completely forgot, I'll remove that option!

My Blotched Borbonius Anthias has finally started showing himself after about 6 months in my LPS dominant Waterbox. He didn’t come out until I added the three yellow tangs that are destined for my grow out tub. Who knew tangs could be great dither fish??? I guess I’ll have to leave one or two...

I got a lot of questions wearing my sweatshirt that says "Boston Reefers Society" from some rather elevated individuals

I'm about an hour South in New Egypt. I'm trying to have a meetup at my house sometime at the end of next month/June. Check out the thread, it'll be a nice get together and we'll be swapping frags and I'll have a bunch for sale by then too. Potential meet up May/June 2026 New Egypt

Will do Added

Hey everyone, I was thinking of having a meet up at my house. I’ll BBQ and have beer, we can talk reefs, frag swap and check out my systems. I’m located in New Egypt maybe 5 miles from six flags. Does Saturday or Sunday work better for people? The last weekend of May and any weekend in June...

Attached are Better pictures of the control shelf for the SPS system and some of the new shelves I’m using for better organization

Started reorganizing the fish room and doing the the planned system fixes a little over a week ago. I’ll share more pictures later this week!

If your tank is healthy, they’ll take over. One of my friends/mentors up in Boston uses them as a form of nutrient export instead of cheato or other macro algae’s in a refugium. I’ve adopted this too and it’s been working great over the past year. Tank is looking great!

Alright, here's another update for you all: I found a few importers who are willing to help me get the corals I need for spawning. I've never imported and acclimated wild colonies to captivity before so I put an order in the size of what I was thinking of ordering when I am ready to spawn...

I’ll be going if anyone wants to meet up!

Haven't updated this thread in a while but this is what I've been up to since October (big new projects): The new project is the start of my journey into coral spawning, focused on Acropora millepora and Euphyllia species. The goal is to build a small-scale, modular spawning system that will...

I'd go with manual removal, turn the lights off for a couple of weeks since you have no corals and then slowly ramp them up again. You can always regrow coralline and it is much more resilient than people give it credit for.

My wife's condition for letting me set up the euphyllia tank was if I could get it in the basement with no help. Guess what I did while she was at work yesterday? Decided on a scape and cemented it together this morning. I'll be throwing rubble from my display in the sump and getting it running...

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Completely agree, I’m glad that I finally have reached some level of system maturity where I’m comfortable adding more SPS again. If anyone is selling good sized frag/mini colony packs I’m in the market! I’m getting back into breeding the shrimp slowly, I have some survivors from when I moved...

After nearly 3 months of patiently waiting and monitoring the system, the surviving corals are starting to encrust and/or show axial growth as well as color up from bleached or brown to showing their true colors again. I have developed a hair algae problem in the frag runner, refugium and under...

Moved my sump today, couldn’t access the whole container for maintenance how I set it up initially. Changed out my 2x Vectra L2 returns for a VarioS 10. Haven’t bracketed the pipes down yet but it’s not leaking and look! I made room for a biocube
