Hey guys, I just went by Petland, Lewisville this afternoon and their fish department is in bad shape. They had a lot of tangs and other fish that were bone-thin/obviously hungry, cyano covers the sand/walls of their tanks and things are progressively getting worse. I talked to one of the...

I think one of the things that a lot of new reef aquarists latch onto when they first start out are three "______ per gallon" rules of thumb that can hinder their progress or actually be harmful to the overall health of their tank. The three rules of thumb I'm referring to are: (1) Watts per...

I haven't posted pics of my tank in a long time. I thought I'd share. A note on their lineage is included in most of the pic comments. They are 100% aquacultured barring a couple acan colonies that I got from James and he got from Zoanuts.

Have you changed anything in your tank recently, i.e. salt mix, dosing, etc.?

How do you like them? How do they compare to other bulbs on the market?

For the last two or three months I've been having some major problems with my reef. I've finally gotten them sorted out, I think, but felt like venting. Due to high nutrients and phosphates (I think) my tank had been going on a steady decline. Despite using two phosban reactors with carbon...

While feeding my tank tonight I had to take a couple of pics of my titanium efflo feeding. The mesenterial filaments are crazy on this thing.

I recently changed from a Phoenix 14k bulb to a Reeflux 12k. I noticed today that my organism paly colony has undergone a major color shift in the centers. They're almost black and the orange skirts have intensified. I've dated the pics. It's amazing what a change in bulb can do!

It doesn't really look like a blenny, the face structure seems different to me. It almost looks like a hawkfish really, but I have no definite ID. Maybe someone else here would know. You might also post the pic in the fish forum on RC.

Could I plumb two phosban reactors together with one pump to eliminate the need for extra tubing and 2 pumps? I was thinking of putting the pump on the first reactor, which would contain the activated carbon, which would in turn feed into the second reactor utilizing GFO. My only concern is...

Just picked up this acro from Robert (Fish2morow) this afternoon. He has some really really nice sps frags. This piece is beautiful and will rival my Marshall Island Valida as the tank's showpiece.

Marc, I've been reading about Prodibo lately and was wondering what you thought of it since it's been 2 years since you started using it, or if you've already updated that information could you direct me to the thread? I did a search here and couldn't find anything. Thanks.

I haven't posted pics of my rejuvenated reef yet, so I snagged my wife's new camera and took a few. Back in October or November my 37gallon sprang a leak. Opportunity to upgrade right? Well I did, sort of. I transferred my livestock to a borrowed 55g (thanks Tri) and ordered an Aqueon 40...

I just got my Double - Ended Lumenarc III Mini Stealth DE 250/400W from hellolights but noticed the new Lumen Bright 3 DE Metal Halide Reflector, which boasts 16% more light reflection than other similar reflectors. Does anyone have experience with lumen brights versus lumenarcs or could...

Yes/No, I'm pretty sure this size tank would be too small for a foxface but I'd really like a fish that will graze on macro. I have already purchased my 40b from robert and tri and will be setting it up this weekend. My livestock has been living in a 55gallon, generously lent to me by tri...

Recently read something on here or reefcentral mentioning that some people believe using frozen or freeze-dried rotifers can introduce redbugs into ones tank? Does anyone have more info. on this or is it just a hypothesis?

Got a Gorilla Crab in your sump that you're not sure what to do with? Got a hermit crab who has outgrown your tank or become a general nuisance? Give it/them to me at the August Meeting and I will provide them with a nice new be it temporary home. I have a beautiful 12gallon nano full of live...

I came home today and my coral beauty had somehow got his head stuck in the intake of the rio powerhead I have on my BakPak 2 skimmer. As soon as I saw it, obviously, I extracted him. He was very happy to be free but was swimming in weird circles and then just started free floating around in...

I posted this on RC too but I'd like to make sure I'm wiring this together correctly. I made this diagram, which isn't that great. I want to make sure I am grounding this setup properly. It is a PFO 250w Mini Pendant with a Sunlight Supply male adapter going into a female adapter which will be...

Okay, So after resisting the thought of upgrading for like 6 months I'm seriously considering upgrading from my 37 gallon to a 75rr. Really the only things I would need to buy equipment wise is the tank, stand, and 1 more 250w mh pendant. The equipment I have on my 37gallon now, protein...
