Have a RBTA that, since I picked it up a month and a half ago, has at least doubled in size. Feeding it by the book. I’m curious what others are doing as far as feeding. Am I feeding this guy too much? I have visions of Little Shop of Horrors...”Feed me.” And what do you feed your anemone?

Buy it! And if you are hung up on the colors of the lines, use a marker to mark them their appropriate color.

I’ve never seen this discussed, but wouldn’t the cheapest light be the big light bulb in the sky. With all the green building going on, would it be feasible to pipe in the light from the sun to illuminate your take. Here’s an example of light pipe: http://www.solartubelight.co.uk/ You would...

I would first make sure where it is leaking…from the threads or from the bulkhead connection. If it is the threads, instead of Teflon, you could use pipe dope. It is commonly used on metal pipe, but is also good on PVC.

I'll cure your problem...give that little SOB to me...I don't have any bird's nest.... That'll fix him! ;D

I can take a shot at a your questions: SAW:  Plexiglass (acrylic) can be cut with woodworking tools.  Because you are bonding one cut edge to another flat piece of acrylic, a perfect straight cut is needed.  That is, a table saw, radial arm saw or circular saw with a straight edge is needed. ...

Wow, I agree with Diver….looks like a picture frame. Did you place the xenia or did it just find it way to the perimeter on its own.

Yea, but boiling the rock only makes sure it’s double dead ???.  If there are any critters in the rock, it could cause for a nitrate/nitrite spike in the tank as it decomposes.  Realize, I know what I’m talking about; I speak with great ignorance; it’s my specialty! I would still boil the rock...

What are your water parameters? I have to agree with Birds, my candycane is about halfway down (8”-9” below the water) and under T-5’s. It’s doing just fine. I’d be looking at something else other than just T5’s. I’d be looking at water parameters, how long do you leave the lights on, and if...

Wow...what a deal....I wish I had the room!

Mmmmmmmm! Pumpkin Pie. Sorry, couldn’t resist with it being the day after Thanksgiving. Nice looking anemone! I like it.

I would be a little reluctant putting old “live” rock directly into a tank or refugium. What if you still have dead remains trapped in the rock. I would be more inclined to put the rock into it’s own tank for a period of time and measure water parameters on occasion. Once I see it’s not putting...

The commercial product is Joe's Juice for around 8 bucks. However, you can also use concentrated lemon juice to get rid of the little buggers.  Used it a couple times...always has worked with one shot.  Here's a link: http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/msubpestaiptasia/a/aa061903.htm Good luck...

Great photos (I’m not Phyl ;D :o). I especially like that first one where the fish is looking right at you. Good stuff!

Had this one..."Where are the fish...how come you only have three fish?" HAPPY BIRD DAY EVERYONE! :)

Aquatic Obsessions in Avenel for one. Also a trip to Tropaquarium on Route 35 in Ocean Twp. is worth the trip just to see their magnificent display tanks.

This picture scares me...I can see it coming...JIM ROTH”S BIGGER OL’ TANK THREAD...all 4000 gallons! When do we start the build, digging up your backyard! ;D

OOOOH….what “beverage” did that take to get the wife talking like that? I need to know. If you let me know that, damn, I come build the tank for nothing :o!

Thank you Andy and Jeanne for allowing a bunch of strangers to traipse through your house. Good food, great tank, fabulous talks about cement and photos, nice house and a whole group of reef-crazy people. Thank you once again.

Nice!!!
