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.
You do have corals...zoos and star polyps are corals that have a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae that assist in "feeding" them through photosynthesis. So by providing light, you are providing "food" for the zoos and polpys. I currently run two 10K's and two actinics for 10 hours a...
You should also realize that just because you have an anemone and clowns, doesn’t mean that they will host in the anemone. I have a RBTA and two clowns for about two months. The clowns have never gone near the anemone. My guess is that it is up high in the tank (top 1/3), while they prefer to...

Whoo...Houston we have a problem...nonwoven products have binders and other stuff in there to hold them together and keep them fresh (biocides). I would not use fabrics that either I didnt know the additives or that were not made for aquarium use. Some (if not most) binders could raise...
I speak with great ignorance…but my guess is that it is not a Cephalopod (octopus family), but still could be part of the Mollusca Phylum. My second guess is Echinoderm Phylum…sea cucumber. Hard to tell from a static picture without seeing it up close and personnel…and that’s assuming it has no...
