I have a yellow watchman goby that I'd like to see go to a good home. I've had him for 8 months and he is very healthy and eats pretty much anything. Unfortunately, He is a serious bully and constantly harasses my other watchman goby and anything else that swims near him. I hate to get rid of...

Thanks Downbeach. I just looked through the entire database and my GF seems to think it resembles the Serpula Feather Duster. I took a long look at the Glass Anenome and Majano but didn't seem to look like it but I wish I could say for sure.

Someone said it might be a feather duster. I'm going to try and get a better pic.

I bought this frag at an LFS two weeks ago. I dipped it in CoralX and its been in my QT until today when I dipped it again and placed it in the display tank. I just noticed this hitchhiker. I count 3 of them and it kinda looks like a star but its its pulsating in the current. I guess I didn't...

Thanks Downbeach!

Yesterday I got some LPS and Zoa frags and after dripping and acclimating them I found this guy on the bottom of one the containers that a frag was packed in. He looks like a Serpent Star Fish but I'm not exactly sure. What should I do with him? Is he safe to add to the main tank?

I don't think I've ever taken a reading after the unit has been running for a while. I usually just flip the TDS switch once a week when I test my other parameters. This weekend I have to do a 30 gallon WC so I'm going to take readings every hour as it fills up my brute can and see what happens.

Thanks very much for the welcome! This seems like a great community and its been nice finding some NJ Reefers. I appreciate the feedback regarding the RODI. I'm going to give your suggestion a shot this weekend when I have some time to monitor things. I'm also going to post this in the...

About the same here for now. I'm going to pick up some zoas, a maze brain, RBTA and maybe a blasto but have not decided yet. I like SPS but I don't have the skills for that yet.

Thanks Hockeynut, will do.

Hi Matt, That sounds good man. You're very close. Lets definitely keep in touch. Do you focus on any specific types of coral? Maybe I can do something different and we can swap for some variety.

I'd have to check my log but It sounds similar to yours (maybe a month less). I have added a 2nd DI chamber which seems to help a bit but its probably more of a bandaid instead of a long term solution.

Hi Kreep, Yes, that's correct. I love the setup. Plumbed the unit under my kitchen sink and I barely have to lift a finger as far as top off goes but the DI exhaustion is a concern.

Hockeynut, We have regular city water but I'm told that there is a superfund site about 5 miles away. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. The house is about 100 years old but the plumbing (copper) was replaced approximately 7 years ago. I have an ATO (Tunze) that constantly refills a...

Tank Photos I'm not sure if this the appropriate place to put them but here are a few pics of my tank. Like I said, Its 8 months old so please excuse the white rocks, lol. Coralline has been slow-growing but Its starting to pop up and spread on my overflows. Just as an FYI, here are my water...

LOL! I have not checked out Pet Shanty yet. Elos sounds like a nice place. They'll probably be next on my scouting trip. I'm thinking its time to start branching out further into PA. I liked Something Fishy and The Hidden Reef looks like a nice place and its a shorter driver then going to Max...

Hi Atll, I know Warren County is far but reef wise, it feels like I'm on another planet sometimes! Can't seem to find anyone to trade with or learn from. Thanks for the tip about Pets Plus, I'll check them out. I've mostly been going to Something Fishy and Max Reef whenever works takes me into...

Thanks Hockeynut. I'll get some pics up as soon my lights turn on for the day.

Thanks for the reply! I'm in Washington Borough in Warren County. I'd love some tips for the nearest decent LFS.

Hello NJRC! I'm a fairly new hobbyist. I have a 125 gal. tank that has been cycled for 8 months now. Its currently FOWLR with 2 clowns, 2 yellow watchman gobies, 2 skunk cleaner shrimps. I also have a green chromis and algae blenny currently in quarantine. I'm about to make the leap into LPS...
