It's been a LOOOONG time since I've visited this site. This weekend I'm tearing down my tank, selling off 1/2 the live rock and cherry picking the best to put into a 20gal tank. I'm finally going nano. ha! My stand will be converted to an entertainment center. This is all happening...

Anyone use this and have good things to say? I'm currently looking to upgrade from a CPR BakPak II.

I know I'm a mod, but it's a been a LONG time since I've really posted to this site. DJ Conn and I go way back. Anywho, my tank is still around and after letting it go and doing bare min maintence, this weekend I'm going to do my fish/corals a HUGE favor and clean my pumps/lines and get around...

Nevermind.

Conn, Too bad you couldn't make it out for Coachella this year. Very good shows and Daft Punk blew up the tent. It was un-believeable. I ran into Blake there and it's all we talked about. They were dressed as Robots. Here's two pics: and the light show....UNREAL! Two best...

In my 40 gallon I have some rics. Really big and beautiful rics. The problem is I have upwards of 7 or 8 or 9 on a rock 1/2 the size of a golf ball. It's epoxied onto my LR and now I'm starting to wonder if I can't frag them and space them out to give them more breathing room. They are in a...

In about a month I'm going to have to move my tank. 40gal w/ 15gal sump. Most of my corals are hardy, shrooms, zoas, colt, xenia. No LPS or anything and just a clown goby, clown fish and some sort of blenny I NEVER see and will finally catch and return to AW. No point in owning and feeding a...

I know there are a bunch of Texas reefers on this board. Ya'll prepping for what may be a whalloping by H. Rita? Looks like she's gonna get up to Cat 4 and the entire TX coast line is her prime target, although nothing will be known for sure for another 24 to 36hrs. My folks in Katy TX are...

I'm starting to consider upgrading to MH lighting. But I'm a total noob at this. I do have a 40 gal tank that's 21" deep. It is acrylic and has a support in the middle. My stand is custom and 30" wide in the canopy. I want to keep LPS/softies, no real desire at this time to get into SPS...

Dammit...theyyyyy're bacccckkkkk it! I'm so mad, these little boogers just won't die and leave me in peace! I heard something at a LFS and I wanted to bounce it off the board. I was told that they are photo synthetic and aside from hoping FWE works, the other three options are...

Ok, Major problems with my tank. All of my candycanes are receeding! I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong! I've noticed it for awhile but I didn't know what was happening b/c I've never had this coral before, I though things were splitting. It's about 14" down from 220w of PC lights. 1/2...

I got a 2nd serpent star last weekend (or the weekend before that) and it's lost 3 of it's legs! They're just twiching around on their own and I can't figure out why it is getting torn apart. Even a small leg that had been regenerating I found today. So I dumped it into my sump in hopes that...

Ok, I've noticed th ese things inside my zoo colony forever but this is the first time I've got around to getting pics and posting it. What is this? I was thinking it was some sort of paracite so I removed it the best I could. It's a ballish honeycombed looking bright yellow job with a feeder...

The water I get from myLFS is RO/DI and I keep it stored in 5 gal jugs. Should I be worried about the water going stale? Or is it perfectly fine to keep the water in there without any movement? I've noticed that the dripline freshwater replacment tube that's in the jug tends to get...

I seem to have a flatworm problem in my tank. I've dosed with flatworm exit 2x now and some of those buggers still persist. I've been told six line wrasses eat flatworms. I also saw a 4 line wrasse for sale as well. What's the difference between the two fish or can I just get the cheaper one?

Is the bubble foam block on my CPR BakPak2 skimmer acting like a nirtrate factory?

Got a question about LPS. Do candy canes (in particular) share nutrients? For example, pylops and zoa's are connected via a matt and can share nutrients, thus if one eats they all benefit. Is this the same for LPS? I just got a red candycane with 10 heads, some of which are showing some...

Sorry no pic, I've got something interesting growing in my sump. All of the sudden along the walls of my sump are these little white oblong fuzzy pill jobs with little straight hairs sticking out the end that's not attaching them. Anyone have any idea of what they are? They look like...

This topic came up on www.sdreefs.com and it concerns the macro algea Caulpera Taxifola and it's impact. The state of Cali has deemed it illegal as an invasive speices if released into the ocean and it is now a misdemeanor to own/sell/purchas in the City. For those that don't know, as a safe...

Ok, latest round of major upgrades: from 110w to 220w of PC lighting. Thus with the latest hardware I figure it's time for a new thread and the difference I encounter from here on out. The last piece of hardware I want at this time is a 'fuge, but maybe in a month or two. Old lights...
