I've got 2 rubbermaid 30's full of dry dead rock from breaking down my tanks. I think I've had a long enough break. The rock has been out of water for about 6 months. What should I do to it to make it ready for use?

Hello all. Been a while. After reaching the point of feeling burned out on the hobby and stepping away from the club for a break, I decided to dive back in. My 75 wasn't looking so geat due to my negligence. I had done water changes and kept the skimmer clean but that's about it. So, I decided...

The topic at this evenings meeting was about angels. It was very informative and interesting. One of the biggest thing I took away from it is that the whole "angels aren't reef safe" thing is hogwash. Meaty LPS like Lobo's, Wellso's, Scoly's, etc. should not be kept with large angels. Definitely...

I've been having a hair algae issue lately. Got tired of pulling it and some of it I couldn't get to. Went out a couple of days ago and got a Sea Hare. He has been munching down non-stop since putting him in the tank. I think he may get it done a lot quicker than I thought he would.

I use a pair of stainless steel forceps to feed. Occasionally he (or she?) will grab onto the forceps and pull hard enough to nearly pull them out of my hand. So, I'm feeding yesterday and at one point the eel grabs the forceps and in the process topples a candycane colony. I feed a few more...

Martin Moe sent me this. I think it's totally awesome and wish them the best of luck!

The speaker at the frag swap today, Scott Fellman, talked a bit about sea grass tanks in his talk about biotopes. Really interesting talk. It got me to thinking. I think once I've got the 100g plumbed in with my existing 75, I'm going to move most everything from the 75 to the 100. Then I think...

Not to scale but you get the idea. alt=""> The 55g fuge under the 100 will be raised up 6". This will give about 8" of room for access. There will be no equipment in it, just fuge. The 100 will drain to it thru 1-1/2", then it will gravity drain via 2" to the equipment sump. The 75 will drain...

Well, just got my Neptune Lunar Simulator. Can't wait to get it hooked up to the ACjr. I'll let y'all know how it works.

After having one on my 75 since Sat. morning, I would have to say absolutely yes. I've got it in reef crest mode set at about 70% and everything in my tank is standing taller or fuller. LPS, SPS, Toadstool, zoas, even the clams. I shoulda bit the bullet a long time ago. :nod:

Under actinics this morning. This is the first time I've seen anything but short feeders on this and I've had it at least a couple of years. The longer one you can see is ~4". It has completely melted a head of Caulastrea sp. that was sitting a couple inches away. alt="">

I've had it maybe 6 weeks now. alt="">

I recently purchased a Drew's Doser Peristaltic Dosing Pump to dose my alk. Got it all set up and running. I luv it! Every morning since installing it (a week now) I have tested alk and it has been 10dkh. Time to get another for the calcium. Oh, I'm running it with my ACjr. Comes on for 1 hr. in...

It has grown quite a bit. Aug 26th, '08 - prop tank under T5's 10k/act alt=""> Jan 29th, '09 - display under 250w Poenix 14k/VHO act. (1st try with Melev photo box) alt="">

I have bought them twice from 2 different places and they came in the same white box with the same markings on the bulb.

On their website it states -

Anyone tried these yet? http://riopump.net/new_products_folder/seioprop_desc.html

Last weekend I picked up a very nice frag from J_G. It is looking very happy in my prop tank right now. I'm wanting to move it to the display soon. Will it be happier up high, down low, or somewhere in between? (2x 250w Phoenix 14k over a 75g) TIA, Mike

I have a Yellow Watchman Goby. I have gotten used to seeing him only once every couple of months. Since a few days after I started feeding Arcti-Pods I have seen him almost every day.

He's a really secretive sea star. I see my Red Serpent every time I look in the tank. I can look around a bit and see my Yellow Brittle's arm hanging out somewhere. The Harlequin, 1st time in at least 2 months. Wish I could get a pic of him.
