Happens to me all the time too, Phil! Probably more often than it happens to YOU! ;D

Very interesting questions. I understand better (knowing that your PH is high) your need for reducing the PH. I'm having the opposite problem (8.05 ph) and would love few things more than having it up around 8.2 for a change! I'd probably be inclined to try it, in your shoes and see what...

I'm not sure you'd get to move each of your feet if you tried sneaking off with my cam (or any of its parts) ;D You lose 2 stops with the TCs from what I understand, but with the Macro lens I'm working on a snails pace anyway with the high F-stop so it really isn't an issue. You need either a...

I have to say that while I wouldn't endorse 95% water changes on an ongoing basis, I've done a few. When I did it, I made no attempt at getting parameters (other than temp) close. To me it is like the occasional purchase/sale of a coral (but even the fish were fine with it). Would I...

The maroon is a 5+" fish. She's just huge. The sexy didn't actually hang out in an anemone. If I recall correctly (this was over a year ago) it hung out in a mushroom or some such. I wouldn't worry about a perc killing them unless it is HUGE (and I've never seen a perc nearly as big as my...

*scratches head* Why do you want to add CO2 to your tank? I do everything in my power to remove CO2 from my tank. What does your PH run at?

LOL at the whale wash in Shark Tales. Too funny. Just referring to the harlequins in terms of keeping them fed. Mine are a tad fussy. They don't touch the several serpent stars that are in the tank and prefer chocolate chip starfish to just about anything else you could throw at them. They do a...

Well... a great camera is a necessity if you're a terrible photographer (raises hand)! How's that?! :)

A couple of shots I took with one of my new camera toys today: These are taken with my 105mm with 2.0 TC.

Take that to a coral ID forum. It won't come back as a BTA, I don't care what those tips look like today! Those circles/dots at the end of the tenticles are not indicitive of a BTA... I'll be happy to eat my words when you get an official ID on it though! ;D Looks good no matter what it is...

I'd like to take this time to thank both of our candidates for running for office. I appreciate your willingness to help the club to keep moving forward. I'd also like to take the time to thank those who voted for our candidates. There were moments that the election could have gone either way...

Absolutely!

This is Marcelo's tank. Then it went to Jay. Now Professor. Cleaner shrimp are cool, but you could also look into hawaiian shrimp or something else with a bit more "cool" factor. Sexy anemone shrimp or harlequins (heavy feeding requirement) are cool too.

Except a bit more "carpet" LIKE (though not really carpety). I've not seen a scoly hanging over like that before. A beauty none the less! Who'd you get it from?

I'm going to preemtively say TREAD LIGHTLY. Please respect each other and do not start with personal attacks. All that much better if you can stick to personal experience rather than generalizations. I've seen some ugly conversations and people being banned left and right from conversations...

Thanks for your thoughts, Joe. Great post. Soooo... do share. Are you a Zeo tank or not?

As far as temps, I think you'll find as many opinions as... ears in the club. On my sps/lps reef I'm more finicky about keeping the temp right at 80. Fans go on if it gets over 80.5, heaters go on below 79.5, blah blah blah. On my softie/mushroom/whatever tank the temps frequently hit 84 and I...

What is that last thing? Your fish must have been on the way out to get caught by it! Really sorry you didn't get to hang with us more (good thing I caught you on your way by or we wouldn't have gotten a chance to say hi at all!) Nice red lobo and that cap really looks like it has great PE...

That's interesting that you saw your corals pastel with use of the Zeo/pro. I saw Nick (NJB...)'s tank and was awestruck by the colors of his tank. Really deep/bright colors. I'd be thrilled with the look if I thought that's all it took. I do think there's an amazing level of husbandry that...

That's great. Do keep us posted with their progress as the new fish settles in.
