    Death in the tank

    HA! IT lives! In the year its been in the tank I assumed they did not grow. The anems were getting huge, but the pompom stayed the same. Its now about 20% larger (big size jump), managed to see it last night, but no Anems in claws. Wondering if, knowing it was molting, it stored the anems...

    Finnex Marine + 24/7 48in.

    I've got one of those on a hang on fuge. The way those plastic sliders fit into the light bother me, they move waaaayyy to easy. A good bump, angle change, or accidental elbow can easily slide the light off the 'mounting pins' and zap. Maybe if you took some blue tack or playdough or something...

    Great Adventure Walk for Ronald McDonald House Sunday June 11, 2017

    Ed, thats the problem. I'm a rarity on Facebook, and a number of folks I'm on with haven't heard from me in years, as I usually check in once every 6 months. I feel its a bit arrogant to, out of the blue, have a message pop up asking them to sponser me for an event. What I am happy with is some...

    So, here's the reply... So, shipping of $100 must be combined and go to one address. Or, you can order the (i think) $29 pod/cheato with free shipping and just add to it, which may be the best bet (and you can post a review). Lets hold off on this for now. I'm going to try to cancel my...

    Cheato

    No big schedule plans aside from general outdoor stuff. I've been breaking in a new cat converter on the Jeep so happy to meet somewhere, I need to find some coral dip, maybe we can meet up at a shop somewhere?

    Cheato

    Still available, softball sized chunk I'm going to have to ditch to make room for some growth (and a few hundred pods). 201 467-1771

    Hi Ed, Would love to do this this year. How do we raise the money? Is there a form to download so I can collect from fellow employees and family members? Mark

    Jump on board for an order, pods at least. Free shipping at least if we get over $100 (and I'm at $70). With convos I've had, think it's worth giving them a go. More of us that order, better idea of quality, and their reviews of past few months seem quite positive.

    Media??

    FYI - 1If its a lawnmower blennie they can starve easily if no algae (short green hair) in tank.

    Launching tank today. First time reefer.

    Hi Martin, welcome aboard. I may have a few pounds of dry rock about if you need it, or if you need any more live I caan pull 2 or 3 pounds from my tank, but it sounds like you're off to a good start. I pass on the advice I was given when starting this hobby... 'It's much easier to burn hundred...

    Media??

    Testing is key. Water needs a ton of elements in it to keep everything healthy and happy, as I'm sure you know. Floss is easy, I run it all the time in all tanks at the top layer of my filters. It collects garbage and cr@p. It should be changed OFTEN, I change mine every 1-2 days, as anything...

    So, I reached out to AD and received a response from Christina Duncan, who seems to be the owner. Seems she lost the 'Reefs' name due to the e-commerce company they were working with going bankrupt, her domain name being lost, and she's been fighting to get it back. It apparently had nothing to...

    So, these guys/gals have changed names. I've bought pod/amphipod coral packages from them and been very happy with the purchase of the pods. Think was softies and 1 gorgon purchased from them. No survivors with the exception of green zoas. They should go pod only imho. I Know a lot of you guys...

    Amphipods

    Call ACC ahead of time, depending on demand they may be short, though they always seem to be good on phyto. Also dropped a line to Aquarium Depot. Stated general dissatisfaction with livestock from a number of members, but general satisfaction with pods for the most part. Waiting on response.

    All are open, large, and looking fantastic on my end. Will be cruising site and anytime I'm at $108 I'm on an order tonight. This is a good one folks. EDIT Just jumped there after reading Chris's post hoping to buy a few more corals. In the short time we've been scoping this has been our best...
