    Current USA 36-48 Marine LEDs

    So I have 2 of these that I had on my 40b when I started. They were excellent. Programming is easy as heck. You can sit back and hit some 'fun' buttons once in a while, via the remote, while watching the tank - such as turning down the room lights, hitting the 'storm' effect button, and playing...

    Is This Too Big?

    It's ... Bah. Nevermind, too easy.

    How I spent RAP

    I'll just stick with excuses and try to be as creative as possible. Hopefully I wont repeat myself over next few years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdUfLIgnXnE

    How I spent RAP

    George, very nice. In 11 months you should casually leave a 'modified' listing of anniversary gifts laying about. I'm sure they'll be quite surprised at 'SPS corals' being a 6th anniversary gift. BTW all, thanks for the wishes. It wasn't a major event nor a bid for sympathy, just felt like s$@t...

    How I spent RAP

    Friday evening I decided to continue on with building my son's swingset. I decided to work on Friday as I expected to be in Secaucus on Saturday. The last I worked on the set was Wednesday. So, Friday I decided to bolt a corner brace to a cross support, just under a 4x4 beam I installed on...

    New to hobby/forum... could use some insight.

    Hi Dio, Im off towards work right now, I'll post a few great links later tonight (or over the weekend) that I used to get up and running. Its going to be a tough weekend to get many replies from the regulars. There's a huge coral and saltwater show this weekend up in the Secaucus convention...

    2x Anems and 3x Mangroves in Brick

    Roger that, all spoken for. I'll be at RAP on Saturday morning, volunteering if possible. Will have the anems in a decent size tupperware container and hope for the best.

    2x Anems and 3x Mangroves in Brick

    They were a very light brown bubble tip. I had a current (as in electric) problem in my previous 40b tank and it split and went into hiding. I countered the problem a few months ago with a new pump when I transferred everything over to a new 65g tank. They reappeared soon after with a slight...

    2x Anems and 3x Mangroves in Brick

    New tank has fish and corals thriving but the anems don't seem to be growing over past few months. Each is about the size of a 50c coin. They're active and mobile with current changes, and on the occasion I feed them directly they readily accept food. Just don't think tank is doing it for them...

    WTB (used) mini reef system

    Hey all. I've got a 20g tall freshwater that I'm looking to replace with a mini reef-ready tank. Was looking at, and am tempted by, the 29 Biocube. Plan on setting up the tank, running some live rock and some corals, and intro a couple of seahorses in a few months time. Figured I'd check...

    I've not seen this before...

    If you happen to live in a castle, have a metal slab capable of being levered to the roof, a few lighting rods, and a misshapen manservant, it could make for an interesting weekend. Oh, and Boyd makes Chemi-pure, was thinking about picking some up myself in case of emergencies.

    Rob's time for an upgrade 180

    Two things come to mind, and I will avoid making an immature boobie joke. First is the glass. Was it factory coated in a light oil? Any possibility of a residue? Second is current. I lost 2 or 3 corals and had an anem split and bleach then didnt see again. only when i had a small cut on my...

    Help? ID, good? bad?

    Guess it matches my avatar (and horror) preferences. It is henceforth named 'Lord Cthulhu'

    I've not seen this before...

    In searching for an ID for my new friend, I found this... http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-04/rs/ If you scroll about 1/2 way down there's an image of a eunice worm named 'max'. Looks very very similiar, but as Paul mentioned, looks like a pice, not the whole thing.

    Help? ID, good? bad?

    Thought it was subsand bryopsis, fished it out and almost ditched it till I realized it was moving. Polychaete? Terebellid or Cirratulid? See those as both beneficial worms. Just want to be sure before I throw it back into tank. Cheers, M

    Late reply here. Kristen and Tom, thanks for everything. Had a great time, especially T. Didn't get to watch Game of Thrones, was too busy reading my comics. Oddly, found this...

    I went to that big store

    So, I went to one of those today. Not my normal one, this one was a ways down the road. (note I used to live in Upstate, where that meant 45 minutes aways somewhere east-ish). I was there for a plastic piece for a fountain. As we wandered about we also decided to make the final plant run for...

    Skimmer Micro Bubbles

    Just an FYI. I picked up a Coralife 100(is) a few months ago for a 40b as I found it on sale at a big shop and I got a great deal at $100. Had a massive amount of microbubbles. Gave it about a week and a half and it calmed down a bit. But, the pump/wheel kicked out after 6-8 weeks. Coralife...
