So I have two Hammers and one Frogspawn corals that I bought at the last club frag swap. So I have had them for about six months and in that time I have never seen any of the corals with any sweeper tentacles out. They appear healthy and two of them have gotten larger and gone from two heads...

So I have a Reef Angel and it came with float switches for the water top off feature. I have also built an adjustable float switch gadget so I can put them in the sump (http://www.dfwmas.org/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=124732). Now I am looking for the container to put my top off water in that...

So I have been wanting to set the ATO up in my sump so I can stop having to fill the sump from my 5 gallon jugs every day or two. I finally got into the garage and came up with my design and started working on it. I decided to go with Plexiglass, but I am not even close to the work the Marc...

This is not the small clumps of Zenia and has a "trunk". Actually, when I bought it at DNA I think there was one base and two small trunks and now I have about 6 trunks with a couple of them being kind of big. I dropped them into a hole in a rock and they have "climbed" out of the hole and are...

Here are a few photos of some of the frags I picked up at the swap this weekend. I know the names of a few of them such as Frogspawn, Hammer, Candy Cane and the Gorilla Nipples (Zoas) but the rest of them I never can remember what they are. If you see something and know the name the let me...

So a few months back I got some GSP while at a club meeting. I got them onto a couple rocks and they were starting to grow nicely with a great looking green. When my big tank was ready but before the lights were ready I had to move my coral frags to the fugue along with the LEDs lights from...

Can anyone tell me what this is... This is the actual color and it looks like a red bubble of some kind. As you can see there are four of them but I have not seen any more of them popping up anywhere in the tank. alt=""> Tim

I have been watching and my Ph is staying at around 7.59, I was watching it and my Kh and adding a bufer to raise my Kh and Ph and now my Kh is so much better but my Ph had hardly moved. When I started my Kh was at 6 and now it's around 8 but my Ph only went from 7.45 to 7.59 at the same time...

So it was recently my birthday and my wife got me a dew things for my tank. As I had told some I had my coral and fish in a 20 gallon tank while waiting on finishing my LEDs for my 150 tall. In the mean time once the cycle on my big tank was done I moved all my fish and most of my rocks to the...

So, as I had posted earlier in both here, New to the Hobby and Emergency 911 I got some new fish this weekend. Problems showed up right when I started to float the bags to equalize the temperatures. I noticed that one of the fish was missing an eye, then a couple hours later I found one of the...

So, we used our DFW MAS membership cards and got our discount at DNA today. We went to get one of the nozzles that fit into the return bulkhead where we can split the water to the top of the DT and the other half down towards the sand.They only had them with threads and we needed a slip on...

So a few months back I cycled my little 20 gallon starter tank. I am using this for building up some live rock and just getting used to the Saltwater life. So we jumped the gun a bit back at the last frag swap and bought some coral to put into the tank along with the CUC (2 Peppermint Shrimp...

So I was thinking about trying to find a few brittle stars for my tank. I know that the large green and large black ones can sometimes go after fish, snails and such. What about the smaller ones? I have two Pajama Cardinalfish, two peppermint shrimp, 3 or 4 small turbo snails, and 4 or 5...

So, I picked up some GSP and Kenya Tree at the meeting last night. While I thought I had dipped the first corals I got I guess I did not do it right. This time was totally different. I got a cup of RODI water and added a few drop of iodine and dipped the Kenya Tree frags in it. Dang... all...

OK, so I am planning on getting my sump going soon. I found a great deal on a used 55/60 gallon tank for $40.00. It's small enough to fit into my stand with the dimensions of 36" X 18 X 20. The skimmer I found is a CoraLife Cone Skimmer for a 300 gallon tank so the skimmer area is going to...

So, I was at Apex Aquariums the other day and talking about my 20 gallon tank and the issue I am having with green hair agile. My CuC is currently 5 turbo snails, 5 hermit crabs, and 2 peppermint shrimp, with the hermit crabs being added about a week and a half ago. The only fish I have is two...

Well, I started up working on my LED fixture. Right now I am using an Arduino UNO as a controller, a real time clock (RTC), and controlling about 80 LEDs. I might end up adding a temperature probe as well to have the Arduino monitor the water temperature as well. However for now I am only going...

So, we went to the frag swap today... We being my wife and I. I bought some peppermint shrimp and some snails. Since this is a FLOWLR tank we were just going to look at the coral but not get any. That is until my wife finds a few that she likes. Then they turn off the white lights and...

I know the club has a Coral CoOp but has anything like a DIY CoOp been considered? While I have plenty of tools, but I hate the idea of buying a "Single" use tool. For instance, I need a glass hole saw so I can drill the back of my tank, but paying that much for a bit that I will only use to...

So what is the difference between the Instant Ocean Sea Salt and the Instant Ocean Reef Crystals? I know it will be different minerals and such but if I am planning on eventually having a reef tank, do I need to use reef crystals? Or is it just a way to get more money for the same thing...
