Lost a hermit today. So, that's 1 fish, 1 crab, 1 shrimp, 1 softie, 1 SPS, 1 anem (possibly 2) in 2 weeks. I'm aware I need a doser at some point, but the way I've been dosing recently hasn't altered in over a year and the tank, as a whole, has done very well. There has been no alteration...

Welcome and thanks!

Cheers chill, never been big on the freshwater side and my wife picked the fish on the basis of, "I like that". Mark, cool deal. Glad its staying within the group, sorta. Droppping a PM now.

Hey all, Here's a few shots of the tank. One of the flourescents is out and I've got a yellow bulb in there atm. Second shot gives a size comparison v a 4yo. Got a proper fish count as well. 4 neons, 1 hatchet, 1catfish, 1 ghost shrimp, 2 freshwater nerite snails (happy enough to have laid...

Last time the tank required a large dose was about 2 months ago. It required about 17-18oz and the dose was split over 3-4 days at 4oz or so per day. I check alk every week when I do water changes. Water is changed in the morning. Alk is checked that evening. If a dose is required, for example -...

Yep, once per week. I've forgotten once or twice in the past leading to a 18oz or so dose, but for the most part 6-9 per week is normal. 77.8 atm, I leave the AC on when out and have the tank fanned. Temperature is pretty stable between 77-78, on very hot days it may jump to 80, highest I've...

KK, That was my initial thought. I even replaced my Aqueon with a Mag last week. BUT! Your reply got me off my ***. I broke out the meter, replaced the batteries, plugged one end into the outlet and dropped the other in the water. I'm running at 9-12 VAC atm. So that seems OK. I may re-test...

Sequala of events: 2-3 weeks ago noticed a resurgence of bryopsis. 10% water change. Started GFO. 7 days or so ago I noticed that my 2 small anems shrinking, quickly. Got one to the QT, the other I couldn't (can't) find. The QT anem died, assume tank anem is dead. Immediate 20% water change...

HP, KK. I'll be heading to pick it up next Wednesday most likely. And I've built 2 sumps where I've used plexi inside a glass tank with 100% silicone. Had no problem with either one. Saying that, this stuff is so affordable I may try to make a full sump out of it.

7I'm not talking about the entire build. I'm just talking about the internals. I'm going to pick up a 40b at the Petco sale and sump it up. Sorta like that Elvis Costello fish song. Also, ran 1/8 in a small 10g sump/refuge a while back which worked very well. Had a test run of a 20gL sump off a...

Hi all. Found a guy out in Brielle with a bunch of leftover plexiglass. As I'm building a sump, I contacted him and got some great prices on the pieces he has left over post a local job. Checked, seems legit. All pieces are .25" Here's what he has: 2-12x22 6-24x24 2-24x36 2-24x48 (he quoted me...

10g freshwater with contemporary metal stand. Includes 4 neons, 2 hatchets, 1 ghost shrimp, 2 snails, food, filter, a few pads, hood with lights, heater, plants, driftwood, air pump, bubbler tube, CO2, plant food, water treatment, blah, blah, blah. So, its complete. It's not one of those...

Mark, I picked up some phytoplankton and have been mixing in a little bit of Coral Frenzy (assuming any dry coral food will do) then target feeding the gorgon every 3 days or so. The thing is going nuts (plus the other corals are benefiting quite a bit as well). Just an FYI. Mark

LOL still. Just re-opened the post and thought 'it's like looking at baby pictures'.

Just wanted to bump this. I saw the LEDS have now dropped to $160 each on Amazon. I just listed them on CL for $200. Anyone here want's them I'll do $150 for both. Need the cash to finish up current tank before new baby comes (want to get a contained sump (Eshopps r100 or r200) and a cabinet...

Thanks. BTW Mark, that last shot was one of the small 5/6 polyp frags I picked up from you about 6 months ago.

Today's WTF moment... I've got a varied CUC with various types of snail and a few red legged hermits. Are those snail eggs on this hermit's shell? Initially I was concerned for some king of parasite or disease, but these things are spaced, are very symmetrical, and seem to have a bit of...

Doing a bit of maintenance and figured I'd fire off a couple of shots. Met a few of you and have described the tank, but never shared any photos. Overhead... Left, center , right - lights off... Left, center, right - lights on... A few pieces...

Woohoo, a classic! My wife will love the fact that I have something else to dump loads of time and money into!

Mark, Timing is everything. This is weird. Last week I was at the right place at the right time and got a fairly large blueberry gorgon at a fairly small price. Not 10 hours ago, just before bed, I thought... 'self, we have to figure out some stuff about that new coral'. And this morning...
