    substrate for refugium

    If the fuge is connected to the same tank the detritus came out of then it is not necessary or desirable to put any in your fuge, plenty of detritus suspended in the water column will be going in your fuge carrying with it whatever bacteria etc you would be adding, you'd just be putting an...

    Joe's Wet Dream, A 550 Gallon Work In Progress

    Most of my fish have come from various LFS's, as you can tell by the rampant obesity I've had at least half of them for several years, I have recently bought some from fellow hobbyists in the area that are breaking down their tanks, it's great to take a fish home that is well adapted to the...

    Transferred a few more fish in today, a trio of 2 inch Hippos, a longnose butterfly, and a golden angel, the golden dove right into the rockworks, probably won't see him for a while, here's a couple of photos of the others: . . . .

    It was weird Eric, I thought I'd have major warfare, they postured a little in the first 24 hours and have got along great since, there is actually more agression between the two yellows (they were supposed to be best buddies in their previous residence, but one is very dominant in the new...

    They are Byssal attachments Mike, I got the clams 18 months ago and knew I'd be moving them a time or two, so I wanted to come up with something to minimize trauma to them. The other benefit is that you can move them easily around the tank to play around with different lighting intensities or...

    Hi Edwing, I've had the purple tang 4 years or so, bought him online from Flying Fish Express, they were bought by Drs. Foster Smith when the new owners moved into the live fish business. Several factors led to my choice on the large substrate. Bare bottom was not an option for me due to...

    Here are a few aquascaping views, from the frontal perspective it appears to be one large sloping mass of rock, the basic design is actually two separate seamounts separated by an abyss. Here are some frontal views: . . . . . . . . Here are some views from the right side that show the channel...

    , all the rest of my I took a few photos of the aquascaping and the tank inhabitants while the MH's were hammering the tank, I'm starting out just running them a couple of hours mid day, actinics are set at 12 hours, hoping that once I get the MH's up to 8 hours that the corals I've browned up...

    Mesoscope Use in The Book of Coral Propagation

    Hello Anthony, this post would be more appropriate in the photo forum, but I wanted to be sure it got to you. In my new copy of the Book of Coral Propagation I saw that you used an Ogles Mesoscope for photo work, could you share with me how you used it to take pictures, I'd love to be able to...

    No Problem Charlie, it's not really any easier, it's only a 15 minute ride, they depart every thirty minutes on the hour and 1/2 hour from both sides. The good thing about walking across is that it will save you around $15.00 by not taking a vehicle across.

    Pretty easy really, right before you get to Lake Washington when you're going west on I-90 you turn north on I-405, if you don't take any exits or turns that goes straight to the Mukilteo ferry, the ferry lands at Clinton on south Whidbey Island, we live five miles from there near the metropolis...
