    Snail sale at live aquaria

    Just checked it out. With the overnight and handling charges my $32 order would be over $70. Now, if some folks in central south wanted to join in for a few 25 packs of trochus, nassars, and ceriths, we can all split the cost and the packs...

    WTB ATO

    I have a float switch one, takes up about as much tank space as a float switch.

    A mushroom pic

    Never realized how appropriate ‘mushroom’ is.

    Light Recommendation

    Aaaannnnnd maybe get a shop to help sponser and get their sticker on each jar (fantastic marketing for them) in exchange for steeply discounted (or free) inverts and easy common zoanthids. I’m going to make one of these today with my son :) Thanks for the idea.

    Light Recommendation

    The most common (wanted) anem in the hobby is the bubble-tip, with green, red/rose, or rainbow as the primaries in reef tanks. They require pretty high lighting and circulation. The aptasia/glass anems are reef tank pests that can over-run a reef and they can do well in low light and flow. I’d...

    Having a good tank day

    Stage 1: This hobby seems fascinating! Stage 2: I'm building myself a tank. Sure, theres a ton of problems, but its just the learning curve. This is fun! Stage 3: Cyano and diatomes are in my new tank? Panic, but we'll get through this. Stage 4: The tank looks great! This is the best hobby, so...

    Bubble tip split

    I've been feeding my two and they're growing into monsters, no splits yet. Sponge graciously passes me one a few months back and I acquired a second at the meet. The first is bigger than a softball. The second, from the meet, was about the size of a 50c pice and is now bigger than a baseball...

    Any feedback on deep blue tanks

    Had an 80 and 90 and was sad to see them go out of business. Thanks to Diana I'll be shopping later this week.

    Plumbing a new Reef Tank

    Wanted to try to point out a few things, and sorry if you know this stuff already, just writing as a response to your post. If you can go for a bigger sump/fuge than 10g I'd highly recommend it. If you ever have a power outage, your overflow and return line in the main tank will act as a siphon...

    3 gallon bowfront

    That is about the cutest tank I've ever seen, and I used to carry guns and jump out of helicopters and stuff. When I do pico builds or read about them it always makes me laugh a bit as, 'Thats a nice 2-5 gallon tank with a $200-400 support system.' MInd you, my new 7g build (your old fragger)...

    Algae scrubber who uses one and why

    While you're at this stage. Think that I hate about the scrubber is disconnecting the central pipe and hauling the whole piece ove to the sink. Might be wirthwhile to find a simple way to hook the screen to the cross pipe so when cleaning time comes, you can just disconnect the screen. Just a...

    Let’s build a tank

    Make sure you get 100% silicone and read the label (some even say they're OK (or not) for aquarium use). You don't want the ones with additives that have color added, retard mold, or allow you to paint over them. Theres a basic GE 10.1oz tube (reddish orange label) thats about $7 at t big box...
