    Is this a baby brittle star?

    This is literally the size of the tip of a ballpoint pen. Only reason I saw it was because I was going start cleaning the tank. I don't think it is really blue, it looks more crystalline

    What a Jawbreaker really looks like :)

    I couldn't help myself and bought a colony of Jawbreakers to get at the fully colored mother. Expect to see a couple of smaller ones for sale soon :)

    Rich's SF Build

    Well I moved away, but that don't mean a thing. So I did a lot of thinking about what I like and don't like in a tank and came up with the following: 1) I wanted an All-In-One style tank. 2) I wanted to keep it shallow 3) I wanted it to be more of a top down view than a side view 4) I...

    Space Invader Pectina Feeder Tentacles

    Just wanted to post a cool picture showing how long these feeder tentacles can get. I guess it is also a FYI incase anyone is thinking of buying one to put in a small tank. The colony is pushing 3 1/2 to 4 inches and the feeders are crazy long. Look in the top left corner of the picture to...

    Zoa IDs for two morphs

    Hey guys, I've had these two morphs in my system for over 8 months now with almost no growth. They just started to bud off a few babies and I was wondering if any one could id them. These pics are as close to true colors as I could get with the dslr. I'm happy with the accuracy. #1 #2. The...

    Rich's Frag Tank Build

    Picked up a pretty nice 24"x24"x8" frag tank from Dave over at Aquapros during MACI. Ended up building my own stand and hanging fixture for BadGus' smaller LED set-up. I wasn't planning on running with a sump initially since I was mainly going to growing out my Palys and a few chalices...

    Where to drill for overflow

    I picked up a nice frag tank from Dave over at Aquapros during MACI. It wasnt drilled, but it did have the skimmer box inside (about 3"x4"). The tank itself is an acrylic 24"x24"x8" so I don't have much vertical space to work with. I plan on plumbing it into a 20gal sump. I was planning on...

    I don't get my Chemistry

    So I just picked up a Salifert set of test kits because something was "off" in my tank. So here is what I got: Mg - 1605 Ca - 540 KH - 17.0 dKH pH - 8.12 I don't have any fish in the tank at the moment, but the softies and polyps I have all look "good". Good polyp extension and color. I...

    Moving Corals out of an Ich tank

    I have a few things in my DT that I would like to move out for various reasons. Since I found out the tank had Ich I moved all of the fish to hypo-salinity QT. That DT has been empty of fish for almost two weeks. I know coral can't get it, but that doesn't mean that it can't carry it over to...

    Frag Tank Advice

    I'm in the process of setting up a frag tank. I'm planning on a 24x24x8 tank. I'm planning on keeping Zoas/Palys and possibly some LPS. I was going to keep the tank BB so I figured I'd also run a sump with a fuge. My question is, because its mostly zoas do I need a protein skimmer? I have a...

    Rich's 12G Nano DX

    I've been around for a little bit and have finally gotten my tank to where I want it. Thought I'd post a FT shot or two since I've stocked with stuff from a lot of you guys. I've done a few mods to the tank. Added a 900MJ to the return. Took at the stock PC lighting and added a dual...

    Xenia Problems

    I have a nice sized toadstool that I picked up and it had some xenia growing at the base of the rock. I just noticed today that the xenia is growing up the base of the toadstool. Any way the xenia will choke out the toadstool?

    Very interesting hitchhiker?

    So I've had a large piece of Fiji live rock sitting in a bucket of cold saltwater for atleast a month. It was pretty clean looking (almost white) and I didn't see anything of concern. Four days ago I put it into my Nano and everything seemed fine. Two days later I had a peppermint shrimp dead...
