Aloha kakou! It's been awhile since I posted anything on the forums here! It's great to see a lot of new and old faces. Hope all is well in everyone's lives and tanks! Well I haven't kept my tank (20L) for awhile now and instead I've been sharing a tank with my girlfriend (12g) with a...

Hey LR! It's been a long time since I've posted on the boards and it's great to see the forums still running in full force. I'm coming back after a long hiatus. I just graduated with a BA-Biology so I was pretty busy this past year. Now I'm back and ready to get back to reefing! I now...

Well I've been noticing a few new burrows in my tank, which seemed out of place. The tunnels gradually got more sophisticated and one day, I see two big ol' eyes staring at me from one of the holes! The bugger is only about half an inch. I actually don't mind him as he does his own thing and...

Hey LR! It's been a super long time since I posted anything! If you feel bored out of your mind take a look at this Canadian guy's 150 gallon tank log. He notes his entire progression and the log itself is very organized. Some day I hope to accomplish the same as him. It's a very great read...

I've been meaning to move my tank around the apartment for some time. The way it stood against the wall of my living room just never seemed appealing. I also been looking at some aquacleaer refugium mods and I must say, it looked very very worthwhile. I picked up an AC 70 and got straight to...

So, I'm starting to pick up stuff from my snorkel adventures. Usually it's for macroalgae or other miscellaneous items. No fish though! My tank is far too small for anything found around here. It does fuel my hunger for a larger tank though. I can't recall how many times a Humu has wedged itself...

Anyone ever use this salt mix? I picked up a bag today and figured I'd try it out since it was even cheaper than Instant Ocean. Plus it's recommended by marine biologists! DANG!

That is all. Now go sell a kidney.

Ph. D in Microbiology, Dr. Tim Hovanec, has put a product that has been proven to completely cycle your new tank in days instead of weeks. So, say goodbye to putting in raw shrimp and watching an empty tank for a month! His nitrifying bacteria has proven to completely establish itself in a tank...

Reefcleaners.org no longer ships to Hawaii. NOOOOOO!!!! :frustrat: Why John?!?! WHY?!?!

Hey forum, I was wondering if it would be worth it to set up a small refugium for my 20 gallon. The dimensions would be roughly 11x11x10 and would sit right below the DT so the head loss would be about 2 ft. I'm currently just running a HOB filter + chemi-pure and and I would like some place...

I walk into the LFS. I spot a wrasse like no other I have ever seen. It resembles the German flag (I take German in college). It flashes it's black fins and tempts my wallet. I ask what kind of wrasse it is and the nice lady says it's sold. I sadly go home and find out this beautiful was only...

Hey forum! I recently bought a bag of chemi-pure for my 20 gallon tank and dropped in the back of my HOB filter. I got tired of having to buy new filters and chemi-pure lasting for a couple months is awesome. :mrgreen: I was wondering if I could go get another additive to control phosphates...

Hey forum! I just reset up my 20 long a month ago and it seems to be running smoothly. I only have a chromis in there at the moment and I must admit, the little guy is pretty awesome. For $5 I would definitely get more if I could. But besides that, I was thinking of my next fish to get. A...

Hey forum! I was wondering about everyone's opinions on Chemi-pure Elite. I've been reading up on it and it says it is also a phosphate remover. I've been debating on whether to get an AC 50 and convert it to a fuge for my chaeto or just buy the chemi-pure elite. I have a small ball of chaeto...

What are your opinions on stocking a clean up crew? I tend to keep mainly snails just because they clean my rocks spotless when they're not being lazy. Hermits just tend to eat my snails for no reason at times. They really lack the ability to determine a good shell size lol.

Well my first coral ever has grown a little since I got it. At first I wanted to let the zoanthids grow out onto a rock then just cut the rock when I needed, but I'm constantly working on the tank and I'd really hate to mess up the scape. So, I broke out some fragging equipment and read a lot...

So, I've recently downgraded from my 20 gal and I'm stuck trying to find a new light for my 10 gal. I've been thinking of just putting the old light fixture on the 10 gal, but it's way too long for the tank. I've also been looking into LED's, especially the par30 and par38 bulbs. Having one...

So I have to restock on salt soon and was wondering if it was worth it to buy it by the bucket. I usually buy the smaller portion of instant ocean but it tends to run out quite quickly. Sometimes some of the salt fails to dissolve also. Thanks forum!

So, I've gone ahead and downgraded from my 20L for a lot of reasons. One of them is space. I had the 20 on my desk and it really took up a lot of work space. Second is that apparently the tank caught a parasite (memo to keep a quarantine tank in the future). Any fish I'd try to add would die...
