    May Meeting FRAGS!!!!! :)

    I was very wishy washy on attending I really wanted to come for the topic , but the pictures and topic together are taking the cake for me. I'll have to take the day off work but the money lost will be returned tenfold with info gained. Hmm wonder if anyone has a colony I can buy to bring along...

    ATO question

    Lots of people have the rodi hooked up to just dump straight into the sump, or even better, into a tank/container next to the sump. The problem with it is if the valve gets stuck open, your tank's salinity will drop and continue dropping and you'll overflow the tank. The biggest problem with a...

    14g biocube cleanup crew question

    It might be phosphates, are you feeding the tank? Live rock source/cured? Used sand? I'm curious if you ever had any ammonia, seems way too fast for your cycle to be finished already. The algae growth is probably the reason your not registering any nitrates, the algae is taking it up as fast...

    Aqueon Circulation Pump - Reviews anyone?

    I'd say even with the locking suction cup it won't hold very well in the long run as the caustic nature of salt water will kill the suction cup over time plus doesn't the fact that no LFS will carry them raise any red flags for you?

    Bleaching rocks..

    Something I know people have done with great success is to leave it in the bleach water, then add a strong acid the the same "tub". The acid of choice is usually vinegar (cheap) but it'll neutralize the bleach and then let air dry until its completely dry.

    Corals need help

    also they are non photosynthetic so their placement near lights/in high lights isn't important though I've heard they won't open up as much or at all in higher light, though it was probably a flow thing rather than the lights

    lighting ballast ?

    I'm assuming you have a fixture rather than retrofitted t-5s. If you know the maker of the fixture you can usually call the manufacturer and get a replacement from them or you can talk to the place you bought the fixture and they can facilitate that for you. I'm thinking though that the large...

    Fish versus coral ..what is more important in your tank?!

    It used to be fish for me. I wanted a fish only and did just that. Then after seeing all the beautiful pictures of tanks housing not only fish but corals too, I felt I may be able to strike that balance and do some corals. I'm currently loving the corals a lot more, primarily cause my tank's...

    Is this Baby Aptaisia?

    I'd say they are pineapple sponges or something similar, nothing to worry about (good things)
  15. B

    ID this please

    actually i think they are Palythoas rather than zoanthids (very similar) but as for a name, how about those cool looking green/teal polyps

    new shop in town

    I just heard about the winco and am very excited (kinda strange being exicted over a grocery store) as i make the trip up the the marysville one atleast once a month. If there was a fish store near there (also close to the mall and I-5) I'd certainly be in there atleast once a week (groceries...

    new shop in town

    my vote on mill creek, theres some storefronts still open in the Mill Creek town center.... Seems like 5-10yrs ago there were salt shops all over, now its dwindled down to just a handful. The only 3 stores that are within reasonable distance from MC and bothell are Red sea, Denny's, and Reef...

    Morning Candy:)

    those little bumps are its pneumatocysts (sp), they are the stinging cells they use to capture/kill food and protect themselves from harm. Pretty cool picture!

    box fish ?

    What time of day are you "finding" him stuck? perhaps hes decided to sleep next to or on the intake (he doesn't have to worry about getting blown around while hes inactive). It might also be getting bullied and most fish avoid intake and hence its going to a place other fish stay away from and...

    Paciific NW Sea Cucumbers.

    If i remember i'll ask my dad tomorrow, he did a lot of oceanography stuff back when he worked on the NOAA ship. That was a great many years ago, but he did dissect quite a few cucs...
