More bad news for reefs that have been plagued by this invasive species. http://blog.aquanerd.com/2014/06/lionfish-shown-to-tolerate-freshwater.html

Decided to finally do something about the blue green cyano growing in my office Betta tank. I get great growth on all of the plants, plenty of new leaves, and have to trim often, but something in the water/light/etc is growing this blue-green slime. No one in the office, or any of my clients...

jrpark22000 Interesting article about coral feeding, thought you would be interested since we were talking about it before: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/blog/feeding-juvenile-corals-brine-shrimp-drastically-increase-their-growth

Looks like someone at EcoTech messed up and launched the web page early. It is now taken down, but some of the info can still be found in the "cached" google site: looks interesting, right around the same time that the Ecotech/AI group announced the Hydra 26.

Was just looking around RC and found a link to this guide: http://www.lionfishlair.com/hitchhiker/hitchhiker.shtml the whole site is good, but this is a particularly good segment. Excellent Hitchhiker Guide

Home depot now carries Black and Colored PVC in multiple sizes. Ship to store is free on all of it if they don't carry it locally. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Phone connectivity is working now, but I still have an intermittent connectivity issue on this site (and only this site). For 10-20 seconds at a time I'll get the following errors (Computer and Phone, WiFi and Cellular, Multiple Locations): not sure what is going on, but again it is only...

I saw a post on another forum about your customer appreciation day. Is that specific to that forum or an open event? I'll most likely already be in Milwaukee that weekend. Thanks!

Is it a requirement that feedback threads be positive? It seems kind of counterproductive to lock every feedback thread with a negative comment. Most forums I'm on (in multiple hobbies) leave a single thread open for each member which includes both positive and negative (if any) feedback for...

Anyone have any experience with a totally silent small (think Pico size-ish) return pump/powerhead? Something in the 200-400gph category? Planning to set something up shortly but it needs to be almost silent.

Looking to see what kind of biopellets you run in your reef tank, what type of reactor you use, why type of pump drives your reactor, and WHY you chose that brand of biopellets over any other. Please try and be specific in your answer i.e. organic makeup of the biopellet, length of time before...

I know the crash has put a damper on everything, but whats the word on the T-Shirts?

This post is continuously edited with information about my nano tanks. The rest of the thread will have details about the tanks. SPS Tank Equipment Peninsula Drilled 20g Long (30"x12"x12") 10g Sump w/3 sections - Skimmer --> Fuge --> Return DIY T5 Retrofit w/ATI Ballasts and TEK Reflector...

While looking for a skimmer for my new set-up (20g with 10g sump), I came across these skimmers. They are all basically Bubble Magus/SWC clones and run the same pumps. I currently own the SC-65 which is IDENTICAL (even the pump) to the Bubble Magus NAC3.5 but only costs $79.99 and I am very...

Saw this one over on Reef Central: Facepalm Smiley: any way to get it added to the list. Just don't make sure to drop the llama!

Just though this could be a fun one. Just take a screenshot of your desktop whenever you change the background and post it up. PLEASE no Mac/PC/Other talk!

Anyone interested in doing a group buy with Premium Aquatics in the city? I need some live rock rubble but would love to not pay shipping. If anyone else is interested pick up would be next Thursday in Lincoln Park.

So I'm going to start this thread to journal my Bubble Tip Anemone keeping and propagation adventure. I'm setting up a dedicated propagation system soon, but for now just some photos of what I currently have. The only anemones that I am actively looking for right now are a true yellow lemon...

I think I'm going to make some sort of cool design with my live rock now that the coral is gone and I don't need so much horizontal space. I was noticing today that the entire top 1/2 of my tank is open wasted space and all of my fish tend to stay down by the rock structure. Trying to open...

I'll get some better photos of all my nems in the next few days when they are opened up and I have time to mess with the white balance on the camera. The famous local "Sunburst" from Crooks (this one looks WAY better expanded and with a proper white balance): Flame Tip from Aquapros:
