    Show the wood sump! Also, lemme know if you need help during the move. I'm close and usually have weekends and Wednesdays free. Happy to lend a hand (or a Honda Odyssey if needed).

    September 2017 Meeting

    Huzzah for Yellow Pineapple Fish! If its ever up for adoption, and it includes his/her pineapple, I'm first in line. There's a little yellow damselfish that's adopted the pineapple ornament as its home. It, literally, looks out the windows and doors and if anything approaches the pineapple it...

    Petco- recruiting day

    Andrew works in Brick. Great guy. He keep reefs, is an excellent source of knowledge, and really cares about the fish. I've bought a number of fish, and the odd coral, off him. Think he's involved in getting other regional Petcos up to spec - training folks the right way, proper maintenance...

    Pulsing Xenia

    Be happy to throw you a starter rock. Think I have a White Xenia one. I may also have a tiny starter of Silver Xenia. I'm assuming you know the consequences of these in a display tank. The tank I keep them in is Xenia specific, as I know that's how it will end up regardless (I now even have them...

    72g Move

    Vibration leading to stress fracture? Maybe mount the skimmer and return pump on egg crate? I've always used Petco buck a gallons to build sumps from 20g to 55g and never had a problem. I'd call corporate, explain the loss of time and money, and ask if they've switch manufacturers? OR email them...

    Question on water parameters

    Running softies only, haven't checked my numbers in about 8 months. (I actually have a xenia tank I've never checked numbers in, nor have I done a water change in a year on it). If coral in main tanks is acting strange, I do a slightly larger than normal water change (say 40% as opposed to the...

    Max's Shallow Reef: An epic adventure of corals, fine beer, nonsense, and general insanity.

    NO NO NO! KILL THE FLOORMAT! I used the same type floormat under my 60g shallow as I had/have a wood floor and figured it would help protect it. It acts as a wick for every drop of water lost during a water change, it absorbs every splash. And it dissipates the water throughout itself After a...

    Photo Of The Month poll

    BAH! All good, and a few I'd like to vote on. But... I've been procrastinating. Now I'm ready. Just gimme a few... Edit... At 5:43PM we had 6 hours, 58 mins. It's 9:06PM and the poll has been closed for 56 minutes. Think my computer time isn't jibing with the server.
