AO is Aquatic Obsessions which you will find down in the sponsors area. They will post their new arrivals on a weekly or so basis. The trip is about 45 mins each way (exit 127 off the parkway). We only do that maybe every other month if they have something we want. Nice frag tank too and good...

Very nice, what sort of equipment are you running?

ORA is the largest fish breeder in the country. Gold assesor basslets wild caught go for 100-150$, ORA fish will be around 50$. I live in Brielle and also go to Trop for most things but started to go to Reef to Reptiles more and more. Just stay on 35 north you will pass trop on your left and you...

Congrats, I have never won an auction (have tried) I hear they ship their coral pieces like human organs. You should be fine.

Since I know you just sold an angel and a clown I will not recommend them. If you are looking for peaceful I have to agree with qwick, get a bunch of gobies. If your tank is covered, you can look at firefish. My bangaii cardinals are as peaceful as it gets. My gold assesor basslets are peaceful...

As long as you have hermits they will kill snails. I have it happen in my 12g and don't take them out. Erring on the side of caution is a good thing, but you should be fine. The only thing you can do is add some empty shells to keep them away from your snails.

Forgot to add, you may want to look into a HOB refugium (CPR makes good ones). While there is a sort of split consensus on these (some people think they are algae factories, other have no algae), if you are going sumpless they help. We have one on our thirty and one on our twenty (and will have...

Good Luck with the tank, I have heard 40 breeders are great tanks. Also have to commend you for having a plan before you start, always easier that way. A few comments: Lighting: That will be fine, how far off the tank are you going to hang it? Filtration: Don't know anything about that protein...

Unless you have a bad case of bubble algae I would not recommend the emerald crab. I have had nothing but problems with them and I have also read of other people on here having big problems. It would be a shame to add one when it really won't solve any problems for you and might create some.

Thanks Rod. We will all have to get together at some point and I am always up for a beer. I am sure you were not the only one trying to steal that tank from us. It is even more impressive in person.

Well here are some pics for you zoa lovers out there. Greg here are your frags: Our Nuclear greens, purple deaths, keds reds, and Captain America Palys: Our little frag rack with purple hornets and Wow palys from wobbegong: Here is what the nuclear greens and purple deaths looked like...

We recently bought a piece of live rock because it had some feather dusters on it and put it in the 20g. That night when the actinics went on we saw Christmas tree worms sticking out on the other side. We have since put them up top to see them better. Pic: Wanted to show some of the growth...

We mainly feed rods reef and PE mysis to our angels. We will toss in a nori sheet every now and again because they do like some greens. We had a pygmy for a while and they are great fish (got sucked into a powerhead after getting stung my an anem, we were pissed). The tricky thing with angels...

It lasts a while in the freezer. Since we only have nanos we don't go through a lot and packs last us a few months (expect when I leave it out on the counter overnight).

You might want to pick another angel or you are going to have to wait awhile to get a potters angel. Just from some quick reading (I have never kept one) they are considered expert only and need a well established system to graze on. Tank size recommendations range from 30 to 75 gallons. If you...

I agree with Phyl with the nori clip, our angles eat that. We had a coral beauty for a while and fed it Rods Food and mysis. It just might not be weened onto frozen food yet and you might have to try some live food (again in agreement with Phyl). If the fish is swimming and active and picking at...

They are all doing great, opening right on up. Did the other two frags you have survive?

That is really really cool. I love the rimless look, hence my new tank purchase.

If you can remove the frag plugs and rock, pull them out and scrub them with a toothbrush in a container of water. This will cover the symptom but will not cure your problems. Hair algae will stick around if you have high levels of nitrates and/or phosphates. Old PC bulbs shift to a redder...

They might also get an appetite for small gobies as well. We have a long nosed hawk right now that sometimes bothers our shrimp but the shrimp are all bigger than him. I hope he doesn't get too big.
