Hi all. Let the maintenance on my tank slide the past month with recovery. This morning all was OK. Annnnnnnddd, this evening my shark nosed goby has a cotton wool disease (looks like his skin is falling off) and my wrasse is nowhere to be seen. Look like I've grown myself a fungus. Drastic...

large, though XL would work if no larges

I can do Saturday

I have an IM10 'pest tank' and I love it. 2 types of xenia (silver and white), GSP, a few random snails, a 'killer' emerald crab, astrenas, and a few bristle worms. May as some blue sympodium (though would love to find some blue pulsing xenia). Have fun with it.

Surge protector is something I don't go cheap on, though I do try to get the smallest I need plus one or two additional outlets for future use, plus I mount them a few inches off the ground (my current ones are sitting on top of a small section of 2x4). I also use grounded wiring/trip sockets...

You need a betta in there

Hopefully he never likes a Lamborghini

I'll run a group buy for next months meet at my place (along with a few coral buys).

Agreed 100%. An empty fuge is useless. A fuge with some rock, a couple of inverts, and some macro, set at an alternating schedule, should, according to sources (as above) help maintain a steady pH which is beneficial to the aquarium.

Theres a few articles, but this is the first I found, antidotal, but probably representative... The effect of lights on PH Levels - The Reef Tank Can Lighting Affect the PH in My Aquarium? (consider the macroalgae as the plant/coral) And a research paper, its based on perfumes but shows how...

I'm on smaller tanks mow, but used to do same as Sobo. When tank lights go off, fuge lights come on, and vica versa. Lighting actually has a decent effect on water pH. A totally dark tank (fuge and main) causes a drop in pH overnight which has to be rebuilt in morning when lights come on. But...

These guys/gals have been on my radar for a few weeks. I was eventually planning on a pod order to see how things went and offer a review (after the disastrous results with a different vendor). Then came Memorial Day, and they beat me to it. I received a mail from them. They wanted to give back...

As always, that was great. Nice episode, informative, not overbearing. You make me want to start up SPS and LPS again damn you!

Sorry, should have closed. T man picked it up on Sunday

Reefcleaners.org :) Fast, accurate, things arrive alive. Just make your own crew based on your own calculations, they're pre-made CuCs tend to be a bit heavy.

Good to hear the brace repair is holding. Tank looks good, like the low profile rockwork allowing a bunch of swim room. No considerations of Anthias?

They'll eat coraline more so than anything else. Initially they're not a problem, but usually if you see one, you have 100 (unless, of course, its a recent hitch hiker). I had a 90g with a ton of them in there for a year with no concerns (aside from coraline being eaten). They never bothered my...

Four years service during first Gulf. Fourteen family members in the Great War. Five in Vietnam - two came home, one of my uncles minus a leg, who took his own life a few years back (he was my influence on who I am today). Every Memorial Day and Armistice Day I gently remind people of the...

A crew thats working very well in my 25g (bare bottom): 2 clowns (1 gladiator, 1 snowflake) 1 shark nose goby 3 florida cerith 4 small nassarius 3 sexy shrimp 1 fire shrimp I avoid emerald crabs as some tend to 'eat what they catch'. I've got one in a 10g that has fattened up on a darwin clown...

Sorry, just saw this. I have one but I'm in Brick, NJ. No charge if you want to make the drive. Would be happy to Express mail on Tuesday for Wednesday arrival if that would be helpful
