    Porcupine puffer and frogspawn ?

    I've had a porcupine in fish only takes and they are sooo much fun. I have no idea with frogspawn and other corals, I think you might be safe but that is just pure optimism because they are such a fun fish. Hermits and snails that can fit in its mouth won't stand a chance, neither will clams...

    Insurance policy for renters?

    When I was in college they said "up to 20 gallons and proof of renters insurance". Of course they never asked for proof but the savings from the multiple line discount actually paid for the policy and then some (my renters policy cost $110/year, discount on my auto from the multiple line...

    MrGone's 150g mixed reef

    I bought the baby flame angel at Barrier Reef a couple days ago, it is a really cool little fish. I put him in the 55g because he is so small and I wanted a chance to see him (vs. the 150g with all the tunnels and caves and such). He really likes a barnacle shell I have in the tank. When I...

    Can you over-skim a tank?

    I used to think you could but now I'm right in line with what lvsuckerfish says, I have an CNC 300A on my tank (a 150g and 55g on a shared sump) and it has trouble producing enough foam to get up into the neck for half the day but for a few hours a day it has enough to produce a pretty dark tea...

    Tangs: will it work?

    I have two purples and a sailfin in my 150g, I have a yellow tang coming in a few days and I'm hoping they will get along, I know its a long shot. The purples and sailfin get along. sometimes the purples will get after one another. I haven't been around the tank since I got them so it's hard to...

    Bulkheads in a local shop?

    If you only need one I'm pretty sure I have a brand new 1.5" slip slip sch. 40 at my Dads house on the plateau I could see if he can dig out.

    Nuking live rock

    Nope, there really weren't any pests in the tank, no hair algae or aiptasias. Thank you for sharing your experiences! It sounds like nuking them will be of little benefit and bleaching them is the way to go. I know that is extreme based on what you said but I'd rather start fresh and be...

    acro

    I'm still an SPS n00b but it looks like growth, especially since the lower one is doing it. I haven't experienced bleaching but I would think the coral would do it to approximately the same level (everything above the lower branch would be white).

    Nuking live rock

    My Dad has some live rock out in the garage out of his tank and wants to start over with it. I really don't think there was much alive on it when he bought it (certainly didn't look like it). The rocks had quite a bit of cyano on them when he pulled them. He mentioned just scrubbing them...

    MrGone's 150g mixed reef

    I'd prefer just to have the one display but we had to setup the 55g to save his fish, I had it all cleaned to sell lol My Dad took some pics and sent them to me tonight :) I can't wait to get home and actually be able to enjoy the tank again! Also it looks like the dry rock is starting to...

    New Era for CFI

    Hey Jason, in about two months my Dad will be looking for someone who can remove some mostly light scratches and a couple nicks from his tank and can baffle his existing sump and build a new additional sump/refugium for him. It is a 255 gallon peninsula located on Mercer Island. The acrylic is...

    MrGone's 150g mixed reef

    crazy fish tank wall lol. Now I need to run a dedicated circuit, it's too much for the family room circuit :( When I reaquascaped my 150g tank I pulled out all the softies what were becoming more of a nuisance and put them in the 55g. We moved my Dads fish from the quarantine tank into the 55g...

    MrGone's 150g mixed reef

    Thank you Dang! Hey Apollo I'm going to give the Galaxy to my Dad to use because it takes up less space and fewer wires under there. I'm tempted to fire it off and see if it looks different than my Lumateks but only the center lamp has the sunlight supply style connector and I don't know if...

    Pond foam question

    what epoxy are you using?

    Pond foam question

    do you need to seal the foam with epoxy for it to be safe or is that to get sand/aragonite/etc to stick to it?
