And now, in Movietone News...That mandarin is a beauty.

Well, transferred last Wednesday over an 18 hour period. Tanks were next to each other so all went smoothly. If into detail... I filled the new 60g with 50# rinsed aragonite on Sunday and began making water. On Wednesday I added the 25g matching salinity (new) water to the new tank then...

Excellent idea. I was thinking way too inside the box. Concern I had was that the current system (40b) is without a skimmer for past few weeks and I've been overfeeding a bit. I thought new water in the new tank would be beneficial. But... Feeding off your idea I instigated a 20% water change...

When I entered this hobby 8 months ago I assured my wife that the 40b was a perfect size for our room. Having read for over a year in preparation for the hobby, I assured her that this set up would do us well for many years and there was no fear of expansion or additional expense. This week I'm...

Been a couple of weeks but a lots gone on, including news of a future reefer - there goes the boat savings. BUT, I'm back to the tank, and, more substantially, the stand build. As my garage is filled with every tool known to man, I have no space to build anything. This required completing the...

Congrats! I understand a candle won't work underwater, but regardless, are you going to give the fish cake?

So I have a recurring problem with a small zoanth group (bout 20 polyps on a small rock). Algae kept popping up and I kept trimming and plucking it. Got tired of the continuous effort and let it sit for a week, then an emergency came up and I let it go for another week. By the time I took notice...

Building (poorly) a 4x2 stand and venturing into the realm of purchasing one. 30" height or better would be a bonus. Mark (201) 467-1771

Wow! Mark here, new guy. Looking forward to watching this come together. Good luck!

I'll see if one of them wants to become a shop rep then offer healthcare and coffee. Chalk bass or fairy wrasse, which is the weakest negotiator?

Its been a week now and they still haven't constructed anything out of the PVC.

They've been in there 3 days and are already coming to the glass anticipating food. They've got as healthy an appetite as my 4 year old. Thanks for the advice. I'm with 9 on the non-medication front if at all possible, but I'm not skilled enough yet to pick up on any subtle indications of...

Residents are a small fairy wrasse (1.5") and a small chalk bass (1"). Tank is 20L with hob filter (no carbon), UV (as I had it around and I'm not medicating atm), heater, airline, powerhead, some filter material from main tank, and some PVC so they can build things in their free time. Thanks...

Hi all, hoping for some advice. I just picked up 2 new mouths to feed and they're in the QT at the moment. Fish were picked up at Tropaquarium and both seem to be visually healthy. They've been in for 3 days now. I dropped a line in RC and the advice I received back involved the tank transfer...

2x Maxspect Mazarras. I ordered an over the tank mounting kit for them, I'll post a pic when I have it set up for a test run. No idea on corals yet. I have a few zoanths right now. Once the tank is set up and all residents are in I'll start doing my research (I'm a bit uninformed on the coral...

Slowed down a bit this week. Made a light purchase from a fellow member (thanks!) and am awaiting delivery of a new mount, and have QT'd two new arrivals to get ready for the new tank, a fairy wrasse and a chalk bass. 20L with 30g rated HOB filter (sponge with no carbon), media from...

Just picked some up.

New skimmer, a Reef Octo 110 classic in sump… Had the lumber cut for the stand today… The frame completed about 2-3 hours later, lying on its side, the 10 inch panel is for a dedicated electronics compartment… Tank on top and sump under to ensure all will fit OK...

BAckdated as I've just got my pic posting clearance... So, here’s the 40b I’ve got running atm. Tank is nice but it does not suit the room and the stand is OK at best. With renovations to the house being done, I decided to hit up the tank as well. Here’s some stuff. The new...
