    40g mixed reef

    I think is time for that 80. Corals look great.

    Planning new build, input appreciated

    Just make sure the 80g is drillable and not all tempered glass. I know some other have run into the fact with deep blue tanks (though not in this size). I have the rimless tank and love it, so it is a very good choice. The overflow is not huge, but I understand in a penninsula style layout...

    Who Am I

    I am 24601 butt hat is besides the point. I believe the black and white is a false perc. The way to tell is by counting the dorsal spikes. http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/anemoneclownfishprofiles/ss/sbstruevsfalseperc_2.htm

    Classklown's 40B SPS Paradise

    Nice write up, so if I am reading this correctly, 10mls per week is the dosage? It is very hard to have a true scientific comparison whenever you are dealing with live animals, so we get as close as we can. Have you kept an eye on growth in the time period and how is compares to other times?

    Classklown's 40B SPS Paradise

    Anything with aminos and other stuff is going to have some nutrients. Thank you for writing this, I know Trop is getting some in and I will be picking up a bottle. I may have missed it, but how much are you dosing and what intervals are you dosing it at?

    I just got home a little while ago after a 2 hour commute home. Parkway is basically 10mph the whole way down.

    Help crash

    That is going to be tough in the middle of a snow storm. Do you have any extra water you can mix? If you can run to the supermarket and buy some distilled you can mix that into some salt real quick. We crashed our tanks in the middle of a snow storm due to a power outage so I feel your pain.

    What's te most water you have spilled & what caused it?

    I have my ATO setup like this: RODI to a 65g tank which has a shutoff. I then plug in a pump to move water into a 20g tank that is actually connected to the ATO. I know some people like to do this all in one but I find having a human point in there is good. However sometimes I plug in the...

    They are closing my office at 1 today, it is coming down pretty heavy here in Red Bank.

    Dusky jawfish

    We just bought a larval trap not to long ago, which is probably the best way to get the larvae. Most larvae hatch well after the lights are out in your tank, so it is going to be very difficult for you to try and catch them with a turkey baster. As other have said above, tiny larvae need tiny...

    NERAC at Long Island Aquarium

    I would go, but we are going to be going on vacation that day. It takes place at the Atlantis Aquarium so you have dinner and cocktails next to the 20k gallon tank. Good speakers also make this one fun.

    First shot at reefing in JBJ Nano 12

    I first setup my JBJ 12 in Nov 2008 and still have one (just a different tank, we went with the leds). My first piece of advice is to get the media basket: http://shop.mediabaskets.com/ Run it with chemipure elite and filter floss on top. Weekly water changes and removing the filter floss...

    Dusky jawfish

    Depends on if the male gets hungry. The issue with mouth brooders is that sometimes they will just swallow the whole clutch. Barring that, you probably have a really good chance of them hatching, collection and raising them is a whole different thing.

    January 2014 Meeting

    Thank you John, it was a fun little group we had. We would have loved to stay longer but duty calls. It was great to see some people again and as always talk shop.

    My first build thread (29g Biocube)

    If it does not get better, you can pull the blenny and put him in the acclimation box for a day or two which might break the territorial response.

    My first build thread (29g Biocube)

    I know the feeling, it will subside (and so will the nipping). When we added the hawenisis, the big borb was chasing them for a few days and it sent my stomach into my throat, but it passed and now they are all good. As long as the basslet eats and is not pinned into rock work, a little...
