Those aipstia zappers are excellent at getting mushrooms off of rocks. See if you can borrow one, they are expensive and they actually do not help with aipstia.

We were doing some dips on corals and this nasty little bugger came out. Glad we got him:

Those are some nice SPS frags, tank looks great.

+1 to above. They will eat aptasia but generlly if there is no other food and the aptasia are small. Every now and again a rogue peppermint might pick on some LPS but that is very few an far between.

I don't know if it is really a preference, or more just necessity due to size restraints. The majority of people are under stand which limits your available space which means a lot of people go in sump. I have had both and I like the external a lot better because it is easier to dial in and...

I would not risk it. You can try with a HOB, but ou will need to stay on top of WC. A better bet is a HOB skimmer.

Yes kids are welcome.

Greeting all!!! We are excited to once again open our home to fellow reefers out there for a monthly gathering of NJRC people. Let's go over the nitty gritty: Who: Us and hopefully you What: NJRC monthly meeting When: November 23rd (the weekend before Thanksgiving) 1-5 pm Where: Our place...

It might be a drive for you, but my system is plumbed to the basement here in Point Pleasant and you are more than welcome to see it. Ethan from AO did the plumbing and used the flex pvc. It makes life 100 times easier with plumbing, and I believe he ordered it online. Since you are going...

Rosefasiciata, lineatus, and Pylie in order of aggression. We took the rhomboid out but he had already been killed by the lineatus.

Hoping for a speedy and full recovery for Doug. Good to hear from you Erna, thank you for the update.

Just about any rock can be used as live rock however some rocks are considered better. The more surface area, the more beneficial bacteria you have, so you want open, pourous rock. This is why the old pound per gallon rule went by the wayside, older rock used to be essentially solid base rock...

Under the rocks is where a lot of stuff can accumulate, so if you are going to be moving some rocks out, go for it. Again, slow and careful and only do a portion at a time followed by a water change.

We had the same tank and it is a nice one. Very good call with going with your own stand, as the stock one was junk. Our 57g build thread should only be a few pages back in the talk of the tank forum. We ran it with one mp40 and it was fine, two will give you more than enough flow and you...

Cleaning the sand bed is an important part of maintanence and you should do it. Don't do the whole sandbed at once, just do pieces of it say like 10-20% at a time and then do a water change right after. This way you are not stirring up too much stuff and doing the water change will help. Keep...

The giant are 2-6 and two games out of first place which is just pathetic. However, I will take it going into the bye week. Seems like a lot of people in the NFC east are hoping for a draft pick. This is a great year for QBs in the draft as well.

Equal opportunity hating (only because the Giants actually won when the rest of the NFC east lost, does not happen often)

The planets aligned, the pipefish was out yesterday morning and I had my camera handy and was able to snap off a few pics. You will note that the lights are off and I needed to use a flash so the pics look a lot different than normal.

I know Drs. Foster and Smith for salt can be unbeatable for IO shipped. Marine Depot is obviously the big boy for online stuff, and also check amazon, a lot more marine stuff up there now then there used to be.
