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.
I still think it’s a crapshoot. I use to have two yellows (for three years) and all of a sudden they started going at it….to the point that I got rid of one yellow. I just have to keep an eye on them, especially as the Scopas grows larger than the yellow.
Sunny, I'm also going to assume you "white balance" the camera as well?? I know I need to do that with 20K units I have, or the color is waaaaaayyy off.

My son is visiting from Rhode Island, and brought down a Scopas tang he no longer wants and dropped it in my tank. I already have a yellow, and I’m a bit concerned about...
Actually 8.6 is hard to believe as well. I would see if a member lives close by who could verify…or take a water sample to your LFS.
If it is that high, HERE is a nice read from Dr. Farley.
Cnideria is the phylum that fire coral fall into. It would be like saying we (man....Homo sapiens) are chordata. If you search chordata, you will get every animal that has a spine. You would be better off searching fire coral.
Brandon, thanks for sharing. Is that your golden?
Retrievers are the best breed with kids. This video reminds me of when my three kids were small and we would visit my brother-in-law, who had a black and chocolate retriever. My kids would persecute those poor dogs….jumping on them, riding...
Mark, are you waiting for that Atmann 2500 pump to arrive in the mail? If that’s the case, I have a spanking brand new Atmann in the box that you could have now, and when your new pump arrives, you just give me that one. Would that work?
I had to chuckle….after seeing your tanks a few times, I believe the list of corals you don’t like would be considerably shorter then the list of corals you like. Your tanks are packed to the gills with every coral known to man! :grin:
Oh, and those scolys look fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to hear about this.
Who did you leave at home?
Round up the usual suspects and look for clues. In you case, floating soggy Cheerios or a pacifier bobbing in the tank.
I agree with Sunny….if you’ve got money to piss away on over-priced PH, then go with the vortechs. Otherwise, you’ve got a FOWL…..go with cheaper PH’s!
Mark, I have the SWC 160 which also uses the Atmann 2500. I had a similar problem in that after a few minutes the pump would stall…..still spinning, but putting out very few bubbles. I played with nylon washers (found at HD) and if I put three washers on the mesh wheel side, the pump ran...
I have run both internal and external skimmers. With both types I’ve also used a collection container that sits in a cut down salt bucket that has a float switch that will turn off the skimmer pump if the collection container overflows.
Great stuff Ed. I know first hand that giving back makes you feel a whole bunch better. I’m familiar with the Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia, close to Children’s Hospital. I think this might have been the first one started. Great organization.
Now as far as the handbag for you...
