    I've not seen this before...

    If you happen to live in a castle, have a metal slab capable of being levered to the roof, a few lighting rods, and a misshapen manservant, it could make for an interesting weekend. Oh, and Boyd makes Chemi-pure, was thinking about picking some up myself in case of emergencies.

    Rob's time for an upgrade 180

    Two things come to mind, and I will avoid making an immature boobie joke. First is the glass. Was it factory coated in a light oil? Any possibility of a residue? Second is current. I lost 2 or 3 corals and had an anem split and bleach then didnt see again. only when i had a small cut on my...

    Help? ID, good? bad?

    Guess it matches my avatar (and horror) preferences. It is henceforth named 'Lord Cthulhu'

    I've not seen this before...

    In searching for an ID for my new friend, I found this... http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-04/rs/ If you scroll about 1/2 way down there's an image of a eunice worm named 'max'. Looks very very similiar, but as Paul mentioned, looks like a pice, not the whole thing.

    Help? ID, good? bad?

    Thought it was subsand bryopsis, fished it out and almost ditched it till I realized it was moving. Polychaete? Terebellid or Cirratulid? See those as both beneficial worms. Just want to be sure before I throw it back into tank. Cheers, M

    May 2015 Meeting

    Late reply here. Kristen and Tom, thanks for everything. Had a great time, especially T. Didn't get to watch Game of Thrones, was too busy reading my comics. Oddly, found this...

    I went to that big store

    So, I went to one of those today. Not my normal one, this one was a ways down the road. (note I used to live in Upstate, where that meant 45 minutes aways somewhere east-ish). I was there for a plastic piece for a fountain. As we wandered about we also decided to make the final plant run for...

    Skimmer Micro Bubbles

    Just an FYI. I picked up a Coralife 100(is) a few months ago for a 40b as I found it on sale at a big shop and I got a great deal at $100. Had a massive amount of microbubbles. Gave it about a week and a half and it calmed down a bit. But, the pump/wheel kicked out after 6-8 weeks. Coralife...

    Picky Pajamas

    Dropped a Bangai in the tank a few weeks ago. Went a day without feeding and tried frozen bloodworms and frozen greens, wouldn't touch them. Tried flakes and pellets, no dice. ATM it will only eat mysis or raw chopped up shrimp.

    To mandarin or not to mandarin

    You are a very ingenious man. I'm sure you've heard that often. None the less, I repeat it, and will under oath if the time ever comes. 'Yes, your Honor, I couldn't believe someone I knew was involved. I don't know much about him, but he is quite ingenious'. My thanks. I shall be doing much...

    Juano's 75 Gallons "The Re-Build"

    Juan, sorry to hear. Are you sure they're dead and not just closed up until they adapt? Regardless, I have little, but might be able to offer a few pieces/cuts/frags if you're in need.

    To mandarin or not to mandarin

    When I began my initial tank, a mere 9-10 months ago, my goal was to, eventually, harbor a mandarin. I'm not looking to do anything soon, just trying to figure out if; A) I can have on in my tank B) What preps I may need over the next few months. C) He'll like the little sailor outfit I made for...

    Weber grill FREEish

    Reefer, I'm sorry, it went pretty quick. I had a call within an hour of posting it and was unable to get to the website during work to update the post.

    Weber grill FREEish

    Bought a house last year and the owner left a Weber Spirit E/SP 310 grill, one of those $800+ things. Was 6 years old, needed some parts, so I dropped $150-180 in it for new ceramic inserts, new cast iron grill plates, etc... Works great, looks good, no major deformities aside from the inside...

    Bryopsis :(

    Not planning on a water change for a while, going to see if the decreasing food source and increasing Tech M impurity will do the job. Eyeballing this for the most part based on bryopsis itself and the state of the inverts, in particular the micro-ceriths I have in the tank. Day 3 (Monday)...

    Bryopsis :(

    Sunday Added 150ml Tech M, according to the label, this should raise Mg by approximately 50ppm (going up slowly and monitoring along the way).

    Quick Lobster Question

    From what I understand lobsters have a general reputation of killing inverts, attempting to take down fish at night, and can pose a threat to corals. But, there is the argument that not all lobsters are equal. If it was me, I wouldn't risk it. If not running a quarantine, A FW dip is very...

    Bryopsis :(

    A frag I bought a few months back was a bryopsis carrier. I've battled this piece of rock three times now and always come out on top, usually with little bits of green sludge on my clothes and smelling of peroxide. Now, having returned from vacation and with the auto feeder having been on, I've...
