KD frosty, I do find it weird, but then look where he's from Canada Ehhhh. It is a different world up there :hilarious

My opinion is, if you already have LR in your tank. Dry this rock out for a week outside and then put it under your current LR and it will become LR in a few months, that is probably the safest bet. I agree with the testing for copper though. I had about 50lbs of LR and added about 80 of...

the tank itself is 4'X2'X2' but the stand is slightly bigger. It has a little giant pump, but it is sort of loud I need to figure out how to quiet it down any suggestions? PS this is going to be an upgrade from my current 75 reef

I finally plumbed the 120 reef and have it up and running in the garage. Here are some pics. 1-1/2" return pipes, 1" overflows 2-sump 3-returns 4-full frontal shot 5-pump to returns

ok it is a Limpet not a Lichen I am a moron lichens are the fungus that grows on trees. OOps

I may be spelling it wrong though so check.

yup big purple thing in the middle is a Lichen I promise, google it if you don't believe me????? :notsure:

It is not a snail it is a Lichen, most are harmless I have tons in my 75 keep your eyes open I bet there is more. Also check around the rim of the tank I bet you'll find a bunch of empty shells of them there stuck in the salt deposits.

the other looks like it may be a trumpet/candy cane coral. JMO

MIxtimp, You are not alone I have been in the saltwater hobby for about 5 years and I just bought a drilled acrylic tank and have no Idea how to hook it up. I am just doing research and having some local reefers help out. My advice, set it up in the garage (if you have one) and do the trial...

I have had a BTA in my 75 gal for almost two and a half years. It has split about 6 times in the last year. Three times just in the last two weeks. I agree with the pristine water conditions and you need some serious light for them to really thrive. I have 2 65 watt actinics, 2 65watt 10ks...

bang, So yours did eat red bubble?

I am upgrading to a 120 gal soon and I am fighting a large "red" bubble algae epidemic. I have heard that Foxface's occasionally will mow down red bubble algae. Is this true in anyones experience. I have multiple emerald crabs, but they cannot keep up. Also I have a pair of percs, a six line...

I have both in my 75 no problems

Hey you can name him "Bubba Gump", does he eat popcorn scrimp, or scrimp scampi, but sorry I don't know what it is.
