of the sites. Then I noticed that both sites are running different forum...

How do you deal with cleaning the gravel and rocks when doing water changes this way? I've seen a few reefers mention they have this type of setup and while I have considered it... the main reason for my water changes are to export/suck organics/debris from the bottom and rock.

I just switched over from coralife to TMP cold turkey on both of my tanks (15 and 47+sump). I never really considered the effects of switching since I started with another brand before IO. It's been about 3-4 weeks now and the only noticeable difference is that my bleached BTA (been nursing it...

The brown looks like normal diatoms that will pass. Are you using RO/DI water or tap? The brown diatoms should come off easily with a turkey baster, but I'm not sure about the green grass.

I was sold on giving it a try when I originally read this article, but I just never got around to getting to the LFS. But, once I saw your clowns spawning (Bills' clowns) I had to give it a shot to see if I could get mine going. Call me crazy, but the two clowns seem much more active today and...

I just picked up my first batch of black worms a few days ago. I have to agree that my fish LOVE them. Question though. They were like $4 at my LFS for a really small container. This is probably fine since they claim they will only last a week max before they die. They told me to just wash...
