Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
We run carbon on occassion, but not all the time. We also use the GB carbon. We still have it. I think it is 72$ for a full 55# bag and 36$ for 1/2 a bag, but I need to double check.
Did this happen before the cyano outbreak? If so then you just identified the source of your cyano outbreak. Your sandbed stirring released nutrients that now need to get out of the water column. A HUGE (50%) water change would be next on MY list to drop that nutrient level back down. But that's...
Can't wait to see the frag again. Hurry up and cycle that tank already! I have some stuff I need to get rid of, lol! Love the rock. Beautiful texture on them.
Welcome back. With 300# of rock to choose from you should be able to pick the best pieces of the bunch. Welcome back and enjoy! We're looking forward to watching the tank progress!

I have a couple of large-ish petals of idaho grape cap (10-25 depending on if it comes out whole or not) I need to get rid of. I also have one orange crush acan frag that needs a new home (8$ a...
Oh Erna. I can't imagine the fear pulsing through the family right now. You all have my thoughts and prayers. Maddie for her health and well being and the family for your strength and ability to endure all that has been thrown at you. Hang in there and keep us posted as you can.
Let's please keep the conversation civil. We don't need to argue about this. It is a sport and people (on both sides of the equation) are VERY passionate about it. That means that you need to accept the excitement of others. If this thread can't stay civil it will be closed.
Thanks for your...
They need a bit more veggie than that. I'd try some algae wafers or nori hanging in the tank, a bit of food made for herbivores. Maybe some Ocean Nutrition Formula two (even flake is better than not). It does sound like it might be the initial stages of HLLE (head and lateral line disease). If...
