    pics of my home made canopy

    looks really nice; thinking that's probably on my list of one of my next projects too. I want to get a wrasse, but afraid it will bail. What kind of finish did you use for the inside to combat splashes and salt?

    fish nippin at coral, any ideas?

    Dadgumit...hehe...was hoping there would be some sort of fish behavior schooling solution I was overlooking! Perhaps a slap on the fins with a ruler will teach him some obedience! Well....lets just say I decide to set up a second "nano" tank for the little guy... 10 gallon tanks are cheap and if...

    fish nippin at coral, any ideas?

    I've got a bi-colored blenny that seems to like the taste of my orange cap. as well as another plate coral I'm not sure the name of? They have both been in my tank for a few month and showing signifigant growth till he started at them. Right now I'm waiting for some aragocrete rock I made to...

    Recent Drought Anouncement in Washington State

    Yup, as stated, if you're worried about it, catch it in a bucket too and fill up your washing machine (if it's not front loading they usually use quite a few gallons, I believe as high as around 40 per load) or pour it into the tank of your toilet when ever you use it to help fill it back up...

    i want to be a member

    The meeting starts at 7pm at BCC? I've met a few local Reefer's from this site lately, seems like a good club, how much is it to join? Saturday's are a bit hard for me, I work usually, but would love to make it if possible.

    1st time reef tank

    not to start knocking any local petstores, but if you tell us where abouts you are, some of the locals around here may be able to point you to a good knowledgable store around you.. course, always do lots of research before just listening to anyone, especially pet stores, as you'll quickly find...

    seeding aragocrete-display or bucket?

    Been changing it about once a week. The calcium level has dropped, not seeing all that crust on top of the water, but the ph is still real high. I decided to take all the rock out of water, for at least a few days. Gonna let it dry out some, then start back on the freshwater bath. Don't know if...

    shells, cocoons?

    Seems the they must be insect larva. Thanks all for helping with the id. I went ahead and removed the rest floating around from the tank and will continue to do so should anymore show up. Perhaps it did come with my live rock. They did show up a little while after purchasing the last few pieces...

    shells, cocoons?

    See, that's the strange thing, they look pretty similar, but half of the shell/cocoon is somewhat transparent, while half of it is obviously filled with something? They also seem quite a bit smaller than the common household fly.. about 1/8 of an inch. They do not move, just stick to the sides...

    shells, cocoons?

    Recently, just above my water line I've discovered quite a few of these strange looking shell/cocoons? They look somewhat clear, brown, with something filling the inside of one end? I've tried doing numerous searches on snails, shells, cocoons, but still have no idea what they may be? I would...

    seeding aragocrete-display or bucket?

    About 3 months ago, I made some aragocrete. It's still in the slow process of curing.. I think partly it's taken so long, because I used portland cement, made fairly large pieces and was trying to cure it out in my cold garage. I since brought it inside and am still waiting. It doesn't seem to...
