    SPS growth

    So, although I was frustrated that my tank couldnt grow zoas and SPS was growing like weeds, my husbandry has fallen off and the SPS are dying back. As I have no zoas in the tank due to the SPS being water quality divas, I'm a bit pissed at them. But I will appease them, as they're hot and I'm...

    Skyrocketing prices?

    I dont think its just fish. My wife and I noticed it tonight. Earlier in the year we priced out and wrote down a few gifts for the kids. A Disney Princess Wreck it Ralph set - $129, today the cheapest we saw it was $199. A Lego jungle set - $59, cheapest today was $99. We did manage to get the...

    Anemone takeover

    See? AWESOME! I would have responded with some sort of emoji showing much appreciation, but I refuse to ever use the lovey heart eyes, thus this post.

    Ignorance is bliss

    Any shot you recall the 2 bulbs you were using? I'd guess Blue+ and Purp+, but I'm on a T5 learning curve atm. I'm using a 4 bulb combo (still experimenting) over a shallow 30g, am planning to order new lamps soon, and wouldn't mind trying out that 2 bulb combo in one of my channels.

    Anemone takeover

    Blow all these buyers off, they're all lowlifes, rogues, and rapscallions, trust me, I know em. You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy (that was for Paulie). IMHO... Go grab a 120+, stick all those anem rocks in it, LED it up, and drop in 10+ clowns. That would be AWESOME.

    Well...

    Ha! Got ya. No worries. Scarcasm is great! Oh, and, btw, when we do the D&D thing, I’ll bring along the boxed 5e rules!

    Marine Magic algae scrubber

    Well, without having contacted them, I received confirmation today that the order was filled and shipped. They apologized for the delay in shipping and dropped $10 off the price.

    Crap dude, sorry to hear, know you guys were pretty tight on the outside contact thing.

    Well...

    No worries. I'm based in reality. As many others I grew up on Star Wars. When I was a kid, I saw the original in the theater something like 10 times. As an adult, I can now afford some things that I like to display on my walls, and that lightsaber is one of them. Some people hang plates, some...

    Copepods in new tank

    Pods will eventually show up on their own, but that usually happens in a semi-established system. They are detritus eaters, so its usually beneficial to have fish in the tank before introducing the pods with the exception of wrasse or dragonettes, both of which are pod hunters. Wrasse will eat...

    Well...

    Waited 40 years to see that scene where the special guest star's woop-arse breaks out. All is justified. Paulie, perhaps you might like to use my Legacy Series Ventress...

    SHIRTS - OCTOBER 2020

    Well, I got a piece of metal stuck in my eye this morning. Astoundingly horror movie disgusting, but, curiously, no pain at all. Went to a specialist in Brick and got it out, all cool but was in Ocean Medical area, the US hotspot for covid right now. In 2-3 weeks I should be cool to see from...

    What is This?

    APTASIA! Best bet is this. Pull all fish from the tank. If any fish have aptasia on them, leave them in the tank. If any of the fish have swam within 12 feet of the aptasia, leave them in the tank. Empty tank of water. Fill tank with gasoline. Light it. Fuel the fire for 3-4 days. Refill tank...

    80g rimless build

    Touch and go and luck. I had one and I loved it, until... Sponge had stopped by and as we were looking at it. As Matt asked me if it nipped at corals it must have heard him, as it took a chunk of my purple acro. As I was asking Matt if he saw that, which he had, It casually swam over and took a...

    The 210 tank build

    Those barnacle blennies are fast becoming one of my favorite fish. When I dowhgrade one of the clowns, I think I'm going to track down 2 or 3.

    SHIRTS - OCTOBER 2020

    Called them yesterday. They had to order in some shirts which took a while to get in. They mentioned they were actually printing the backs as we spoke and that once colors and sizes are sorted, they'll print the front. Was just told it would be a few more days.
