    Picky Pajamas

    Dropped a Bangai in the tank a few weeks ago. Went a day without feeding and tried frozen bloodworms and frozen greens, wouldn't touch them. Tried flakes and pellets, no dice. ATM it will only eat mysis or raw chopped up shrimp.

    To mandarin or not to mandarin

    You are a very ingenious man. I'm sure you've heard that often. None the less, I repeat it, and will under oath if the time ever comes. 'Yes, your Honor, I couldn't believe someone I knew was involved. I don't know much about him, but he is quite ingenious'. My thanks. I shall be doing much...

    Juano's 75 Gallons "The Re-Build"

    Juan, sorry to hear. Are you sure they're dead and not just closed up until they adapt? Regardless, I have little, but might be able to offer a few pieces/cuts/frags if you're in need.

    To mandarin or not to mandarin

    When I began my initial tank, a mere 9-10 months ago, my goal was to, eventually, harbor a mandarin. I'm not looking to do anything soon, just trying to figure out if; A) I can have on in my tank B) What preps I may need over the next few months. C) He'll like the little sailor outfit I made for...

    Weber grill FREEish

    Reefer, I'm sorry, it went pretty quick. I had a call within an hour of posting it and was unable to get to the website during work to update the post.

    Weber grill FREEish

    Bought a house last year and the owner left a Weber Spirit E/SP 310 grill, one of those $800+ things. Was 6 years old, needed some parts, so I dropped $150-180 in it for new ceramic inserts, new cast iron grill plates, etc... Works great, looks good, no major deformities aside from the inside...

    Bryopsis :(

    Not planning on a water change for a while, going to see if the decreasing food source and increasing Tech M impurity will do the job. Eyeballing this for the most part based on bryopsis itself and the state of the inverts, in particular the micro-ceriths I have in the tank. Day 3 (Monday)...

    Bryopsis :(

    Sunday Added 150ml Tech M, according to the label, this should raise Mg by approximately 50ppm (going up slowly and monitoring along the way).

    Quick Lobster Question

    From what I understand lobsters have a general reputation of killing inverts, attempting to take down fish at night, and can pose a threat to corals. But, there is the argument that not all lobsters are equal. If it was me, I wouldn't risk it. If not running a quarantine, A FW dip is very...

    Bryopsis :(

    A frag I bought a few months back was a bryopsis carrier. I've battled this piece of rock three times now and always come out on top, usually with little bits of green sludge on my clothes and smelling of peroxide. Now, having returned from vacation and with the auto feeder having been on, I've...

    Heater education and recommendations?

    Roger that. Was able to cancel as I just ordered it an hour ago.

    Heater education and recommendations?

    Thanks all. Well, I don't believe I need a controller right now as all of the equipment I have is automated and none of it is crucial to my being in touch with it. But, I did however buy a small heater controller to get things started with and will eventually look into wiring up a two channel...

    Heater education and recommendations?

    DANGER! RAMBLING POST! So, with summer approaching I've decided to focus my concerns on heating my tank (it's like I'm from Bizzarro world). Recent winter state: Leftover heaters build. I thought - One 200W and two 150W heaters, all adjustable, they'll all monitor each other, prevent...

    I need some opinions (help)

    Dude. You're making this WAY too hard. There's an easy way to get to 200g with each tank bottom within reach. Just keep the 90 as is. THEN, use tanks you have lying around, hell I can give you some, and ADD to your current setup. This allows you to achieve a split level effect AND...

    Gone a few days - feeding?

    So, returned from the trip and, all in all, things went relatively well. Algae bloom beginning so the reactor gets dropped in with some GFO today. Autofeeding worked well for all with the exception of the new kid, a Darwin Clown. Small when intro’d to the tank and, seemingly, being unable to...

    I went to that big store

    I used to go to the orange store. One day I was making a large purchase and asked the man at the register for a military discount. I showed him my card and he said the same thing. He then told me that even though I 'didn't deserve it' he would ask the manager. I simply told him not to bother...

    'The Beast Behind the Rabbit' - free

    It is. It seems content in the fuge atm, though I have found my car keys misplaced in the morning and blood trails intermingled with little dotted footprints leading to the doors of the root cellar. I did not have a root cellar before owning this crab and I believe he architectured it to hide...

    I'm so confused on powerheads

    Had a couple of Jebao 10s in a 40 breeder and they worked fantastically, nice as they come with the wavemaker controller and its pretty cool getting a programmable and powerful powerhead so affordably. Treated myself to a gyre 130 for a 4' shallow reef and have to keep it between 40-50% -...
