What settings are you guys using on lighting and camera to get these shots?

Thanks. Was interesting and fun putting it together as was so out of the ordinary, as I’m sure you know. Here’s the other side… Your’s looks fantastic as well. Love this creative sculpture thing as opposed to previously just stacking rocks.

Get a thin liquid cyanoacrylic superglue from Amazon (stuff is like water). Break up some rock into fine/superfine sand/dust with a hammer. Place scaping rocks where you want em, find a gap, fill with a bit of the fine/dust rock. Squeeze a bit of the liquid superglue on it. It’ll steam, stink...

Looks good. Have similar but I added small flat ‘platforms’ throughout mine. That way I can mount SPS easily in their own little areas, and if I ever have to pull them in a few cases I can just break off the platform. Might be a consideration. Turned my whites up and blues down for a pic…

Nope, never messed with corals. Only invert I had problems with was a skunk cleaner years back. He'd go after my torches like Edward Scissorhands.

Well, talked to Floridapets. It's an isopod. Never saw one this big (but, then again the amphipods were quite large). I put it in the tank by picking it up between my thumb and fore finger while it was wriggling. Also, Floridapets is very communicative and friendly, and are shipping out a new...

I've had a coral banded with a fire with no concerns. Odd that you keep losing them. I've had one in a 30g for about 2 years at this point. They're pretty straightforward, just give them the required peanut butter sandwich once a week and they last ages.

Ordered a small order of pods through e-bay from 'floridapets'. Packed well (paper over the plastic, thermal bag, styrofoam lining, outer box). With the cold, delayed delivery, and, unfortunately, no heat pack in the packaging, things didn't fare well. Floated the pack for 2 hours and I did see...

Heya H, hope alls well, think I still have pics on my phone from your last party. Club has been through some ups and downs, as always, and there’s still a few of the old crew floating and lurking (Mike mnat, Paul RFBF, Bob radiata, Mark V, and a few more). Hope retirement is treating you well...

Told you guys someone would catch you.

Heya Alturrick! Welcome aboard. I'm the good looking, witty one of the group.

Cool read. I've always loved this... https://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp 'It is Genghis Khan bathed in sherbet ice cream'

Went with the Blue/UV. Thanks again for the heads up!

Thanks for the heads up. Here's a question for the masses before I hit the purchase button. I'm running 2 G6 Radions, which, obviously, have some UV. But, I want a bit more pop, especially at night as the rations die down. Should I go Ice Blue or Blue UV?

They said I was mad! So, in adding a few new sps to the system I, probably much to Bot’s happiness, decided to check parameters on one of the tanks and start to get serious about things. Tank hasn’t been tested in months. Dosing has been - ‘I don’t think I’ve done anything to the tank in...

Thanks Mark! I’m going to be looking for a few colony pieces for a new tank in a week or two, will give you a call.

Welcome aboard! The diatoms thing is the norm. It’ll look terrible for a couple weeks. Use a turkey baster to blow off the rocks and change out your filter material often. I re-scaped a tank about 8 weeks back and I’m just getting out of ugly phase now.

Thanks all. Bit weird. I’m usually the type that gets sick, mildly, for a day or two at most. This is my second time with Covid. Last time I had sniffles for a couple days and was done, while Carla was practically comatose for over a week. This time its opposite. Carla was over it in 2 days...

Picked it up last Wednesday and every morning its felt as if a truck was dragging me 10 miles to start my day. Finally feeling somewhat human again today. Sorry for delayed replies to mails and such, I’ve been mostly dead all week.
