My bettas have been spawning in my tank for several months now. The eggs have hatched twice, and I have not had any of the fry survive. I'm still working on that. The last batch of eggs disappeared three days ago, no fry. I walked by the tank tonight about 730pm and saw them in the nest doing...

I was gone for a while. I started a new job. Not really a new job, same job, but I work for a different agency now. You know, more money, better benefits etc etc. Anyway....I'm back. Look forward to chatting about reefs again. Fill me in on what I've missed the last couple months. hehe

I forgot to ask, do you have any new branches growing out on your frogspawn? It looked AWESOME on the pics you posted. I also saw you're selling your pc hood, did you get your mh's up and running? How are your corals reacting to that? Sorry for all the questions.

What a bummer morning! Came home this morning after work, and was doing my maint. before lights on. I saw my tank raised hippo dead, my flame hawk, and dragonette. I was really bummed. Then I calmed a bit and tested water. ammo - 0 / nitrite - 0 / nitrate - 5-10 / Ca - 490-ish / Alk -...

I just fragged some stuff out of my tank. I did a frog spawn, many 'shrooms and my clot twice. I will try to post some pics today for you guys. My buddy helped out with mine, and we're going to do his stuff tonight. I'll get pics of that too, so maybe we can start a photo log of how and what...

Anyone out there have one of these? How is it working for you (gunk pulling, noise and cleaning) and what pump are you using for it? I'm in the market for a new skimmer and am curious. Thanks.

You have mail.

If you have some kind of media in your sump, like crushed coral, shells or sand, I would not siphon it off. It will build up as your bio-filter. After a while you will have tons of life in the sump. Little worms, snails and all kinds of stuff. Anyway, you can throw a whole bunch of macro...

Ok, for those of you who have drilled tanks and such....I am ready to start drilling the bottom of my new tank and plumb in two spray bars to be run by 2 separate pumps. The tank has a built in overflow and return, but the return doesn't produce the flow I want, and I do not want to put ph's in...

Anyone run these? Mr. Salty maybe? If so, have you found them to be an additional heat source even though they are an external pump? Do you use one to run your skimmer, or are they just for returns and circulation?

Here is another pro-silica sand article, for those of us who advocate silicate based DSB's. <a href="http://www.reefs.org/library/article/r_toonen9.html" target="_blank">http://www.reefs.org/library/article/r_toonen9.html</a>

Hey Eric, What kind of elegance did you get? Any pics? How did you acclimate them? How are they doing so far? What do you feed? Just curious. That's cool they sent you 2, nice bonus!

I would like to get one, but have no idea what to feed. I don't have any corals like them in my tank. I am curious as to what, and how, those that have them, feed them. I can't imagine feeding it silversides, krill etc, like I do all my lps and anemones. I know they have long sweepers at...

Upgrading to a 140! Bought it today. Couldn't pass up the deal. Guy custom ordered a tank and then didn't want it. I was at the right place at the right time. Brand new, still in the shrink wrap, 140 acrylic - $350. Getting some stuff drilled on it, and the stand built. Wife and I wanted...

Found this link on another board and thought I'd share the link as there are increasing posts reference using different kinds of sand for DSB's. <a href="http://www.rshimek.com/reef/sediment.htm" target="_blank">http://www.rshimek.com/reef/sediment.htm</a> The article is by Dr. Ron Shimek as you...

I made some rock about a week ago with portland white cement, and was wondering how long I need to let it cure before I put it in the toilet tank to cure in H2o? Anyone done this before? The rocks turned out really nice, and I don't want to ruin them by curing them in water too soon.

Anyone want to trade something for a NICE tank raised hippo? He's getting big for my 80 reef. Eats like a PIG, no probs with ick, won't touch greens or selects. He loves squid and krill soaked in zoe, actually he likes anything soaked in zoe. :D He's probably close to 4-5". Excellent...

Anyone out there be interested in posting what corals they fragged / propped. 1. What it was 2. How you did it 3. What materials you used, glue, zip ties, cheese cloth etc. 4. Re-attachment to lr etc. 5. outcome, problems, thing you'll do different next time etc. Maybe it could be it's own...

Anybody out there have a 155 bow? I am currently in a 80 bow, and want to upgrade. But both my wife and I really like the bow front. If anyone has one, what brand, dimensions, stand, hood etc. And cost. If you don't feel like posting the cost, my email is on my profile. Thanks!!! :D

Today while eating dinner, I saw my bubble tip looked kinda funny. He was really stretched out along the rock work, and looked kinda funny. I looked a bit closer and saw there was a very large disc area and no foot under the whole thing. It split! Now I have two! I had noticed it had not...
