Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Yeah we already joked when we got it in the house we would take pictures of Nikki inside of it. Will have much more detailed thread up in tale of the tank when we actually get this things rolling. As it stands now we are probably looking at mid July between getting the tank and getting the...
Remember that corals extend their feeding tentacles at night, we artificially coax them out during the day. If the colors and growth are good I would not be too worried. If you want to try chemically coaxing them out I would look for some amino acids (Elos, aquavitro fuel, zeo) or pohls extra...
They do better in a harem of at least three.
I love this fish, they are putting together some dives right now to try and get some more. Over on Reef central in the reef fishes forum there is a guy Rufus (think he goes by freediver) that is trying to collect some more. He got a juvi on his...
Thanks everyone. Yes we are going with Ethan from AO to design and plumb it. We just wanted to ask to see if there was anything we are missing. We have a good amount of room to work with so we are going to use all of the room. We have a generator that we have owned since 2009 when we lost...
We have a nice little thread going over here:

Discussing this very issue. I got the new carbon block from BRS just to be safe.
We shimmed our 45g in the last apartment and it was still a little off and it ran like that for a while. However, that was 45g vs 210g of weight on the glass. If you shim correctly the point is to have no high points so the pressure around the rim is equal and is resting on the bottom of the...
Running a fan over the water surface is a quick and easy way to drop the temp a few degrees and keep it there. Just be carefull as this also accelerates evaporation which could raise your salinity. The sun hitting the tank could also be a factor so shading it would help. As the others have...
Looking to frame out a fish room, add a slop sink and of course run some electricity. Obviously will pay for it, shoot me a pm if you do that sort of work. Tank is probably not going to be in for a few months so we have time.
So took my first trip up there and the store is very nice, can't wait to see it all stocked up. Saw some of the nice fish they were bringing in and there is going to be some top shelf stuff there. I have some pics I took, I will post later.
I would be more worried about what the nem could eat depending on what type it is and how big. The type of fish that eat nems would not really fit in any hobbyists aquarium.
+1 with the rockwork, you will have some great coral areas.
You have many options with fish that will leave your clown alone and your clown will leave alone.
1. Get another clown to pair it up with. They are much cooler in pairs and can actually be pretty easy to pair up
2. Gobies, you have...
I am not sure what you should put in first, but I know the tangs should go in last. The general consensus is peaceful fish first, followed by the more aggressive. This way the peaceful fish have time to stake a claim and find hiding spots. If the aggressive fish are in first they will declare...
