    Nem got ahold of Foxface Rabbit

    Well. He is gone.. about an hour after posting this up the snails got ahold of him. Poor little fella. The nem is in sump. Probably for good or until I find a better home for him. I never really wanted a Nem. But sometimes you gotta make the wife happy. Maybe I could trade him for another fish...

    Nem got ahold of Foxface Rabbit

    I was cleaning glass today and my Foxface was startled and ran into my carpet anemone. I was quick to get him off but it had a strong hold on him. I used a stick so I wouldn't get stung. kinda grown partial to the little guy. Didn't eat well when I got him... fixed that... got all fat and got...

    FOTBC 54 Corner

    One thing you all might be able to help me with is why my SPS have grown a nice base but refuse to grow up and branch.

    FOTBC 54 Corner

    Well after the boss complaining about the overflow box losing prime on my 28. I finally talked her into getting a tank w/ built in overflow. Once she agreed that it was a good idea she was wondering if it would be ok to get a bigger tank......DONE! So on the tank I wanted to take care of all...

    H2Ocean salt question

    I was using IO for a long time, and I think H2Ocean is a far superior salt mix compared. I wasn't really happy with the color of my corals and how short lived the happiness of my corals was. It also didn't mix well and left a lot of sediment in the bottom of my buckets after days of mixing even...

    Comment by 'FishOnTheBrainC' in media 'SaltyDog's 180 reef w/ mangrove tank'

    Nice tank!! I am guessing the black hood is to keep the light from blaring though out the room?

    ways to reduce nitrate

    I would ditch the canister filter...Nitrate factory if it is not religiously clean well.. Freaquient largge water changes to get it down then cut back the volume.

    Wish I had something you dont have so I could trade...
  19. FishOnTheBrainC

    Can Someone ID these Zoas for me

    They almost look like some browned out Fruit Loop's or similar..
  20. FishOnTheBrainC

    Why do my Zoo’s have really long tentacles/Skirts?

    I have read that is could be just about anything. the most convincing was that it is do to LOW flow. Trying to get more surface area to catch food and such in lower flow areas. It seems to be true for me. Example being I get a new frag with 2-3 polyps...short skirts. they get more flow since...
