    Yule gift

    I am trying to come up with a idea on something saltwater or reef related to get my husband for Yule. Any ideas? I thought about a gift certificate, but I kinda would like to get him a coral. ~Nyckee~

    Flow question

    We have a 29 gallon nano reef and I was wondering how many power-heads we should have. All our corals are doing fine, but we have a spot in the tank no matter how we situate the power-heads that has little to no flow. The tank has 2- Koralia 750 (I think) in it. Right now we are trying to get...

    Sick of Stupid Fish

    I am so sick of buying suicidal fish. We started out with 2 clowns and a 6 line wrasse. One wedged himself head first into the protein skimmer intake---subsequently offing himself. So I went and bought a new clown and while I was there I bought a Diadema basslet. All is well for a few months and...

    Problem with my Chalice

    We noticed the skin looked flaky the other day so we moved it under the ledge a bit more. By morning patches of skin were missing and parts of it's skeleton are exposed. We think it may be reacting to the lighting, but did the acclimation and it was fine after we finished for a week or so. What...

    Heading to Chicago Tuesday to celebrate Bday and Anniversary

    Tuesday Nate and I are heading to Chicago to go to the Shedd Aquarium and a few LFS. We will probably be buying a new fixture for the 29 gallon tank and finally get the stand for the 20 so I can start mine. We are excited to go to the Shedd... we haven't been there since we got married 5 years ago.

    A Move

    Hey! We moved back in February and our tank still hasn't quite bounce back. Only a very little of our Coraline Algae has come back. Does anyone have any secrets or tricks they are willing to share that might make our tank come back to life so to say. Even my Zoas that were growing like weeds are...

    Pricing ?

    I am not sure where to post this. As of now, I have yet to sell any corals. I am having a hard time figuring out how much I should list certain things as. I have a colony that I think I may sell because I just don't like them. What would you guys price these as?

    Skunk Cleaner

    Has anyone ever had a Skunk Cleaner jump out of their tank? Back before we put the glass top on we had one jump out of the tank. Before I get another one I want to know if this is common.
