    Bicolor Blenny

    I finally got a Bicolor Blenny. Drip acclimated for at least 90 minutes before putting him in my DT with the lights off. After a few hours, lights came on and he seems to be making himself right at home. He's out and has plenty of places to hide. My question is about feeding. Up until now I...

    I Think I made a Big Mistake

    I have a bad feeling I made a mistake. I had some bubble algae coming up and I let my LFS talk me into 2 Emerald Crabs. They were cheap and I bought them. After the 3rd day in the tank, the bubble algae was gone and I kept thinking to myself, wow this is great, but now I'm noticing when I...

    I was searching threads about HOB refugiums when I came across a comment that said it would be cheaper and work just as well to buy an Aquaclear Power Filter 70 (I have a 28gal JBJ Nanocube) to use as one.

    Living in Florida and growing up in South Florida, I watched a lot of dredging and channels widened to expand the beaches and allow for bigger freighters. I read this article today and it struck me as very sad even though they plan to move these corals and reef's. To you veteran's of the coral...
