    Going bare bottom on the 180g

    Not new to reefing but this will be the first time I have ever went sand less. I think I am going SPS dominated with this reef. I like the idea of being able to really crank up the flow without causing a sand storm. I also like the fact it is easier to clean. I know I will miss out on some sand...

    salt_for_brains 180g Project

    Alright guys and gals I am starting a new tank. This is totally in its incipient state. I just brought this monster home last night. It is 24" x 24" x 72" which is a great footprint. I have a long way to go before I get water in this thing. I am going to build a new stand and canopy for it. So I...

    Just wanted to share some pics of my visiting hummers. They have to be one of the most territorial creatures on the planet.

    I need HELP!!!!!!!

    Got your attention didn't I:D Seriously though, I have always been fascinated with clown hosting anemones and have successfully kept many over the years. I am in the thought process of turning my 90g into a species tank. My plan is to keep S. gigantea and H. magnifica with a clutch of clowns. I...

    Airborne Clown

    I had an interesting thing happen Sunday afternoon. I was sitting on the couch and I heard a thud like something hit the wall behind the tank. My better half was taking a shower which is directly on the other side of that wall so I thought she may have made the noise. I got up and checked the...

    Shipping a huge Frogspawn

    This thing is really big with 60+ heads, about 10" wide and 12" long. Taking up a lot of real estate. I have two fears: 1) it breaks (which can be fixed) 2) it punctures the bag One fix might be to just put it in a styrofoam cooler, fill the cooler with water and tape it up. Any suggestions or...

    salt_for_brains 90g Reef

    This tank has been running for about 8 years and I have owned for the past 4 years. I started back in 2006 with a 29g Biocube and quickly upgraded to 150g. I sold the 150g to someone that wanted it more than I did :D Then I picked up this tank.:)90g Display Tank 30g Sump Ocean Revive Arctic SO26...

    Lyretail Anthias Trio

    Picked up this trio from a local reefer yesterday. They finally made their way out this afternoon. Hard to show in my pic but they have some beautiful color. As I learn my new Nikon camera I will see if I can do better:thumbsup:

    Lemonpeel Angelfish Experience

    I purchased a lemonpeel three weeks ago knowing the potential of it being a reef wrecker. For 2-1/2 weeks it grazed my 200lbs of live rock and eating everything I fed the tank. Then Sunday it decided to start trying some LPS with just a nip here or there. Started with frogspawn, then tried a...

    FAQ about clown hosting anemones

    I am not an expert nor do I pretend to be one on clown hosting anemones. What I do have is years of research and experience keeping various species of these inverts. I have read a lot of questions on forums including this forum about anemones and I wanted to try and provide a resource for...

    I can't believe my LFS said that????

    I thought it might be amusing and even benficial to start a thread like this for everyone to share some :frustrat: experiences. I was in a big box pet store ( no name calling) yesterday just killing some time and was looking at a very nice Sohal tang when a worker walked up and asked me was I...

    Golden Dwarf Angelfish

    Anyone ever house one of these fish? I figure they would be a lot like the coral beauty or flame angels (except for the price) but wanted to get some personal experiences from anyone that may have owned one.
