    'Drink Dispenser Pico' challenge?

    Just grab a cheap desk lamp that will reach it's neck over the top of your container (or high in the back at an angle), then go to a shopping site, type in 'full spectrum led grow bulb', and you'll have a ton of choices between $20 - $30.

    'Drink Dispenser Pico' challenge?

    This was spawned from Jeremy's post... The Pico reef. This intrigues me, a lot. Maybe we should start a club activity. Have members go out and make picos under 3g. Any coral style they like. Thinking that some of these ‘drink dispensers’… drink dispenser can be fitted with stainless or brass...

    Hitch hiker debate

    They look like common fire/bristleworms. Nighttime scavengers of detritus. If you brush up against the bristles it'll feel like your hand's been dumped in acid. Bad rep as 'coral eaters' but those types of worms are very rare in the hobby, and they usually eat gorgonians. Overall excellent...

    Hitch hiker debate

    Those small creatures are pods. Algae bloom is expected and normal. I have a batch of GSP in a mess about tank and its receding, in tanks I care about it grows like weeds. Its a hit or miss, don't judge anything by it. Small anems are a potential BIG problem if they're aptasia (aka glass...

    Venting.... am I overeacting?

    Yep, Aqua Oceans is great as well, bought 2 of my favorite fish there (a snowflake clown and a gladiator clown). Healthy fish at great prices. BTW, you can always post a review, or look for info, here... Retailer Experiences

    Venting.... am I overeacting?

    Arr, them northerers is a odd bunch. Eye used to live thar meeself till I moved southerlee, now eye is OK. So yeah, the shore air restored my sight.

    Rosco's Reef Part 2 Store Video

    Nice vid as always. In past year at ACC I've picked up an IM tank and stand, an ATO, some lighting equipment, live rock, loads of small frags and occasional livestock. Always quality.

    Tank is leaking - Need Help

    S&%t. Heya Sunny, just reading this on Friday night. Anything I can do at all let me know. I may be able to home a few frags for you if you need to put some on backup just in case, but otherwise my capacity is low. Happy to come around early Saturday morning for a couple of hours if there's...

    WTB CHAETO Cuz NC dosen't have any will pay shipping!

    Timing is good, I'm just about to get rid of a chunk of green cheato, softball sized, LOADED with pods. Its a mixed chunk from my tank (the thicker spaghetti variety) and Edwin's tank (the thin tighter growing variety). No interest in anything aside from shipping cost, though I may not be able...

    Odd Pipefish Behavior

    First I recommend QT, then dose with copper based chems, then QT in a second tank and treat with antibiots, then take anything the contaminated fish was in touch with and place each item in a separate QT tan.... Oh... sorry, I thought I was on another site.

    Copepod Farm

    I was running mine to grow specifics, but a small tank with water changes, stone, and hiding spots may do quite well. Don't know if they'll grow just off cheato, but maybe a pinch or two of powdered coral food every day or two? OR spirulina (spelling? its powdered seaweed) may work. Give it a...

    Copepod Farm

    As per pods... Pod farms are a pain and, unless you have money and time to throw at them, are tough. Tried a run myself for a while with my big tanks. You have to consider the species of pod you want to raise (for wrasse, dragonettes, etc, each eats different pods). You cant raise a batch of...
