I picked one up in Cannon Beach, OR last summer. Know that doesn't help any Kirk, I can see if there is a website anywhere on it when I get home.

When I originally set up my tank last march a majority of the rock I used was from Will at Reef Mystique. While it is great rock and the rock I got was extremely porous you will still have a cycle to some degree. I had no initial cycle but a lesser longer lasting one a few months after the...

This is far from accurate. The 1st Season the Seahawks won the west the Rams came here for a wildcard game. They had beat the Seahawks twice that year. Everyone (myself included) thought its hard to beat a team 3 times in a year....that was until a local radio station (KJR) aired the actual...

While we are on the Carbon kick here is a good thread: http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24720&highlight=Granular+Activated+Carbon&page=3 You can see Boomer's top 5. I tend to use WM or TLF only in my tank. After first starting running WM carbon I had polyp extension for...

I had two large air conditioners running in my house keeping ambient temperature relatively cool. (I dont like the heat...some say I am arctic) and still got to 82. I prefer to keep my reef at 77-78 and fans just didn't do the trick. With my chiller I now have a 1-2 degree swing in my tank...

I have a 125 AGA tank that came with 2x250 MH retros and 2x96w attinics. I just traded the attinics for some SPS and I was running the tank with 2x250 MH. Once I added the 3rd it got alot brighter and the tank looks good in my opinion. I would go with 3x250 MH. I run Reeflux 12ks. If you...

"the more the merrier" :)

Yeah, the girlfriend understood that christmas lights dont exist on reefs but I didn't have a good arguement on how the tinsel would affect the fish. :)

Figured I would throw up a few pictures this month. Its crazy how some of these corals have grown so much faster lately. It will be nice once I get a calcium reactor but that will happen after the first of the year. I just ordered a 3rd metal halide that should be here this week. Anyways...

I would also take your water in and get it tested. I have Sailfert test kits and they are all far from expiring. I tested my ph at 7.7, from the same sample the Elos test kits read at 8.1. Its always good to have your numbers confirmed or be sure of them before you make changes.

Just a warning about the Turbo Snails Mexican....once they get large they can and will knock over stuff. Mine currently spends his days roaming my fuge.

Whenever fraggin my Zoanthids I wear goggles, and wash my hands before removing the goggles. Heck Zoas make my fingers a little tingly so I'm not messing around.

Tony Romo is on my fantasy team. :(

Mike, how's your population of them doing? ; )

Do they have a short life or do they die due to tank conditions. I have some that are over an inch long and have been in my tank since I set it up in March...plus tons of baby ones that are getting bigger.

My neighbor has one...when I was walking up my stairs I looked over and was thinking WTF?!

Heck I put my salt in last just from my days making Kool-Aid. It was always so hard to get the rest to dissolve if you did it the other way around. Anyways to respond to the post of how I make my Saltwater. I fill my 32G Brute Trash Can nearly to the top with RO/DI water. I let it set at room...

Glad to see I can add those to the list of snail eggs I have in my tank also. :) My Astrea's have layed eggs for the 3rd time in as many weeks and I already have 20-40 mm size snails running around. Now I can look forward to some Nassarius to go with my Stomatellas. My snails need to lay off...

I'm not too worried about killing bacteria. It will all be reseeded in my system. After the crab debacle I had the first time around (and think I still may have one left) I'll go for the guarantee. Maybe next time I'll just do an interceptor dip as that should kill the crabs. None the less...

So I have this rock in my sump that will eventually be a Zoanthid rock. I noticed a crab when I was buying it so I soaked it in fresh RO/DI water for about 2 hours and killed off 2 crabs. I noticed another crab while it was in my sump that survived the fresh water soak so I soaked the rock...
