    Cutting live rock - help please

    Time to freak the clowns out. Anyone done this? I've got about 30 pounds of live rock currently in tank. As I'm using the tank to house zoas, I thought it would be cool to have a zennish tank of flat rocks piled up like steps with shelving for pockets of zoas. To do this, I would have to cut...

    Q - Do I need to cycle a frag build?

    Here's the scoop. New all in one tank going to be a zoa/paly frag (only) tank. No sand, no live rock. Plastic 'eggcrate' on PVC legs. Biomedia is ceramic, use it in all my tanks, love it - MarinePure Ceramic Biomedia Plate Some of above ceramic will come from an established tank. 5g of water...

    WTB Jebao/Jecod small wavemaker

    Starting a small frag tank with a 13g Fluval Sea Evo. Pump is OK (11x turnover), but considering supplement. Looking for a small used wavemaker, any type as long as it has a random flow control. Jebao-wise looking for a smaller unit (PP-4, TW-10, etc). Lemme know.

    Algae Barn (+ (additional +++ for my bias))

    These guys/gals have been on my radar for a few weeks. I was eventually planning on a pod order to see how things went and offer a review (after the disastrous results with a different vendor). Then came Memorial Day, and they beat me to it. I received a mail from them. They wanted to give back...

    Bubble algae question

    My small Xenia tank has a bubble algae outbreak, but the emerald is actually doing its job. I have a few zoa frags in there that I'd like to transfer to another tank. Lets assume for safety that the frags DO have bubble algae. Will a coral dip or peroxide bath (or both) make them safe for...

    It has begun...

    As my 6yo was passing a Beta display this fish was 'interested' in him, and, he is obviously red. Meet 'Red Interested', his first official pet. A small 1 gallon self cleaning Beta tank (pretty neat) and a plant. Total damage about $15 Tiernan says to me tonight, "Now we share the same hobby!"...

    Bad fish week

    So, I had 2 darwin clowns and a small lazy goby in my 10g IM awaiting transfer to a more luxurious home. Possibly to the East side, to a deeeeluxe apartment in the skyyyyiiiiiyyyy. 3 weeks ago, the only change was addition of an emerald crab. I doubt he/she is the concern, but who knows. Last...

    Aqua Oceans (Tom's River) (+)

    Small shop in Ocean County. I bought my first big tank there (65g reefer). Can't recall the owners name and neglected to ask today, but a small operation. A number of USED tanks at great pricing. If looking for a used in Ocean (or nearby) counties, its more than worthwhile to call to see what's...

    Bought 1976 Apache Mesa camper

    Was first in line and the owner gave me first refusal. We were there for an hour contemplating while 6 others showed up anxious to buy. We bought it. 5 congratulated us, one cursed us. Great shape, apparently one of the best hard sided pop-up campers made. Total noob to this. Anyone with any...

    Aquarium Depot (online) (-)

    So, these guys/gals have changed names. I've bought pod/amphipod coral packages from them and been very happy with the purchase of the pods. Think was softies and 1 gorgon purchased from them. No survivors with the exception of green zoas. They should go pod only imho. I Know a lot of you guys...
