Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Yes.
What I've done is cut off the pipe close to where the fitting is. Then take a heat gun and heat up JUST the pipe that you are removing from the fitting. You don't want to heat the fitting (if possible) because you don't want the fitting to go soft/misshape. Take a pair of pliers and grab...
Yes (live rock under water), yes (increase fuge lighting), and I'm not sure what light is optimal for over a fuge, so I'll leave that for someone else to answer!
Emerald crab sized? Without the black tips, I wouldn't be too worried about it. It does look a lot like an emerald. The sump to eat the leftovers would be a good place if you're not comfortable with him in the tank.
When he touches an SPS, he'll burn the flesh off of it, not really bleach it. Not sure how long it will take, whether that would be a day or if it would take longer. I'd say if you could move the SPS out of the way that would be the best thing to do until he settles. Otherwise you'll have some...
Billy, The tank looks GREAT! I've never seen coraline grow so tall. You'd hardly know there were nearly 100 people in your house by the time we left. Thanks for having us again. Soo many new faces today. Tried to at least say hello to the folks I didn't know!
Hopefully we'll have the minutes to...
February contest doesn't start for another day or three! Keep your eye out. These get posted on the home page each month after the contest concludes.
Constantine, my apologies for not this not being on the home page yet this month! We'll have it up tonight at the latest.
The efflo has recovered its coloring in all but one small spot that is still holding onto a bit of brown. The green cap is flouresing very nicely under night sea and even under regular lighting is starting to look a hint of green. Because of the angle this cap is on, I don't see the polyps, but...
Just a reminder, if you're bringing children, PLEASE make sure that you bring along their favorite electronic hand held, a book, or some other form of clean, quiet entertainment. With the weather less than stellar, playing outside probably isn't going to be an option and we'll need to keep the...
Ahh. Good thing you didn't go up there for the superbowl. I'm not sure when it started, but it was definitely in full force when the last reeftopia hit. We used that to beef up the supply in there again. Progress is slow recovering it. Makes me want to swap some of that rock with rock from my...
Have you seen tank upstairs? Hopefully you'll have better luck!! Good thing I like the look of the green flowing mass in that tank... I wouldn't be happy with it down here though! Of course higher nutrients also play a part up there. Less rock, less water, agressive feeders, etc.
FWIW, a tank without snails = hair algae factory. JME, though. Certainly seems like an exciting set of inhabitants though! Sorry I can't help you with your original question, but I can't wait to see the stocking unfold!
