I've had a reef almost 15 years, but made an elementary mistake. I added a naso tang to my 252g reef. The naso apeared in perfect shape. within 2-3 day my yellow eye tank was plastered in ich then my yellow tang and the naso got it. The other tangs were in perfect health. The yellow eye died and...

I know hydnophora is somewhat toxic, but over the years this peice I have has gotton huge, really huge, was wondering if its possible its poisoning my tank. 252g dt 100g sump. two other things I discovered today, the RO/DI was dripping from the spout, so in other words non-filtered water been...

I'll never use acrylic again. I swear a fart would even scatch it !

Was wondering when some you get your fish from fed-x how long after that do start to drip for acclimation, ofcourse the sooner the better, but I'm in a situation where it may be several hours after I get my fish from fed-x that I will be home. If the fish were sent yesterday how much time do I have?

Was wondering if anyone out there was keeping multiple tangs in their reef such as yellows, purples and blues together. I'm getting ready to restock my 250g after a massive power outage and lost all my fish and about 2/3 of my corals

Was on a once and a lifetime trip to Maui to do some snorkling when a dual disaster hit. Maui was a total loss a storm kicked up the first day we were there and browned all the water around the island so diving was out the second day I started getting calls from back home(washington State) that...

I posted awhile back about product disapointment and failure and how back-up is critical for the unexpected crash. Tonight I get home walk into the room and couldnt help but notice that everthing in my 252gal DT was dying and the fish would hardly move. Only a couple things came to mind that...

I know there has been much debate on this subject, and a reefers worst nightmare is bringing a new fish into a trouble free reef and having an Ich breakout. Quarenteen is the answere that makes the most sence to me. So, here"s the question. Is it true that fish have ich on them all the time like...

Thought I was really stepping up abouta year ago when I went from a 150g glass to 252g acrylic. The cool thing about acrylic is looking at all the new scratches that the tank is getting weekly. Deosnt matter how extra careful you are or what you use to keep it clean. Wonder what it will look...

I gotta say the one thing that will finally get my goat and run me away from this hobbie is product failures! Ive had salt-water for about 15yrs and reef tanks for about 12yrs and totally love the art of it all. My curresnt reef is 252gal with a dual sump system that adds another110gal or so. A...

Can you guess what I made out of shop scraps? I'll post the final pics at the end of the afternoon :joy:

I wanted everyone to see this hyndophora attack this star polyp. Check out the web it shoots out. It does it about two or three times per month. The other pic is of a trumpet its the size of of vollyball. The other is clown that doesnt sit still for the camera till about 25 tries later lol

Camera check

Here's the hood pics for the 350g system I tried to build the hood for conveinence. There's the top quick access lid and then the entire hood lifts up as well. Because I have my hands in the reef it seems like every day I wanted to figure out a way to get the entire hood out of my way with...

My display tank is a 252g acrylic, I like it, but a person really has to be careful not to scratch it when cleaning the algea of the front. I dont really trust the mag float cleaner anymore its to easy to get a piece of coraline algea trapped inbetween the magnet and acrylic and scratch the...

On a thread recomended by Bang, it says when storing kalkwasser to not let air into the container, I understand why. My question is are they talking about the container that is currently driping or another container used for longer term storage?

I hope these pics turnout. Its wild, the hyndophora(left) is attacking the star polyp(right), it shoots out a very defined web about every ten days or so. The other pic is a trumpet, it drips off a peice about once every two weeks and starts a frag on the sand below, this peice was grown from...

Couple a tank pics still working on making the pics better. Any secretes?

I'm trying to get this camera thing down,
