stunning as always...it's always nice to be able to gaze at your tank and have something to shoot/aim for with my own.

I'd do it in a heartbeat! Obviously I'd take appropriate precautions but everyone knows your tank is fantastic (little tiny buggers notwithstanding). Anyways - sorry to hear about all the work you've had to put into the tank (vs just enjoying it). I'm glad to hear it's under control and I look...

I know it's hard to believe but since I put the skimmer on - the tank water appears clearer...surprised that happened so fast.

i could lend you my laMotte test kit if you want. I really like it. I'm in metuchen. Maybe I'm just not a chemist but following the salifert alk test kit gives me a headache. send me a pm if you're in this neck of the woods for work or whatever. or i guess if it can wait until the next meeting...

i would try and stabilize the tank - do not add anymore livestock. See if you can get the skimmer working, do a massive water change, then move on. As the tank stabilizes again - perhaps it's just for the best to keep only what you already have in there.

put the asterina starfish back in! :P

what are the water parameters? it almost sounds like your tank crashed - you list sps you list an anemone (a hardy one at that) you list sps you list zoas you listed a fish Go back to the smaller tank- those were the good days!

i would think any old clip on fan would work. Just swing by one of the big box stores like wal-mart, target, S-mart (oh wait that last one is from a movie - never mind). if you want to go all high-end - you could look into the variable speed ice-cap fans.

Thanks much to david (malulu) and family for hosting all the folks at your home. My kids appreciated the room and older "sitters" too. Your tank is beautiful and my wife couldn't stop talking about the maxima clam and those quirky eels in the sand. Also my first time in the raffle and I won a...

I would say that in the wild tangs roam so far and so fast that it would take a really beaten down fish (while resting) to be infected. In our tanks - they have no place to go (and a closed system)- and ich can multiple very quickly - making tangs appear to be more susceptible. Hippos do seem...

The pic is just terrible...it's a wonder how people take care of fish like this! http://cnj.craigslist.org/pet/1135536974.html It looks like someone took the fish out, cut off the dorsal fin, and threw the poor thing back in.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccccee! hook it up and let us know how it runs? what's the foot print of that beauty?

I did what JRWOHLER suggested - a regular old light bulb. Now my chaeto is finally starting to look much better. 'course I've got tons of trates! :P

Thanks for sharing! You could use a 3rd party hosting sight like photobucket to store your pics and then post them in one single post. It's free and pretty easy to use...I just have to dig up the linke somewhere for you.

SEA MONKEYS! http://www.sea-monkeys.com/html/aboutsm/whatarethey.html When I was a kid I always wanted to have my own family of sea monkeys...lol.

Thankfully I can always rely on going to AO/OGII/Smcooler's for fish/corals. It's not just these retailers. In my company we upgraded the security of our delivery to BRINKS and even they drop-kick our stuff. Ugh the aggravation.

i think they are the same company that made the fake corals for that 4000 gallon tank on Monsterfishkeepers. Before people claim it's too hard - just look at what harlequinreef maintains over at the Red Bank Hospital. Not that I would be able to do it- but if you have the money to buy that...

Not invasive pythons - but invasive parrots! (lol) - well I think it's funny though I guess con ed doesn't. read this over the weekend in the nytimes: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/18/nyregion/18metjournal.html

yep - talked about on all the reef boards - and also other pets/reptile/etc boards. here's the last two threads I saw this on here: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=17081.0 and here...

Lol - are they the feeder comets? Those things can grow huge. At the Bronx Zoo in the Butterfly Conservatory- they have a small pond and I think those are all either fantail comets or just regular comets. Hey if you use a net to catch them, I will certify the fish as "MAC-approved". ;) ;D...
