Typically we try and keep a pair as they will spawn pretty easily so free fish food.

We have had some for years, we have a few right now. What do you think leads to their short life span? What fish do you have in the tank?

Given the shallowness of the tank, I think you are good with your lights, you may just have to adjust the placement of the corals and rocks, like build the rock under the lights for the sps and place the lower light corals around the edges. With that size tank, you have a lot of options. As...

It sounds like you are keeping the long tank in the basement and just converting it over to a reef tank. Usually the biggest difference in FOWLR to reef it lighting, so what is your plan for lighting the reef tank? Skimmer is common for both systems so that is not an issue for you. The next...

Also keep us update. We did a little patchwork for now, we got some locally at Petco in Brick and ordered some from NYAquatic as part of a larger order. We will see if we need to fill in the gaps.

I think reefcleansers was everyones, but I have read some mixed things about them recently.

Where is everyone getting their clean up crews now a days? With the local stores disappearing down here, we are either looking at a drive up north or ordering online. Anyone have any good experiences recently?

I do not, mine are the AO version of jawbreakers.

I think they are in the 5-7 year range. We got them from reefco I think back when he just setup the store. Started with one and they have multiplied, but I have never fragged them. Have a few floating around the tank as well.

Here are my jawbreakers. You can see the babies on the left and the color pattern is random.

A wild Bill appears. Good to see you around.

Yeah, I agree with the other, I have never cut them and I wouldn't recommend it. Colors are completely random and can take years to even come out.

Are you talking about cutting the actual mushrooms?

Wow that is awesome.

That was a quick upgrade, but it looks amazing. Can't wait to follow

Depends on how lazy I am feeling, usually we defrost but popping in a few cubes of mysis works well too.

We live in Point Pleasant, so we feel you. We went from one of the best covered areas so not so much. Clean up crew is always tough and most people try and order online but even that has become harder over the years. For corals, check out Ultimate corals in Jackson, Mark is a good guy but I...

Did you have to wait a while for fish or did he have what you wanted in stock? I have seen some mixed things about him on bigger sites so was just curious your experience with him.

Proudly know as the crazy fish guy, but I am lucky because my wife got me into the hobby so we are both passionate about it which helps.

Our total system is like 400ish gallons (200g display, 80 g frag tank, 60 gall recirc and probably 60 gallon sump). We got the super reef octopus reactor.
