    Monti gone

    Thanks, I'll check around for them. It's amazing what pops up in the tank that never knew was there

    Coldwater / Temperate Reef Keeper here :D

    That is a sweet setup. How do you keep the water at the appropriate temperature?

    Monti gone

    So this was interesting. Last week I had one of my orange monti go from deep orange to bleach white in about two days. The orange literally peeled off, almost like paint when you use paint thinner. Just before this happened, right on top it looked like there was a spider web forming on top...

    Probably Shouldn't Have Done This.............

    The mandarin is still alive, but I don't see him pecking much anymore, and he looks like he is getting skinnier. He didn't do much when I put him in the pod culture tank, so I moved him back to the display. I messed up the stand alone culture I set up when I moved him into it, i drilled holes...

    Astrea Stars Building Up

    Can't really say it's an outbreak of astrea stars, but I am picking out about 50 a week in my 65g display. I've been just transporting them to my sump, but they just keep reproducing. I've heard that some people who have harlequins could use them, I just feel too bad to just flush them. Any...

    Probably Shouldn't Have Done This.............

    So the mandarin came out today during the day, but he wasn't pecking like he has been in the past. He also looks like he has lost some more weight. I tried target feeding him pods, rods and mysis and he pecked a little, but not a lot. So, i figured I'd put him in the container that I am using...

    Probably Shouldn't Have Done This.............

    Ya, right now I'm using phyto feast, reef nutrition actually has a page on how to culture in a stand alone container. Reef Nutrition - Tigger-Pods® I'll keep posting as the project continues. Hopefully it works out

    Probably Shouldn't Have Done This.............

    So I set the pods culture up, ended up doing it a little different. Instead of setting up a separate tank, I found a rubbermaid container that would fit in the top of the sump, with the bottom submerged about 1/2 inch. Hooked up an air stone, let the pods acclimate to temperature and set them...

    Probably Shouldn't Have Done This.............

    Well, the little guy is still alive, although he is still looking skinny. I can really tell if he has gotten skinnier. He still spends all day pecking at the reef. I tried catching the six line, but heard a good technique today involving a 2 liter coke bottle, so ill give it a shot today. I...

    Probably Shouldn't Have Done This.............

    What I think I'll do next is buy a cheap little 10g and set it up in the garage to cultivate some tigger pods. Hopefully I'll be able to supplement enough, or at least know he still has pods to eat. Wish there was a way to test pod count in the water lol.

    Probably Shouldn't Have Done This.............

    So it's been about a week and he is still hanging in there. He is pecking all day at the sand and reef, and has started to come out during the day more often. I tried snappi g a pic but he must know what my camera looks like because he seems to go behind the reef right before I have a shot set...

    Algae or algae like identification help

    I have some red algae similar to yours, but more of bubble than a leaf. It was on a piece of live rock I bought. After about a month, i noticed this neon orange glowing when the actinics are on: I also picked up this leafy algae at the bob moore frag swap, it has a neon orange glowing under...

    Probably Shouldn't Have Done This.............

    The little guy's condition seems to be improving. He is still pecking at the rock and sand. He hasn't been coming out during the day, but has been doing a little exploring in the evenings when the lights shut off. I tried catching my wrasse last night, but no luck. Looks like I'll be doing some...

    Sorry I missed you, was up early, about 7, went to bed just before 5. It'll go on like that for another day or two then I'll crash and get like 4-6 hrs. I've pretty much gotten used to not sleeping though, although I sleep a lot better now than I did before. I'll be on here for a bit so ht me...

    Brie ever think about putting on an aquaria photo workshop? I'd pay to get a few hours of photography instruction.

    Probably Shouldn't Have Done This.............

    After 12 years in the Army I'm pretty thick skinned, and I don't think anyone has done any berating. A lot of people are really passionate in this hobby and have learned through their own trials and tribulations, and I can see how minor frustrations can add up and frustrate some enough to quit...

    Probably Shouldn't Have Done This.............

    I almost got rid of him last month, he was getting a little too aggressive with some of the gobys. I caught him when i did a tank cleanup and moved all my live rock, I'm not sure if ill be able to catch him without taking all the rock out again. Do you think I can supplement pods, maybe adding...
