    Battle: Yuma > Acan

    Never thought of Yumas as 'aggressive', but this morning I found my big orange Yuma 'hugging' my Rainbow Tangerine Acan. I did double take and realized it was a coral battle! Yuma 1 Acan 0 Relocated the Acan and crossing figers it doesn't lose anymore than 1head... Tapa

    Odd Zoa behavior

    A small colony of BamBams has all closed up, for 2days. Top right hand corner is the "unhappy" colony. Yet all other Zoas in the tank are 'happy'. Thoughts? Tapa

    ID help - worm?

    Was checking out the tank with a flashlight last night and spotted a 'new to me' critter. No idea what it is and can't find it on the hitchhiker guides I've looked at. Anybody familiar with this skinny banded worm looking critter? Tapa

    Something still not working with pic attachemnts?

    For some reason, I can't get a pic to show this morning. The loader goes through the motions and then there is no thumbnail and no image inserted :( All my uploaded pics are blank placeholders in the "manage attachments" screen. Something to do with last nights server move???

    Odd tube thing on my dendros

    This is the 3rd day in a row I've found this tube thing on my dendros. The polyp this tube/sack thing is on doesn't want to open, so I've been taking the coral out and scraping it off. Normally they are open like this I recently saw a Bristle worm for the first time in my tank. Wondering...

    Basement sump - Flush plumbing before use?

    I'm near ready to "flip the switch"! I've got SpaFlex run to the basement and all the fittings and valves glued up. Now I'm wondering about the "chemicals" inside the SpaFlex (from it being made) and the PVC Solvent used on the fittings. Thinking about temporarily connecting the 1" Return to...

    Return pump - internal vs submersible

    83 this morning! Progress on basement sump...new electric circuit run...but still need to make up my mind on return pump. Big submersible or drill sump, bulkhead, external pump? Seems way easier to go submersible, I avoid drilling this sweet custom acrylic sump, and less joints to...

    Flower vs weed

    So I've got these small feather duster worms that proliferate and I'm beginning to wonder if they were a mistake :( They came in on a tonga live rock with a bunch of mushrooms and helped the tank look 'more natural'. Now I'm finding egg streams every morning and picking them out of corals...

    So yesterday ComEd decided to turn off my grid while they did some unannounced tree trimming. Tank was off for ~2-1/2hrs! Most things showed stress, including me! But all seemed in full recovery mode this morning. The nem was looking hungry so I fed it before going to work. This evening I...

    Dipping chaeto?

    So, I was thinking about the chaeto ball I just received from another reefer's refugium. In particular, if there are both good and bad hitchhikers! QT threads never say anything about macro... I presume any kind of dip would kill the good guys too, no? Thoughts? In the meantime, my new...
