It is with great pleasure to announce that Walt (KeishaKornbread) has accepted a spot on the CR team! He will be our Social Director and will be involved with all things fun and "social". We are all looking forward to many good things to come for the Chicagoland reefing community as a result...

Now that I have your attention (unless you're too young or lame to know who NWA was, :lol:).... I was thinking that it is a pretty good idea to form a regional group of reefers, much like there are in other areas around. (Like the Midway group and the new Aurora group, only we have the coolest...

Just saw in Exotic's monthly newsletter that they have a pair of Crosshatch Triggers! I might have to take a ride up there today to see them. I wish I had a bigger tank (and I wish my wife didn't see the price for the pair...$600...she now has an idea of how much they cost now which is going to...

So a couple weeks ago I upgraded my reflectors to LumenMax Elite's and I'm running radium 20k bulbs now. I have them mounted inside my canopy 9" from the water surface.There is a very visible difference using these reflectors. Not only is it much brighter but there is also more pop from the 20k...

Anyone seen one of these around at any LFS's?

Okay, So today I put up my new LumenMax Elite reflectors with 2 new Radium 20K bulbs. Anyone have any idea why the bulb on the right looks good and the one on the left looks like a yellow 10k ...?

I'm wondering if I introduced a Flame Angel into my fowlr would my Regal Angel care? The Regal is such a timid fish. Anyone ever try this...?

In February, the Journal of Parasitology reported on an interesting case of a Korean woman and her squidy meal: "Penetration of the oral mucosa by parasite-like sperm bags of squid: a case report in a Korean woman." Here's the situation: the unidentified Korean woman, age 63, parboiled...

I've had this butterfly in QT for a couple weeks and by most accounts he's eating very well and not breathing fast, but there have been white spots at the very end of his tail fin and the very ends of his pectoral fins. I don't see any white spots anywhere else on the body. The fish is very...
