    Check the other thread regarding raffle items and orders. We've got Reef Cleaners and H2oPro corals offering discounts on the vendor front (so far). I've got raffle donations coming in from Red Sea, Tunze, and a few other companies yet to be named. Gonna be a big one.

    RAP scores!!!

    Heya Mark! Yeah, this thing had me confused, surprised, and hoping all at once. If I still had my big tanks I would have left with one. Really a matter of curiosity to me. For the $300 or less they were looking for, it seems they may be on the way to riches, assuming it works. Curious to see the...

    Filter setup

    Heh, seems like the three of us need a Fluval forum. This is tough as there is no space in 1 for mechanical filtration. With chamber 1 being used for the skimmer, it limits your options. Cheato growth for phosphate control is not really an option here If you didn't have the skimmer you could...

    Sobo's Fluval Evo

    No. The biofilter media is designed for max surface area internally and externally through porousness. This media has holes and channels small enough that detritus can not collect in it. It acts like live rock. The ceramic rings are not as porous and lay against each other, creating hollow...

    Sobo's Fluval Evo

    For all the times I've used Chemipure (Blue, Elite, etc...) I don't think its ever outperformed carbon, decent water change, and a shot of Aquarium Water Quality & Conditioners: Special Blend Water Conditioner Growing Cheato in top section of second chamber of my Evo as well. Also, I'd advise...

    I am leaving the hobby, selling all.

    One word... Nanos More words... I have 3 since I gave up my 90. A 25g (IM shallow), a 13g (Fluval Evo), and a 10g (IM Nano). They're great accent pieces, corals are spread amongst them so a crash doesn't kill everything, I have space to shift fish (though its never been necessary), each tank...

    New Build

    Almost like an image of crossed swords over a crown. Draws focus towards the center with minor props. Branch jutting forward gives nice depth to center piece. Most excellent.

    WTB ATO

    Any reliable brand or model. Nothing too crazy, its for a mess-about tank. If you have one with a broken float switch I have a few spares that I can repair it with. (201) 467-1771

    Rosco's Reef with Scott

    Scott, As always, excellent vids. Though that Marcus guy seemed a bit dodgy.

    Free Bag of Cheato

    Got some in Brick as well.

    diatris??

    I dosed to instruction and all my fish, zoas, snails, and carbs are fine. I did a big clean post treatment trying to find the deceased fish (didn't), ran a 25% water change to compensate, and decreased my feedings, also took to using a turkey baster to gently blow off the rocks and zoas every...

    diatris??

    I had the same problem a few months back with a red cyano outbreak. Was feeding a bit much and had a long light cycle for growth, then had a death in the tank and was unable to recover the corpse. The stuff spread like wildfire, all over the place, don't think there was a surface without it...

    NIce weekend surprise

    No color patterns yet, but it (they) is (are) a beautiful bright orange. With all the zoas I've been cultivating its testimony to the jawbreakers that everyone who see's my tank initially asks, 'Wow, what is that?', invariably pointing to the jawbreaker, which is behind the rastas, the ice...
