I just brought home some fish and did a float for temp. I can't locate my drip lines, so I am using a turkey baster to slowly transfer the water. That's neither here nor there. After pulling some of the water out of the bag, I decided to test it for salinity, just for kicks. It was between...

Admitedly, I saw this place in the phone book while at work looking for something else. Anyone have any info on it? It's only about 30 minutes from where I work, but if it isn't worth the trip, I'll skip it.

Many of you may have read this post: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=5158.0 in which I described, and captured in photo, a recent pest crab discovery. My family "affectionately" named him "The Midnight Marauder". I have tracked the introduction of...

Hey all: I have a panworld 250 pump. Apparently, in its previous application, a small piece of braided rubber hose was "sucked" into the pump, jammed into the impeller, and caused the shaft to snap. The pump runs great. In fact, if you button everything back up, the motor WILL turn the...

Ready? I found the "midnight marauder". This thing is the size of a silver dollar, not counting his gi-normous claws and hairy legs. Let's play.... WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!

Sorry guys and gals, I have been gone for quite some time. Long story. Suffice it to say that medical issues coupled with immediate family and extended family issues as well as some financial issues plus work had me pretty darn tied up. I'm hoping to start getting back in a bit. I still have...

I know, someone is gonna set off the alert and call out the tang police, but I couldn't help myself. I added a clown tang today: (sorry for the picture quality, that little bugger is TOUGH to get to pose, especially with this crappy point and shoot!)...

Anyone have luck keeping multiple Royal Grammas? I've been doing some reading, and apparently if you can come across one larger fish and 2 or 3 smaller juveniles, you have a good chance of developing a mated pair that will build nests and spawn in captivity. Any thoughts? Tank Info: 90 gallon...

Frags are sweet, mounted and in the tank. Great guy to deal with! Got to see the Solaris in person. Thanks for showing that to me, that thing is VERY cool. Although, as I mentioned in my other post, I accidentally ended up with 6 frags! LOL! 3 tiny branches snapped off the larger of the frags...

Ok, so I bought them an anemone a few weeks ago. At first, they ignored it. But, when I moved them to the temp tank for the move, they hosted immediately. When I moved them to the new 90 gallon, the stupid anemone crawled all the way across the tank around the rocks and wedged itself in the back...

For those who haven't seen the post, I've got my 90 up and running. This required moving everything from my 55 to my new 90, including the powerheads. There has been some question as to whether the new Hydor Koralia pumps could hold up to the Tunze nano-streams at less than half the cost. The...

Got it home in one piece (thanks Francis!) Got the old tank taken down, and everyone is swimming happily in the 30 gallon temporary tank. Working on getting the new tank in place now. I'll take some pics shortly! ;D

Ok, so I should have a 90 gallon coming soon, and I'm looking for some stocking advice. Right now, I have: 2 Tomato Clowns (about 1 1/2 to 2" each) 1 bi-color angel (about 2 1/2 to 3") 1 scopas tang (about 3 to 4" across) 1 as-yet unidentified wrasse (currently in isolation for a jumping...

Anybody use these? I've seen alot of posts etc. about these things as power centers under tanks. Anyone have any personal experience with them? And are they really any different than the ones you can get for computer equipment? (other than the rack mountability?) I'm looking for a simple...

So, I have this bi-color angel that is awesome. He has been the model citizen, and has not once picked on a zoa or shroom. When I got him, they told me he was eating the same mysid and formula b frozen that his tank mates were eating. Well, he isn't. He grazes all day long, but so does my...

Wasn't sure where to post this, and I know alot of you have dogs and cats as well as reefs. Menu foods has issued a massive recall on wet (can and pouch) dog and cat food produced in their mid-west facility and canadian facility between December 06 and March 07. It affects ALOT of popular...

I was going to let this go, mods and officers, pleaes forgive me and feel free to take any action you deem necessary, but I feel it needs to be addressed. Carlo, don't take it personally. I'm sure everyone, including myself, appreciates your valuable input from years of experience. Truly...

I just got this, and I was trying to figure out just exactly what it was. I know acropora, but beyond that, I can't for the life of me figure out which one. The pics are kinda rough. This was taken about 20 minutes after it was in my tank. It seems to be doing well. It's kind of a lavender...

I'm going to be putting 2x 250watt SE MH on my new 90. I'm using the icecap ballasts. Any bulb choice preferences? I like the white/blue color combination, but would like to see coral growth as well. (I know, asking for the world, aint I!) I don't want the yellower tint if it can be avoided...

that Wrasses are pretty to look at as long as you CAN KEEP THEM IN THEIR *explitive deleted* GLASS BOX! AAARG! So, I turn off the pumps as usual today to feed and while I am getting the turkey baster ready to start putting the food into the tank I hear "sploosh" "flop" "flop" and look up in...
