What an amazing past couple of days. One of the clowns finally found the anemone after 3 months and now, the cucumber that has been MIA since the swap shows up. I was convinced that this little bugger was DOA…been looking and looking and looking. Tonight I go in to check the tank before going...

Hey, that's what I was going to say. LMAO ;D ;D ;D

Reverse Osmosis….it’s a water purifier. Here's a pic of my RO unit:

Sur4, here’s my two cents: I’m not crazy about two tanks for you sump/refugium.  The U siphon will be a problem***.  If you insist on two tanks, I’d pop a bulkhead in each one and tie them together that way.  This way you minimize the likelihood of loss of flow between the two tanks.  Again, my...

No Fish!  Your tank has not cycled.  Wait.  If you get live rock, put that in...it will be part of the cycle. Buy a test kit...that's your next step.

You lucky dog.  You obviously have a good looking women on your hands.  Now mine...that's another story...and maybe a different species all together (She doesn't read the forums). ;D

LMAO….ooooh like this is going to make it crystal clear! With this knowledge, I’ll start building my own computer tomorrow. I did learn a new word….astable. Now with my limited mentality, I’m trying to think of a Jeff Foxworthy definition of astable. With the highest level of respect, you...

Wooo Hooo! Where do I go to claim my prize. Hope it’s not a 1993 GEO Metro! I already have one.

In all honesty, the picture quality is limiting. Can’t really see the detail to id the coral Here are my off-the-wall guesses from a limited quality picture in order of most likely to least likely: 1. The dead skeleton of some sps. 2. Some white branching sps. 3. If I see purple/blue on the...

Diverrk, I say this with great ignorance...it is what I’ve read, because I know nothing first hand! Pluck an asterina and hand feed your new Harlequin so that it knows it is food. The Harlequin now has the taste for asterina (they say it tastes like chicken ;D), and will continue to eat it...

As a newbie, it seems like every week it is something else. I’ve got a brown/black growth that has just shown up in my 4-5 month old tank. At first I thought it was a diatom problem that I understand is typical to newbie tanks. But it did more than just produce that typical brown covering on...

See what happens when the executive board and moderators spend five or six hours drinking Yuengling at a holiday party...no one minding the store....wish I was there.

Dave, you really shouldn't hi-jack someones thread...but to quickly help you out, that is Eeyore, typically found with his friends in the 100 Acre Woods. ;D

Come on qwik, we know why...Hirobo’s “Ouick ID” responses scared you? :o

Hawk, I don't have a reference...this is what was explained to me...the white / tan asterina are herbivores....keep them, they'll eat algae.  There are other genis of asterina that have been know to enjoy some of the sps in particular, but they are solid colored or multicolored genis of...

NO! NO! NO! He's talking about all those little blue/purple dots. I'm going to out on a limb and guess that that's coralline algae...the purple varity. I think I also see a few asterina stars there as well. Do I win a prize?

That is an Asterina star. They are herbivores (eat plants). Some consider them a nuisance. I have them, and if I see too many, pluck them out and put them in the refugium. My understanding with harlequin shrimp is that it is hit-or-miss if they have an interest in chowing down on asterina. Some...

This might be a bit more of a personal thing…and probably for 99% of you, rather ho-hum…one of my clowns, dad, has finally found the RBTA anemone tonight.  I just took this picture in the dark…with flash (please phyl, be kind…it’s a point and shoot). This has taken about three months for dad...

Yes!  For a couple of bucks. To use this cutter, use a straight edge and first lubricate the glass.  I use kerosene as a lubricant, but other light oils would work as well.  Draw the cutter once along the straight edge, scoring the glass.  Now, hang the glass over the table and give it a...

You can not cut tempered glass! The question is, how do you know if it’s tempered? I found this article because of a long-term project to drill a custom made tank made by someone else, and not knowing if it’s tempered. I haven’t tried this yet because I don’t have anything that is polarized...
