Hello- is it ok to post announcements here regarding upcoming frag swaps for a local reef club? If so, in which forum? Thanks Sula

The Madison Area Reef Society (MARS) cordially invites you to take part in it's annual aquarium coral frag swap. All hobbyists new and old are invited to come trade/swap/sell or just browse a huge variety of hundreds of captive propagated corals from all over the Midwest. Drygoods and used...

So I was looking at my Montis today and realizing how much these frags have grown, I only got them a few months ago. I am almost thinking I need to frag them a little to change the growth pattern, I feel like I'm going to have a "tree" with one skinny little "trunk" . If I snapped a few tips...

Please tell me this won't hurt my elegance!!!

So I have these ocellaris clowns, who live in a mixed reef. There are many potential hosts for these clowns: hammers, frogspawns, torch, leather, brains, zoanthids, an elegance (very glad they don't use it) and even 2 RBTAs. My clowns ignore all these potential dwellings, and choose to inhabit a...

Anyone do this? Any tricks to this to make it work?

So it being a holiday yesterday, all the shops were closed. This of course did not stop me - I got wind of someone selling off all his corals. I would have been happy with pretty much anything from his tank, he had so much really nice stuff, but my focus for the day was Zoanthids, so here is...

Your opinion please - sorry for the crappy picture, my camera REALLY needs replacing!! On the left are Purple Deaths, on the right are Goochsters. In your opinion, are they truly different from Armor of Gods? To me, they really look the same. Does anyone have both these zoas so we can compare...

My very first saltwater tank was a 10g, set up in August 2004. Thank goodness I soon found this site to help me figure things out! I had 2 Ocellaris Clowns and softies, and was completely thrilled when the clowns chose the Green Star Polyps as their surrogate anemone:

Hello all - One of my personal goals is to get my fish to breed. My clowns are being stubborn, so I'm thinking my Banggai has a better chance. Last summer, I got 2 baby Banggai from someone in my reef club whose cardinals had produced....I introduced them to my tank and all was well. They hung...

For any one in our area , mark your calendars now for the upcoming MARS Frag Swap on Jan 27. Location and other specifics are still to be finalized, but the date has been set. Additional details will be posted as they become available.

I need to build a 5 foot stand and would like it to have no center leg to accomodate my sump. I'm just wondering whether this will be a problem? Also, would building it using 2x4s suffice or do I need more? What I am trying to deal with is a tank with a 60x18 footprint and a sump with a 36x18...

I am planning my sump for my new tank. The tank is a 100g acrylic with a center overflow box. The overflow has two 1-1/2 inch drains. The guy I bought it from only used one of the drains, but I'd like to use both. I am considering having one drain go to the skimmer section of the sump, the other...

Every weekend after my water change I fill my bucket with RODI water for the next change. Sometimes I add the salt then, sometimes I wait. This weekend I thought I still had to add the salt so did so, and this morning checked the salinity and it was 1.055 sg :scared: Which tells me I must have...

There are 3 old threads on this message board in which I've posted my email address. I cannot edit them, I'm assuming because of their age. Is this something a moderator can edit?

I've been thinking for awhile of making my own fish food, and have confiscated a few jumbo shrimp and scallops for that purpose. I have been feeding flake(spirulina) in the morning and mysis at night. Well, as of this morning I have no more flake. My dog obviously didn't appreciate waiting for...

I've been doing a long overdue job of cleaning today and also am due for a water change in my tank. I'm sitting here thinking "Gee, traces of PineSol on my hands is probably not a good thing" I've also seen references to Windex being dangerous to your tank inhabitants. Can someone tell me how...
