What better for my 1000th post than the start of my Nuvo 8 (v2.0) build?! My original nuvo 8 had an unstoppable algae bloom that forced me to rethink some things. So I sold off, PIF'd, or transferred rock, corals, and fish to other reefers and my 75 gal reef and started anew (with the...

I'm one post away from number 1000. It's been a fun ride. I've met so many cool people and learned quite a bit (it's difficult when you already know so much :nerd:). I guess I'm just wondering what post number 1000 should be... And for some reason I find myself asking you guys.

Never really had and astreneas in mah reef, at least none anywhere near this big. It measures at least a nickel in diameter. I have two sand sifters in my tank and the top of this star closely resembles them. This pic has a nice reflection so you can see the top and the bottom of it.

Happy birthday uncle Walt! Hope you have a great day! :birthday:

Happy birthday Dave!

Hey guys. Thought I'd start a thread about my 75 gallon mixed reef. It's been up and running for about a year now and as with many reefs its had it's ups n downs. I'll be posting my equipment and pics from the start of the build up until now coming up soon.

I know it's a bit early, but... Feliz cinco de Mayo!

Sunday April 28th @ 12:30 Two Brothers Roundhouse (http://www.twobrothersroundhouse.com) Come on out for lunch and a craft brew (or two) and chat with some fellow reefers. All local and non-local reefers are welcome. Topics of discussion include a summer mini-swap, local phone tree, and a...

Anyone upgrade to this? Just wondering if it fits well. Seems nice and better quality than the basket the Nuvo 8 comes with. http://shop.mediabaskets.com/Innovative-Marine-8-Media-Basket-IM8MR.htm

I'm planning our next meet up and would like to see more local reefers this time around. Everyone is welcome, however local reefers will be of the biggest benefit. I'm also looking at spicing things up a bit this time around. Maybe a free frag raffle to those in attendance. I hear there's a nice...

Hey everyone. I've had my Apex up and running for about a year. I've never been able to hook it up to the Internet until now. I just moved my wife's office down to the main floor of the house as her previous office is becoming our soon to be baby's nursery. All I need is to get a long...

My fish are believed to have flukes and/or ich. Symptoms started just a few days ago and already two have died. My favorite (and first fish in the reef) contracted it two days ago but has been able to fight it off thus far. For the sake of my fish and to prove/disprove the myths/facts about...

RIP ORA Splendid Dottyback (powerhead) 2/28/13 RIP Melanospilos Angel (fluke) 3/1/13 RIP Bicolor Angel (fluke) 3/1/13 Sad couple of days in the reef :(

I've had 9 fish in my 75 for quite some time. However, it's not for lack of trying to add another. You see, these 9 fish have been healthy and in my aquarium for around 10 months now. A few months back I added an Anthia. It was perfectly healthy and a few days later it was dead. No idea...
