i was concerned about a flood also - but my sump is setup in an area where there is a french drain surrounding the entire area (laundry area). So I just placed thick styro underneath to deal with the vibration. Overall the tarpon is pretty quiet though - just huge.

i took a stab at the fish area - the way I designed it would allow us to get snapshot of what types of fish njrc members have and which are popular. Perhaps in the comments field we could talk about fish to avoid? I don't know i was just playing around with it. what do you think?

If you post a password and don't want the whole world to see it -then maybe post it in the members-only forum. Tank ID could be a formula of the cell above it plus 1. Maybe want to include a location - like North/south/central? Or even a city?

we have this: POST your MUGSHOTS! - it's embedded inside this sticky: Welcome to New Jersey Reefers Club! READ ME FIRST! Maybe it needs to come back out as it's own sticky? The concern we has was that we had a lot of stickies and trying to organize them all.

Generally speaking my answer here is the best skimmer you can afford. Specifically for you - you could consider the usage of a Phosban Reactor and/or the addition of Cheato macro algae - if you have enough sections in the sump. Tough answer - but generally speaking you will need to go out...

Nice - bob looks happy with bob...LOL.

stunning as always...it's always nice to be able to gaze at your tank and have something to shoot/aim for with my own.

I'd do it in a heartbeat! Obviously I'd take appropriate precautions but everyone knows your tank is fantastic (little tiny buggers notwithstanding). Anyways - sorry to hear about all the work you've had to put into the tank (vs just enjoying it). I'm glad to hear it's under control and I look...

I know it's hard to believe but since I put the skimmer on - the tank water appears clearer...surprised that happened so fast.

i could lend you my laMotte test kit if you want. I really like it. I'm in metuchen. Maybe I'm just not a chemist but following the salifert alk test kit gives me a headache. send me a pm if you're in this neck of the woods for work or whatever. or i guess if it can wait until the next meeting...

i would try and stabilize the tank - do not add anymore livestock. See if you can get the skimmer working, do a massive water change, then move on. As the tank stabilizes again - perhaps it's just for the best to keep only what you already have in there.

put the asterina starfish back in! :P

what are the water parameters? it almost sounds like your tank crashed - you list sps you list an anemone (a hardy one at that) you list sps you list zoas you listed a fish Go back to the smaller tank- those were the good days!

i would think any old clip on fan would work. Just swing by one of the big box stores like wal-mart, target, S-mart (oh wait that last one is from a movie - never mind). if you want to go all high-end - you could look into the variable speed ice-cap fans.

Thanks much to david (malulu) and family for hosting all the folks at your home. My kids appreciated the room and older "sitters" too. Your tank is beautiful and my wife couldn't stop talking about the maxima clam and those quirky eels in the sand. Also my first time in the raffle and I won a...

I would say that in the wild tangs roam so far and so fast that it would take a really beaten down fish (while resting) to be infected. In our tanks - they have no place to go (and a closed system)- and ich can multiple very quickly - making tangs appear to be more susceptible. Hippos do seem...

The pic is just terrible...it's a wonder how people take care of fish like this! http://cnj.craigslist.org/pet/1135536974.html It looks like someone took the fish out, cut off the dorsal fin, and threw the poor thing back in.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccccee! hook it up and let us know how it runs? what's the foot print of that beauty?

I did what JRWOHLER suggested - a regular old light bulb. Now my chaeto is finally starting to look much better. 'course I've got tons of trates! :P
