    Rob's time for an upgrade 180

    Grats. Just got a gyre 130 in my 4' and it works fantastic at 60% power. That overflow looks impressive. Good luck.

    Guyana Trip

    Great pics and thanks for the insight. As an adult I've travelled the world for 10+ years and yet, somehow, I ended up back here in NJ. Unfortunately I've always been a metro type and have settled in cities or suburbs with few chances to see outside the bustle. My short-sightedness was my loss...

    Mark's 60g shallow reef

    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...

    Advice for livestock transfer?

    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...

    Advice for livestock transfer?

    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...

    Mark's 60g shallow reef

    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...

    I just realized my reef is 44 years old this month.

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

    Killing algae on zoa rocks

    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...

    Think I have a problem with my QT fish...

    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?

    QT procedure

    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...
