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.
Keep an eye on him, do a water change and add some carbon which will help with your water quality. We had an anem walk around our 20g and settle on a heater which nuked it. I know the feeling. I know in this hobby I have yelled stupid fish/anem many a times at the tanks and for some reason they...
For PC bulbs it is really better to have the fan running when either bulb is on. I don't think you will have enough light for an anem with simple PC bulbs. Did you pull everything out of the back of the chambers? Those bio balls and ceramic things are worthless and become detritus traps which...
Read about this on another site. Apperently you upload all your tank info and it helps keep track of your tank and keep it healthy. You can even input into a controller. I am sure some of you reef geeks will enjoy this.

Damsels used to be the way to cycle the tank because of how hardy they were. They were one of the few fish that could survive a cycle and if not they were a cheap fish. Now you don't need damsels to cycle and if you keep them they can be aggressive little guys.
Just do some research on the...
Sorry I did not get back to you, www.tropiquarium.com is there website for address directions. BTAs where I think 60 but they have a 25% off sale on all livestock, corals and live rock. They have really nice stuff in right now, don't know if sale is going on might be worth a phone call and a...
I guess you can say I use a modified two part with brightwell elemental and brightwell alk 9.3. They were recommended to me by a fellow reefer who had amazing growth. So far so good, and we have some good growth in our sps and some color has come back to other frags. The good thing about...
Don't know where you are located but Tropiquarium had beautiful GBTA in this week. I was this close to pulling mine out and buying a new one. They had some nice striped ones with pink tips and ones that look paint splattered.
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...
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...
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...
