I have been keeping some live rock in a barrel for a while. It includes a piece of Pipe organ coral (red) I will try to keep shaded to keep coralline algae away from.

Well its time to start a new tale of the tank. This tank will be my first saltwater aquarium that utilizes a sump, not hang on equipment. I am starting with a 90 Gallon Aqueon reef ready aquarium. How I arrived at this tank size is kind of funny. I have been eying the lover level slab in...

I went to Jenkinson's Aquarium today, specifically to check out the bubble tip anemone tank (with goby, pistol shrimp and clownfish). Cora, one of the aquarists, showed me some of the details of the tank such as the lighting (Orbit marine) as well as showing me the coral downstairs in the...

Neat setup, although I got stuck wondering how all those fishing poles come in.

The one side may be more due to water flow conditions.

After 2 + years, I am starting to get some algae. I am not sure if it is hair algae or some form of mat algae. The tang, angelfish and emerald crabs do not seam to eat it. I have tried removing a few covered live rocks. I also placed cardboard in my window to cut out some daylight. I...

While at the ACC bash, I noticed the Red Sea Reefer 500 Return pump was on a pulse or wave mode. I thought it was a little noisy. On a 2 drain overflow system, getting the primary drain to almost match the return pump appears to be the key to keeping a syphon and hence a silent drain system. In...

I now have a ride.

Since I am now without a car, I was hoping I might be able to hitch a ride to ACC Saturday at whatever time is convenient.

It was me, but I am OK.
