    Bought this as a chalice, but I am not sure. What is it?

    Yep, that's a Chalice. Start it out at med. light and see how it goes. You can always move it around if it isn't looking happy.

    What Thermometer do you use and do you really think it's that accurate?

    I think that's his protein skimmer. Must have gotten that from an archeological dig somewhere, looks ancient.

    Mud in refugium?

    I would think that if you turn the pumps off for a few hours it wouldn't be too bad. I'm OK with cleaning it out once a year or so but if it's more than that it may be more than I'm really looking for. Does the sand stay on top of the mud? Does it settle? If it stays on top I could just siphon...

    I'd want a tiger living with me too if I lived in the projects in Brooklyn.....

    Mud in refugium?

    Ayone use any of the "muds" in their fuge? Looks like it would work out well but it's pretty expensive and it seems as though you need to replace it every so often. Was thinking of mixing it with the sand but if it needs to be replaced that wouldn't really work. Anyone?

    What Thermometer do you use and do you really think it's that accurate?

    Just like so many other things, is it a big deal if you think your tank is reading 77° and it's really 80°? If it's constant, what's the problem? Now, if you keep your tank at 81° and it's 84° that could be a problem. If you're corals and fish look happy with what your temp is at, who cares...

    Things you dislike about the hobby?

    Me too. Sure, there are things that I'm not a huge fan of, like water changes, but it's all part of the experience for me. Take the good with the not-so-good. Haven't really experienced most of the things posted but I'm sure I will so my answer is subject to change!

    Considering picking up a 4" cup coral. Any ideas?

    Is there more than one kind of Cup Coral? I thought that it was an NPS.

    NJ man arrested/fined for having 4 tortoises in backyard (one was 320 pounds)

    Doesn't exactly sound like he was taking very good care of them though. Respiratory infections, cracked shells...... I'm sure they're better off now.

    i need feeding advice please

    I'd like to give the KB products a better chance. The ones we got at the meeting didn't fare too well with the trip to Feng's afterward.

    i need feeding advice please

    Which reminds me. I got the Rods fish eggs and my fish go CRAZY for them. They're much bigger than the Nutramar Ova eggs too so my SunCorals love them too. All my corals eat them too. They're nuclear orange but I could care less as long as the fishies like them.

    He got it from Aquaroche. Google them, you'll find 'em!

    i need feeding advice please

    You would be best off with the reef formula for Rods. Most of your fish are small enoughthat they will eat up the bigger pieces. Some of it is even too big for most of my fish.

    Bio-Pellet Survey...

    At first it will just be the rocks and sand but I'm going to have to start moving stuff over eventually. Going to seed the tank with some sand from mine and CJ's tank along with the new stuff. Hopefully that will get the cycle going!

    I am ready for some LPS and possibly SPS. Heres my tank, waddya suggest?

    I would start with something that doesn't have long tentacles. I would avoid things like Frogspawn and Elegance for now. Maybe some Chalices? Candy Canes? Acans are a possibility too. Start cheap, like the $15 at Dr. Mac you mentioned so you don't learn the hard way.
