Meant to send that as a dm....i don’t need the tank and my wife will give me hell, but someone has to take it.

Working out my weekend....ill be in Cranford Friday evening so maybe can grab it then...what’s your availability? I defer to anyone else interested but I’m blown away nobody’s jumped.

I've read that frag plugs are an area that aiptasia often can be attached to. Technique depends on the type of coral (though not doing damage is not my specialty lol)

Great question. QT definitely is best practice but like most others I don’t. I dip and then rinse in tank , and lately I’ve taken to a short freshwater dip as well (only one minute). I prefer to remove from frag plugs if possible.

I like getting small frags and having them grow in over time. Not only keeps the cost down but leaves room for the reef to grow in. Toadstool has been awesome to watch grow from 2-3 inches to more than double that (and when it flattens out/opens up even more). Mine has standard tan color but...

I’ve been thinking the same thing!

Haha. That sounds like quite a setup you’ve built!

Take that invitation Sponge! Great writeup Paul, I love the idea of using bricks.

I don’t disagree with anything you said, they certainly did not save the hobby, what an outrageous statement. And you’re right-it’s a reality show, but the only one I’ve enjoyed because their creations for the most part were pretty cool. I enjoyed the show despite their flaws, which is an...

I like the show. Really creative, fun tanks. Could do without the drama nonsense but they were having fun in the hobby. Brett's post is awful, but I guess it's frustrating to see people in the hobby reject what he's been working on for the past fifteen years. People need to lighten up--both...

I’m sure I have, in Freehold. Haven’t harvested the fuge in a bit and intend to later or tomorrow. Also have sea lettuce in there.

The only reason I'm tempted to glue is my urchin tends to pick up what it can. But it has left these ric's alone so far so more than likely I'll wait it out. They've been in a while without being piked up

These rics are amazing. I didn’t glue either, figured I’d lay them out by the rock base and let them attach themselves. Now I figure I’ll glue the higher one and move the others nearby and see what happens. They are amazing. David, last I saw there was another group forming for this buy...

i had read ricordea do best in lower light, so I placed the rainbows I got from the group buy (and one from the January meeting) on the sandbed by rock. One kept moving so I placed it higher on a rock and the colors that have come out are amazing. Check out the blues on the one that’s placed...

I use rock rubble in my fuge. More surface area for beneficial bacteria, and more grazing space for pods. Also have macroalgae in there. I vote no to sand.

Awesome. The mccoskers is a beautiful fish. This reminds me that I included one in my original stocking plan before impulsivity took over! Great choice!

That’s what the forum’s all about! And that’s why I like coming here myself. I definitely had a different outcome than other folks, so I may have done it wrong or just more evidence that each system does their own thing. Sharing my experience hoping maybe it’ll help and maybe someone who...

Yeah, I never understood the outbreak either but the timing lined up, and I had not added anything new at that point for a few months. It may have been an after-affect of the die-off since I had a lot of snails that bury in the sand, plus I lost some large snails too. I tried to remove the...

Much respect John. Nice to see you on the board and reacting to concerns of the members here.
