Who dumped $65 of reef addiction cash on Skyrim? 2 days and I am starting to regret not stopping on my way home to snag a copy to play while my kid is napping. Im sure its worth the money compared to most of the muck thats been released lately, but, REEF MONEY..... NO SPOILERS, just discuss...

So yea, I just found one of these, and it's a magnificent specimen. Absolutely beautiful, and I can't wait for this beauty to finish its solitary stint in QT. I knew I was taking a risk on this guy being NOTORIOUSLY more difficult to acclimate than their more common powder brown cousins, but...

Just curious if anyone has experience with safely removing soft tube feather duster worms from rocks they have already grafted onto. I would like to remove two very large ones (3"+ across) from my rocks because they are in the way of a couple good spots for some new frags to be placed. I do...

Now that I have your attention... Smallest blue tang I have ever seen, maybe 1 1/4" tip to tip. Since the BC14 is empty now other than a few last things to move over, I figured it makes a perfect holding place for the little guy for a week before its taken to its new home in KennyT's reef...

I would like to congratulate LilBamBam and Mrs. BamBam on their newest addition! Yesterday they welcomed their third healthy little girl into the world! One more happy, healthy child joins an already fantastic family! She is definitely a lucky little one! Here's a pic he just sent over...

Since setting up a fuge with my current equipment is out of the question. Won't fit under the stand and understandably the misses doesn't want it sitting out in the open for multiple reasons. I did the next best thing and ordered myself a BRS dual reactor, and starter quantities of Rox 0.8...

Getting this project started now that KennyT's 40 breeder reef is complete and running, and we got the 29g upgrade up and running over this past weekend. Equipment: Aqueon 20g Long FishNeedIt 150w MH w/ Phoenix 14k CPR Bakpak w/ modded MJ1200 MJ900 for circulation All-Glass 150w heater Approx...

How bad would it be on my DI resin if I were to run about 55-60 gallons thru it to fill up a new build? I really don't want to disassemble the entire RO system to take with me for the weekend, would like to just take the DI with my extra tubing and faucet adaptor and run it off a bathroom sink...

What a way to end the night, couldn't have had better timing! Literally one day after bringing home my new pair of snowflake clowns for my reef tank, my skunk cleaners decided to spawn! So now I have a tank flooded with baby shrimps floating everywhere, and tons of them keep floating into the...

This is not so much a guide as it is a "look-what-i-can-do". Since the fiancee is ready to move on up (from the east side...) from her current 14 gallon BioCube, I decided that since we needed to replace the bulbs in the 29 anyways, I might as well set her up with some decent lighting from the...

Curious if anyone has input if this will work? The sump in discussion: What I am interested in doing is adding a baffle plate that would basically flood the "wet/dry" section of the sump to just below where the filter pad rests near the top at the end of the unit, and running a grow light on...

I am hitting a dead end trying to ID this fish. I assume it is a wrasse since the previous owner said thats what they bought it labeled as. The fish is a little stressed from the move into a 10 gallon QT and no sand to bury itself into, however, the fish is 5-6 years old and has always been...

Well i figured its about time I got a picture up. Just took this pic shortly after acclimating a proper cleanup crew for this tank, I figured 6-7 blue leg hermits were NOT going to be enough for this tank on sunday night after we got it all moved in and running. Took advantage of Aquarium...

Not sure what to make of this, found it bothering my Duncan when I got home from work today, took a few pics to see if anyone could ID what it is and how to take care of the situation...

9 frags shipped priority usps, looks like 0/9 melted in shipping. Amazing a few of them started opening up as soon as they were out of their shipping bags. All in all, I'm not disappointed with the deal, if one does kick the bucket, 8/9 is still pretty good for what I paid for them all! 5...

Just wanted to say hi! Looking forward to my time here. I joined CMAS at the frag swap a few months ago. Since then I now have an overstocked (corals, not fish) 14 gallon Biocube. Planning to go to the 29 gallon Biocube soon until I can make the room for a 4' wide reef tank in my living...
