    WTB Clean up crew

    Reefcleaners.org :) Fast, accurate, things arrive alive. Just make your own crew based on your own calculations, they're pre-made CuCs tend to be a bit heavy.

    Joel's 175 Gallon Re-build

    Good to hear the brace repair is holding. Tank looks good, like the low profile rockwork allowing a bunch of swim room. No considerations of Anthias?

    First saltwater tank

    They'll eat coraline more so than anything else. Initially they're not a problem, but usually if you see one, you have 100 (unless, of course, its a recent hitch hiker). I had a 90g with a ton of them in there for a year with no concerns (aside from coraline being eaten). They never bothered my...

    Memorial Day

    Four years service during first Gulf. Fourteen family members in the Great War. Five in Vietnam - two came home, one of my uncles minus a leg, who took his own life a few years back (he was my influence on who I am today). Every Memorial Day and Armistice Day I gently remind people of the...

    It has begun...

    Last night my son informed me that he needs a 'Cleaner Q'. I asked him what a 'Cleaner Q' was. "You know Dad, snails and shrimps and stuff". As of today 'Red Interested' has a freshwater CuC (or CQ). A tiger nassarius named 'Cleanup 1' and a ghost shrimp named 'Cleanup 2'.

    Starting over

    Same boat last year. Just about gave my entire 90g system away. Good call on the softie move. I've been running skimmer and floss. No dosing, no monitoring, no reactor, no computer. With a 10% change every 2 weeks everything is doing great. Good luck.

    My "Marine Biology" Talk to Three Year Olds

    I'm finding that part hard to believe. Has Lester made it to the plate yet? Tis the natural fate of the NY lobster.

    Going to try and take better pictures

    Been trying to use my phone and my Canon. Unfortunately they are both under 5 years old and are computerized, so I do not have the option of taking a RAW photo. Though there is a set of phone filters that supposedly mimics the effect by filtering out the low end blues... Amazon.com: Zomei iPhone...

    Aquarium Depot (online) (-)

    You get a substantial amount of larger amphipods (and assume some copepods). Problem is they come in filter floss, semi-dirty, so you have to dig a ton of them out. As you're pulling floss apart the things are crawling up your arms and jumping onto the counter. When they do their $19.95 deal or...

    Need Help Identifying

    Blue square makes me think amphipods. Red circle makes me think bristle worms. Anything moving northeast of the arrow probably copepods. imho

    Light Alternatives for 12 gal JBJ Nano Cube

    I had those connect-a-light things, they were good but much more underpowered than I thought. I bought 3 where I probably should have bought 5 or 6. The other concern I had was that mounting was a pia. For my 10g IM I use the stock Skyye light supplemented with this - a Mingdak light. If you...
