So, this is a bit odd.
I woke this morning thinking about the tank.
I've been through many tanks over the years and have always preferred nanos 60g or under.
And I've always loved zoas.
I go through cycles of going bigger then downsizing after 1-2 years. But, a decent sized zoa breeder with an...
My gift is a quick scan of the smilies and sending all the ones I saw and initially thought 'WTF is that?'

Heya J,
Been down with potential surgery myself and tank has gone to pot as I haven't been able to do water changes in 3 months, nevermind that general feeling of illness and disinterest in more trivial things outside rest and recovery.
What type of algae does your tank have?
I'm over-run with...
Got a 5g set up and cycled and invert only. Decided that, as its going to be sorta dirty, maybe I can try to get back to some zoas.
As many may know I had massive zoa colonies and during an ill run of events, they were reduced to nada.
I'm running sps now but to be honest, I'd drop the 120g SPS...

Brick Petco got a rare shipment in.
I picked up 2, they're the size of medium to large emeralds.
Andrew still had a couple left as of 3pm today, but they were generating interest quickly.
READ THIS FOR A BIT OF MEMBRANE FYI
OK, did a bunch of research today.
Here's what I learned via GE, Dow, two major fish retailer employees, and one long term hobbiest.
Membranes are membranes.
The difference is in effectiveness and daily production (gallons per day). We should be most...
My system crapped out and, after complete disassembly, all is good, so the membrane seems the suspect.
I have a Spectrapure MFM0090 standard membrane in there now.
If I replace it with same, it will take a few days to a week to receive, in which case I will end up buying water.
But...
Amazon...
Ha!
I'm waiting to see if I'm getting a tax refund to help support a new powerhead for my 120.
Recently I put together a pico/frag tank, 5 gallon, and with pump, bulkheads, small light, sand, rubble rock, etc. I'm still out a couple hundred bucks before livestock.
I'm sure if EVERY hobbiest...
Algaebarn does copepods - tiny. I've been raising a bunch of these over the past 2 months.
Amphipods are the guys that jump out of the bag and you have to pick up off the countertop.

1200 Amphipods for $50 with free shipping. Should be getting by Tuesday. Will post experience.
Site is clean and organized, prices are right, theres a great variety of live foods, inverts, etc...
If good, will contact the powers that be regarding a...
Eric,
FAntastic, hope you did well with that sale. THe amount of old SW stuff, Black Hole, ST, etc, that I threw out or let go would have put my kids through college.
And a Space 1999 theme tank would be pretty cool.
Matt,
I still do rockets with my son, we just picked up 2 new ones we plan to...
Built tons of models as a kid.
Spent 15 years as a professional artist, building many things from scratch in free time.
Decided to get back into BIG models that I can detail the ^*$# out of - cockpits, pilots, lighting, weathering, mwaaahahahahahaaaaaa
So, got the starter kit together (with a 2...
Got 2 at different times, both in same 110g tank. Feed them regularly and neither has touched a coral. Plus with their color and pattern changes, as well as the chill and explore attitude, they’re my favorite fish in the tank.
