Hey guys... I was going through some old images and wow is it amazing how things change so gradually you forget how they used to be (like your neighborhood... and your corals!). This is one of my favorite acroporas that was received as a frag of a wild colony (that has since passed in a buddie's...

Well, it's been about six months since I've had my regal angel and he continues to show what a wonderful specimen he is. This fish was always one of the "unkeepables" when I got in the saltwater hobby 15 years ago in middle school. Better collection practices, husbandry, technology and other...

Someone posted an image of my tank as their own in the thread here and I'd like it edited. I'm not sure what the prcedure is in dealing with certain people on this board, but lately there has been alot of problem people, including this guy who took an image from my post of my tank under 225...

Well within the past week I've completed the series and now have all five major species of Tridacna clams after adding the true Gaint Clam (T. gigas) and finally found a colored teardrop maxima for a reasonable price (relatively). The day after I received the gigas our local club had a reef...

For the second time in a row at two different Walmarts I got carded when buying superglue. Even if buying just one little four gram bottle you must be 18 now... I'm only 26 and am familiar with huffing (not first-hand), but I bet pretty soon we'll be required to show ID with candy purchases...

I was recently lucky enough to be sent to Guam (Micronesia) for business for two weeks. One of my coworkers is also a certified diver and so we took full advantage of being on the island. The project I'm on will require travels to Guam, Hawaii, and five other locations about every 9 months and...

Hey guys... I've profiled my 10 gallon kitchen nano and 54 gallon corner mixed reef, and now am finally getting around to the 65 sps tank. Here are the specs... Tanks: 65 gallon AGA with standard 20 gallon adjoining frag tank and 20 gallon sump Lighting: 2x250 watt DE ushio 10k in reef optix 3...

Many of you remember my true black Solomon Island percula named Jerry from my kitchen nano. Well, a couple of months ago he got a mate (not sure which will go female as they are about the same size), and yesterday they got a true home aside from their frogspawn. The direct importer I go to got a...

I've had a group of 11 orange-lined cardinals (Apogon cyanosoma) in my sps reef for quite some time now, and yesterday I noticed one was not eating. Usually these guys are like little tuna attacking the turkey baster when I feed. I looked to see that indeed one of the males was carrying eggs...

Last year I upgraded my 10 gallon kitchen nano to a 65 gallon with a 20 gallon frag tank. Three months ago I also set up a 54 gallon corner in my wife and I's apartment for all of the zoos and softies, and a few choice hard corals. Many of the corals you'll recognize from my nano (thread here )...

At the end of January I came across this guy at a local wholesaler/retailer who brings in directly from all over. He was shipped out of Jakarta, Indonesia, and between myself, my buddy, and the two owners we'd all never seen this species before. I took him for a cool $48. After some research, my...

I'm no Ryebread, but sitting here bored on a Friday afternoon I began looking through some actinic shots I took in January of my 65... Soon I'll start a thread on it with full tank pics and specs. Enjoy... Pics to come...

I've sent three e-mails to this address. Two of them were sent Monday and another yesterday, and I have yet to get a response. They are specific questions regarding stock at SWF.com. Is this typical? What is their phone number if I need to get in touch with someone? While I've been a member of...

Last night saw major news in my 10 gallon nano. For a while now my prized Acropora cerealis and a wicked yellow encrusting montipora were slowly inching towards eachother in growth. I've got many things doing that but this had me concerned the most. I got a tiny frag of the monti thinking it was...

Two weeks ago I finally found the species of pistol shrimp I've been looking for for my watchman goby. It's the bullseye pistol (Alpheus soror). This is the clearest shot I've gotten of him. I put him in and he immediately scared away the watchman. It took a few days but the watchmen returned to...

Woo hoo a nano forum! It's about time. I've been meaning to put together some shots to show the progress of my tank, and seeing the new nano forum motivated me to do it. Anyone with a nano knows that the hobby get's more challenging as you go smaller in some respects, and that general reefing...

I just got an e-mail from one of my LFSs and this was included in the message... it's started already... Countless goldfish are lost, and now apparently clownfish are appropriate for "any child". Here's the message from a very prominent store... "After you watch the new Disney movie, Finding...

I thought I would share with you guys the awesome news I recently learned. In May I am travelling to Pearl Harbor for 1 full week for work on Uncle Sam's dollar. The neat thing is that I'm taking along the wife, and we're staying 4 extra days, and all we have to pay for are the extra days and my...

Check out this shot I got of my 10 gallon...

While it's only about a 1 1/2" frag, it's in the perfect shape of a larger table colony, and it's exciting news in my 10 gallon nano! You could also see to the right some red digitata I put in a few weeks ago...
