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.
Hey we are in the same boat then almost exactly. :) I didn't put any snails in but I threw one hitchiker crab and some good live rock for pods and whatnot. Also have some small brittle stars. I thought about adding some mangroves too let me know if you do.

Hey fish looks good ...but panmanmatt is 100% right the starfish is not reef safe....try to take it back and get a serpent starfish or pay a little more and get a blue linka. Those are considered reef safe. I have a serpent starfish from a recent group buy and I have to say it is really...
Thanks for the explanation I understand now. I want to try some similar fix for mine.
I am sure I will have plenty of cheato for you when the time comes I guess the light I am using is the right one it is growing like mad.
I have an Atlantic pygmy angel and have had no problems. I wouldn't call him meek but not aggressive either. Holds his own against my bicolor pseudocromis but doesn't bother a firefish.
Well I have had great results so far with it.
Here is my fuge before water.
As you can see I have about 15-20lbs of mud I got it from Orca Systems with the refugium.

On top of the mud I added some live sand from my old system and then rubble on top of that. I have...
How did you restrict it with a ball valve?
When will you need the cheato? I have a ton to give you, but if you don't need it now I will see if anyone needs it.
I would be really happy if I could get pics as good as the second two.
What do you feed your Starry Blenny anything specifically? My two tangs and he were all eating mysis shrimp which I found a bit odd.
I am sorry I missed you at AO..we needed name tags. Sorry for your losses for sure. Any thoughts I even had of putting my new fish directly into my tank ended immediately so I guess I am still learning stuff from you(though I did put my fish from my old tank directly into my new tank).
I can save you a couple bucks and give you shells like you have never seen before ;D. I have been collecting shells for oh 32 years. I don't have all of the ones I have ever collected but should be enough for a few hermits.
Looks like you made some good progress. Just want to point out that you need to make sure you have an opening for your lines since your tank is pre drilled.....and if you decide to put doors/sides on it you need to be able to put whatever you are using for a sump into the bottom part of the...
I was reading with you about ich. I did read that you don't have to worry about cleaner shrimp getting ich so maybe adding another would be an option. Your tank should be big enough to handle two no? Thanks for the links. I hope everything gets better. I feel bad about your problem. :'(
I have heard of being patience Phil but you might be falling into procrastination at this point. ;)
BTW after doing some Zen communication at AO with some fish I went home and painted. 8)
