Maybe you had a hitchhiker.

The xenia might come back just give it a while. I had some looked like bait and then after a month I had two stalks.

You are looking good. Time to post some pics. ;D

Yep I think I paid 3 bucks a lb for most of my rock from a fellow reefer.  Trop has base rock which is heavier but less expensive, live rock is about 6 bucks a lb I think.  Marco Rock which can be great shapes ect is dead which means no goodies or baddies but you have to cure it.  Less expensive...

Use eggcrate and build a platform..you will only need a very small amount of floss soap bar sized really pretty cheap even if you get the real floss and not pillow stuffing which is probably the same but I figure with my luck it will turn out to contain radioactive fish killing somethingorother.

AO has LR,LS etc. So do OGII and Red Sand. I know there is a store that has some pretty inexpensive LR but is closer to Philly I think. At MACNA one of our sponsors Marco Rocks will have dry rock for sale. AO sells RO water not sure about salt...water is one thing that TROP sells at a...

Dr Jim sells all fish that have been through his QT plan. I like AO for fish. While closer to Trop you might find better prices at AO or OGII IMHO. Welcome and if you need help I am not far over in Little Silver. James

I got the diamond wheel think it is...saw MikeM using it and picked one up. Noticed it smelled a lot like when you get a cavity filled at the dentist office. Only did it once.

Just make sure you change out the floss/pad very frequently so as to not build up on nitrates. I would recommend floss twice a week, pad rinse same and replace max 2 weeks.

I used a piece of pond liner under my pump that worked pretty well.

Happy Birthday to both of you!!

Well for most tangs yes....55 is a weird size, which is what I have (and almost everyone who has ever done fresh water has had at some point) for my fresh water. It is nice length but so narrow. So long as you are using it as an excuse to upgrade I won't bark to loud about it. But for the fish's...

Your right right real name wrong screen name :-[. I do remember her tank..hope you got some of her magic. ;D

Yep no need to repeat everything again....but I have them and like them. James

Looks good John...was that the same tank that was crammed full of stuff?

Funny but he walked almost right in front of where one of the wavemakers is. Fine where he is as at least I don't have to move everything around. If a baby kenya tree falls off and gets eaten so be it ;D. At least I don't have to redo the tank every night. The CBB is one fish I would like to...

Yeh they are not big fish. However just a thought you have two schooling sort of fish...maybe a couple smaller "different" fish would be nice. Blenny, goby, hawkfish, clown, cardinal fish etc as they will have different personalities/habits. Something to watch. Schooling fish are nice if you...

Jon tank looks great. Got all your plumbing done? How is the C.B. Butterfly doing? My RBTA moved to the back of the tank ::) but at least out of the way. See how long it lasts. Thanks again.

I am going to suggest you don't get a purple or even yellow tang. My reasoning is that the smaller the tank the more the bad traits(aggresiveness and territorialness(is that a word)) will come out. My suggestion would be one of the following tangs kole, convict, lavender, or tomini. They are all...

I am going to say first try a second clown ... I didn't realize the potential there for their interaction it is really very interesting. Firefish are great ...but a) rockwork to hide in is helpful and b) they will jump. If you have been lucky till now great but they will jump when startled. You...
