Helfrichi firefish is one of our all time favorites. They will jump so make sure you have a covered tank, look for a good healthy one at the store and make sure it is eating. They will be one of the first fish to show signs of ick in a system so it helps if your system is clean. Rock work...

I went right through coral vue. Unfortunately they are made in a way to fit the mazzaras that really is tough to replicate so they kind of have you. Reach out to Chris from Coralvue on here (he is a sponsor) and talk to him, he might be able to help you out.

Nice corals, nice start.

Even with a big tank, we are still small fish people so we decided to change up our stocking plan yet again. We caught and moved out a few fish due to some aggression issues and we added a bunch of new fish. Unfortunately we did lose some fish, but that is the hobby. The current fish list...

I would avoid the chocolate chip star, as you stated they are not reef safe and no one really knows what they eat. They are mainly brought in as food not really as a pet per say.

Here is the link to the bluelines which are really good pumps: http://www.championlighting.com/home.php?cat=1209 Look at the head height on these and the watts, also realize they are 1 inch threaded fittings where the diablos are 1.5 inch which is different. I just recently though of...

Popped in there today and picked up a couple of things, nice sale going on in there.

You will probably lose any invert in the system, including pods mini brittles and all the other fun stuff. You can start pulling now and hopefully get everything out before you dose. At the levels you will need to dose, it will probably kill all the inverts in your system.

If you find interceptor here is your issue: I have known people who dose it in their tank in low doses so keep red bugs away but small enough that it does not effect other inverts. You would need a pretty strong dose to kill a gorilla crab, and that will probably kill your other inverts you...

Yes. The original was called GARFs purple bonsai after the store that brought it in first. It is bright purple with green polyps and really a stunner of a coral. They get the better purple coloration in higher light, they tend to brown out when they are in lower light.

One of the reasons people love this fish is because it is so beautiful and unique. Most deep water fish are kinda bland and are expensive because they are hard to collect. The narcosis angel is going for $10k but is a yellow fish with a black dot. Other fish to look at are the opercularis...

I am not quite sure what I would have to do for Santa to leave that in my stocking lol

Yup good cuc member.

We have a 5g hex tank in Point Pleasant if you need to borrow something in the short term. It has a little trickle filter on the back, and a CF bulb but should get you through a few days. Trop is your best bet for tanks.

If you have every wanted to try SPS this is the piece to start with, great color and easy grower. Great piece and great prices, not surprised with the response.

Look like they hit the US this week. A couple of people on RC were showing the pictures. The reason they are so expensive is they are collected around 400 ft deep, so they are rare in shallow waters, but plentiful in deep waters. Rufus and his team have been trying for years to get a big...

Felt generally has smaller holes so it will keep your water cleaner, the problem with that is that they gunk of quicker which means they need to be cleaned and swapped more often. There are proponents of both but mesh seem to be more popular.

Of course they are, they are in this hobby lol.

+1 to what downbeach said, also depends on what temp you want your tank to be. Our system is probably rougly 350 g. We have 3 300 watt heaters (one in the frag tank and two in the sump) which keep the tank around 75 which is where we want it.

Laziness breeds innovation lol. I would not risk it as cycling rock is not that difficult and who knows what sort of residues it might leave on the rock or on the flipside the damage it could do to your dishwasher.
