...there is already a female in the tank? 37gallon cube, 3 different ocellaris. One was big and the female of a mated pair. One was added when her man died. One was added a week after that just for fun. The bigger female caught both of the other ones attention for a couple weeks. But now for...

I just became the proud owner of a mated pair of "Wyoming White" clownfish. I am honestly not a huge fan of clowns, but they look pretty unique. I've never heard of them before. They are in my qt right now and I don't know if i should ever put them in my DT. I already have an onyx clown in...

Today I was picking up a few things from my local Ace Hardware and walked past their $1 bin. They had 4" magnifying glass and it sparked an idea. I picked up one and a 4" pvc coupling. Got home, snapped the handle off the magnifying glass and fit it perfectly in the 4" coupling. A little...

I walked in and Mark was helping out a customer. I was the only otger person in the store and I waited patiently while he did his thing. By the time he finished up there was 2 more custoners that had come in. One was talking loudly on his cell, and the other was obviously a regular customer...

Soooo...been on Chicago Reefs about 5 months and I sort of decided it wasn't for me. Maybe some of you are thinking "Who cares? I don't even know this guy.". That's ok. I just wanted to offer some of my thoughts for consideration. My experience has been lackluster at best. I found out more...

Short of it is my sps is totally fine. Zoas and paly are being pissy. a bunch are inside out, some dont feel like opening, and others seem fine. Water is testing 0 nitrates, ph and alk are good. No way to test phos. One thing I notice every day is that in the am, the substrate is looking...

George the chromis was a little guy. So little in fact, that all the other fish in the reef chased him and bullied him. George always managed to avoid injury. He also made friends with the other chromis. He knew obe day he would get a little bigger and the bullies would leave him alone. One...

About a week ago I posted about a single paly that I cut completely off a rock only to find 2 babies pop up 2 weeks later on the small bit of tissue left on yhe rock. That got me thinking. I have observed an array of physical traits of various palys and zoas such as physical adult size, mat...

I'm sure many have seen this, but it took me by surprise. About 2 weeks ago I had 1 polyp of AoG on a rock with another Paly. I wanted to move the Aog and I cut it off the rock near the base of the stalk. I left a little bit of tissue on the rock and expected it to break down and dissappear...

Well...I woke up today and noticed almost immediately that a few of my fish had some ich. 2 chromis have 3-5 spots, and the firefish has 1. How did this happen? 1. I impulse bought some fish from a lfs that I had never been to. And i didnt have a qt. 2. i tore up my tank hunting a dottyback...

Ok. so all dat yesterday was fine. I get home with a couple free zoa frags, pieces of montipora and a couple mushrooms. The zoas were in rough shape, but most of them will pull through. I top off the tank like i do every night and all is well. 5 hours later half my zoas are going wonky...
