    Just wanted to say goodbye for now...

    Well, my tank sold over the weekend, and is now in a new home in San Diego. I am a bit nostalgic about it, but happy nonetheless. I think the new owner will do fine, and I think the fish are in good hands. So, at least for now my SWF tank days are on hold. I just wanted to thank everyone who...

    Many of you know I am selling my 100g Reef Tank. I posted an ad for it in the Recycler for my area. I have gotten several emails from people in which I question the validity. I had an email from someone in Greece, saying they have a shipping agent that will pick it up. Another was from some...

    Time to sell my tank...

    Well, I've enjoyed this hobby for several years now, and love my tank. But despite that, things in my life have changed and I just don't have the time or the money for it anymore. My 6 month old daughter takes up the time I used to spend on my tank, and that always comes first. I posted my...

    Anyone have pics of baby sally lightfoot crabs?

    The other day I noticed for the first time a tiny crab in a large hole in my live rock. In total, legs and all, it was about the size of a fingernail. The claws were the same length as the legs unlike a sally, but the markings were similar (bands on the legs and claws). It was picking off of...

    My poor fire shrimp!

    Woke up yesterday morning, to find a huddled mass of hermits, sally's, nassarious snails, and my brittle star munching on something. Moved closer to see it was my fire shrimp! I don't know whether it died of natural causes, or if something got a hold of it. But it's been in there for a...

    SCWD - Stopped alternating!

    Title says it all...It was working fine, and one day I came home, and the return was a constant flow out of one side only. I pulled my return apart, and ran some fresh water through the SCWD, and now it is a constant flow out of both sides. But it doesn't alternate! Anyone else ever had this...

    Well, I am really upset. I am renting a house that is in the process of being sold. Yesterday, I received a call from the current owner saying they have to tent the house for termites before escrow ends. The escrow company won't let them wait until after I move out, so they want to do this...

    Houdini the Leopard Wrasse Has Performed His Last Trick

    Well, he's disappeared for days on end before, then re-appeared (thus his name). So I didn't think much of it that he hasn't been around for the last week. I added some corals, and a little rock, and was worried maybe I pinned him under the sandbed. Yesterday, I came home to find my hermits...

    Used tank question for a friend...

    Got a friend of mine on the road in Northern CA right now who came across a 450g acrylic tank for sale. I guess it is a little scratched up. Anyone know how good scratch removal is on acrylic? Can it be done without hazing the tank? Tank is 8 ft long by 3 ft tall, not sure of depth. If so...

    Which circulation device is better?

    Right now, I am just using the standard return pump (Iwaki 40RT), and an additional Maxijet 1200 for circulation in my tank. I have been thinking of modifying that. I have heard of many different devices, but can't decide which is the best to go with. Wavemaker (wave controller hooked up to...

    Montipora - See below!

    OK. Went to the LFS yesterday, and he showed me a nice piece of Monti...looked kind of like a Capricornus, but not sure. It was pale yellow, with sky blue polyps. I have never seen one like it before. My LFS wanted $90 for it, which was just too rich for my blood right now. Has anyone ever...

    MH Lamp keeps shutting off. Ideas?

    I have 2 - 250w 10k MH's running. They are running off electronic ballasts, with Ushio bulbs. One of them keeps shutting off. It had happened once before, and the ground wire was the culprit. Hadn't happened in a long time after I fixed that. Recently, it started doing it again. The screw...
