What in the world were they thinking when this smilie was created? Sure it's funny, but I've been waiting for just the right moment to spring this bad boy on someone and the situation has never arisen. So, here goes... :toilet:

I was checking out the tank after the actinics came on and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I'm not sure what it is, but some sort of worm burrowed a hole in the crab's shell and popped out it's fan. It's a hitchhiking hitchhiker!!!!

Well, I decided to try a new route with the cycle for my new 75G FO tank. Here's what I did: 50 lbs of DRY/DEAD rock 40 lbs of DRY/DEAD crushed coral substrate 15lbs of LIVE crushed coral 1 tbsp of MB-7 per day (I wanted to seed the bacteria faster.) 1 raw deli shrimp So, it cycled in 15...

Hey guys & gals, I just rcvd permission from BlakeT to hang up those CR flyers I made in MCF. (I'll bring them tonight.) He also said they'd be happy to display some business cards, if we have any. Do we? I'm leaving for the afternoon and won't be able to look into this but maybe someone else...

Here's the little fellow. He's about 2" and has a nice turquoise outer ring. Ordered him yesterday from Happy Coral. Here's the big brother. Had him since early spring and is about 5" now.

I'll be getting a quarantine tank setup soon for my new fishes. I don't plan on getting fancy, just a basic 20G with an Aquaclear HOB filter. I'll put the filter sponge from the HOB in my 90's sump so it will have all the juicy bacteria on it and be ready to go. One of things I'm curious about...

A few weeks ago I picked up a used 75G RR tank and stand. The stand was pretty rough and had water stains that warped some of the wood. There was also 5 years of salt creep on the inside of the stand that required a power sander to remove! (I tried to chisel off the salt but that hardly made a...

2 days ago my green birdsnest started to bleach. Today, it's totally gone. Now, in the last few hours, my purple haze monti (seen below the bleached birdsnest) has started to bleach!! What should I do. It looks like its spreading fast on the monti. Should I try to break the healthy part away...

Anyone recommend a good brand of paint to paint the back of a tank? I've heard of folks using Rustoleum.... P.S. I picked up my new (used) 75 the other day. I started out looking for something in the 30G range for my office. Next thing I new, I was looking at 125's, LOL. Had to scale it back...

I have been running a Current Nova Extreme Pro 8-Bulb (54W) T5 fixture over my tank with decent SPS growth. However, I just bought a used tank yesterday from a guy and he threw in his MH fixture for free. It's about 5 yrs old. It is a Coralife Aqualight Pro w/ 2 X 150HQI MH's and 2 X 96W 34"...

I'm stoked. The Mrs. just told me I can get another tank for my office as a birthday present! I'm thinking of 30-50G range. I'd prefer to buy a used reef-ready setup. Anyone selling a tank?

Okay, I've been growing monti's like weeds for the last year and recently decided I'm ready to step up my SPS game. (The tank is about 1.75 years old and is a very stable ULNS.) So about 2 weeks ago I picked a blue-tip acro colony (multiple branches and about 4") and a nice green slimer...

For those of you who know a lot about acro's, is there an optimal alkalinity level, or does it matter much as long as it is stable? I keep my tank extremely stable with Ca at 480 and dKh at 11 but I read somewhere else that acro's do best around 8 dKh. Anyone ever hear this?

Kinda cool.... http://www.wimp.com/airswimmers

I thought this was interesting and good to hear... http://marinegeek.com/bb/content.php?143-Interview-with-Brett-from-Animal-Planet-s-new-hit-show-TANKED&

I've now gone through 2 Aqualifters as pumps for my ATO. Anyone recommend a good ATO dosing pump that isn't too expensive (but not as cheap and worthless as the Aqualifter)?

Well, I finally figured out how to manualy adjust the white balance on my camera!! I'm so stoked :) I still have some tweaking to do but here's a few pic's that finally aren't blue...

Well, this might be a stupid question, but I've had my first clam for several months now and he's doing great in my sand bed. However, it seems to be slowing moving from where I placed him. Do these things move around?
