On another board I saw a guy who made his own fake "urchin" to give the fish something to hid in. Basically a small epoxy mound stabbed with lots of cable ties. Something to think about rather than having to deal with a live urchin.

this is awesome - thanks for sharing bill. I assume when we talk about using GAC - it's thru a media reactor versus just a bag in the sump?

Wow - those are really in demand! Good for you...those are from ORA right?

MOFIB had a nano of them...I thought that's where you got yours from. They had them with a pair of neon gobies and 3 tank-bred baby sea urchins.

his company is Reef Nutrition. Might have heard of them... :D EDIT: Correction - the parent company name is Reed Mariculture - but the brand name I associate Randy Reed is Reef Nutrition.

Don't even mention it. It was a nice change of pace for my wife. btw you have a pm. Sweet - you'll have to post a pic!

Scored a clam from uniquecorals: But more importantly - I scored some free Rotifer samples thanks to MOFIB. Now to wait for the clowns to lay eggs again.

i'll be at macna saturday. Probably working registration or something saturday afternoon. See you!

congrats!! When I'm at macna i'm going to check out the reef nutrition table and look for that rotifer culture you talked about. I lost the last batch (3rd) of eggs because I knew I wouldn't have time to track them. ps. are you feeding your maroons anything special? My percs are spawning with...

100% agree with Nick. Sometimes they get nicked (no pun intended) by coral or some sharp LR. it should heal fast enough.

i think given the fact that so many stores frag and sell them to each other - we're lucky it's just valonia/bubble algae. the store on route 22 has got a ton of it in some of their frag tanks. I introduced it from a different seller who at the time was giving away the coral. I should've known...

i use two of them. You can order them from amazon.com. I got mine from a local DJ supplier in Long Island (i had a coupon). http://www.idjnow.com/ This is the type I got:

congratulations on being a father again! I wish my wife gave me a RSM250 when I had kids...lol. ;) see you in AC!

they are a real nuisance. Not so much that they aren't reef safe - it's just that they can proliferate if you tend to feed heavy or skim light. if you find something that works - please post back. I'd be interested. signed (tired of scraping them off with pliers/scrappers/screw drivers) (and...

fake....it was posted here previously. It's an ad for Microsoft Project. Talk about a viral commercial. Still given all the crazy people I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the darwin awards go to someone who tried this at home.

joltin joe has left and gone away...hey hey hey. that is a really cool pond. How long did it take to put that all together? Seems like a lot of care/maintenance.

that is really cute. Surprised they don't mow down your zucchini.

My favorite article on the cuke nuke legend. Not to say it has not happened - but it's like saying all bristle worms eat coral. Yes there is a fire worm that does it. But is it all over? Hardly. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/jan2003/invert.htm

not saying this is the same issue - but my caps were dull until I started measuring Mag and dosing. Just a thought.

A firefish is a nice peaceful fish. A helfrichi firefish is a gorgeous but $$$ peaceful fish. I'm not familiar with the 3 gobies but if I recall - they are really small and the inclusion of the larger fish (first) may result in the larger fish identifying the gobies as meals. So definitely...
