new things growing and showing. I added a frag of gsp 8 days ago and now have gsp popping up in 4 different places on my rocks and just found a group of zoas on another rock.

Thanks for the imput, Im not a fan of being pinched... but I do hate this hair algae. I started a refugium with the hopes that it would boost my pods and suck the nitrates. Seth, I have spent a lot of time reading your build threads (very informative) and I am digging your ats. Here are my ?s 1...

I like critters, im pretty sure that they are reef safe and non agressive and I have a little hair algae that they may be hungry for.

I actually expected to hear that about the hippo tang so Im not to bummed If I get one which is unlikely it would only be for a little while while he is a juv. then I would give him to a buddy that has a 300 fowlr. I have the sump loaded up with some calurpa that has pods in it and the mandarin...

90 gal drilled to a 29 gal sump running ro water. I have a reef octopus 150. 130 lbs of lr, 80 lbs of ls. The tank is 3 weeks old cycle has been complete for a week. I dont want to add these dudes all at once just dont want to get the meanest one first and end up with a bully.

Happy Friday fish fans! This sunday I am going to be hitting up my lfs and it is likely that I will be bringing home a new friend. I wanted to ask you guys what the best order of entry would be for my stock list based on aggressiveness and just what will in your opinions be the friendliest way...

Thanks for taking the time to post the pics and details. That is a nice setup. I made my refugium tonight, I have a deep sandbed along with the live rock and i added the cheeto as well. Mine is a lot smaller but will have to do the trick until I can macgyver something more fitting. I am curious...

here is a look at my sump. the area beside the skimmer that is full of rock is what I am thinking about turning into the fuge. Here is the plan I want to remove the majority of the rock and put that in the chamber beside it. I will leave the5 inch sand bed and put a bunch of cheato and a light...

He is living in a calm chamber of my sump for now and is soon to be donated to my lfs

This morning I woke up to a "concerned" wife and a throaty magpump blowing air noise. My stupid skimmer started fountaining water over the side of my sump dumping about 5 gallons on the floor... 5 new gallons and several towels later I am thinking about doing a gate valve mod on the skimmer...

Great news in fishtank town, Larry Darryl and Darryl (my 3 chromis) are over the shock, out of the corner, eating like horses and swimming playfully. Thanks for the good advice.

That is a sweet looking tank! How is your refugium looking after a year? if you could post a couple pics of how you set it up that would be very helpful, I just started up a 90 and the limited cabinet space is kind of...well limiting. I really like your skimmer outside the sump setup btw your...

Thanks guys, I hope everything is ok they seem to be about the same but I remain optimistic. is the whole nose to the sky balance issue is not uncommon for fish after some highly traumatic tank shifting and damsel assualt?

I have copepods now but not enough, I am looking at some dif ways to make a refugium and I think that should rally my copepod production, everytime I write that word I think of cocopuffs and now I am hungry again.

GeoJ, That was very interesting, informative and amusing, I would like to add that if anyone is doing a scotch driven frag making session locally please invite me and I will bring the rubber gloves at the very least!

will these guys hurt my tank? When they die off do they release their poison? I dont want something in my tank that is going to be harmful, I have enough challenges on my own!

Good call Bangguy it is most def a stomatella. I may have been off a bit on size...when I saw it it was brief and he quickly disappeared. Actually havent seen him since.
