these things sure know how to please the viewer :lol: I had on get stuck in a powerhead, and two pieces actually survived. one has so far really enjoyed the glass...I haven't had the heart to take a spoon and move the little guy yet.

Yeah maybe. They didn't looks entirely like aiptasia to me though...These seemed too solid colored. But it is clearly a pest. He says that these 'multiply fast' :lol: Someone should email this guy, he is asking $5 a piece Live Rock & Saltwater Supplies

Alright guys, help me ID these Anemones a friend over on craigslist is selling.

Since Coral requires good water quality, I would say personally that you should have at least a HOB skimmer. It would be best to setup a sump and get a lot of water flow through there. The only time I have found a standard HOB carbon filter to work is on a QT tank. Oh, and nice to see someone...

I still have never made it to this...some day I will be present! Good looking coral though!

Weird, I knew nems CAN eat fish, but I have never had an issue with it and never really heard of someone losing this many fish in such a short time to a nem...

This isn't getting anymore interest? :(

Ah yes this sounds perfect. Would help to make sure water doesn't spend too much time in the barrel!

I have a glass tank and I have never used a razor blade. I have a toothbrush, and I use the side of the top part, and that takes the algae off. Still, four years later, a toothbrush is my favorite tool in the aquarium :lol:

Over a year later, time to update I suppose! Added two Black Ocellaris clownfish! I will post pictures as soon as possible!

...I wish I understood what you did to those lights. Great build, tagging along to watch it progress.

Yup it's a Matted Filefish. They are great for eating Aiptasia, but they will also nip at zoanthids or other soft corals. I don't think I have heard of them really picking at LPS or SPS, but I could be wrong. Just be cautious!

I have a Chrome extension that turns those links into picture when you hover over it. Pretty useful ;D Congrats on the tank! I wish I could afford something that big haha

This seems like the sort of thing that ends up leaching nitrates into the system eventually...granted they claim that doesn't happen, I am just saying.

Having done absolutely no research on this yet, it sounds false all around...I feel like something as simple as that would have been introduced to the hobby long ago if it actually worked. Looking into it now though.

Maybe I will hit this idea up after I major in computer sciences :lol:

Yeah I was thinking about this. Is there a way the float valve could 'stand by' for a fluctuation period of say a few inches in the tank? I just feel like a few drops every couple of minutes wouldn't make sense. But then again, maybe that would be better? Sorry for my ignorance in this side of...

Okay so if I am going to completely redo my plumbing....now I obviously have to further the idea xD So how about automating water changes? I don't know if I can think of a way to do this without a reef computer...and I have no idea how those work quite yet haha. But I feel like if the computer...

Actually, I just furthered my idea (see how early I am in the stages of this?) So underneath my stand, there isn't enough room for too big of a sump (the bow really takes a lot of room out, and only 1/3 of the stand opens so getting a different size in there would be a huge pain). But what if I...

I just change water 5 gallon at a time, but more often. I even mix in the five gallon buckets. Sadly my sump isn't big enough to accommodate for a 5 gallon difference, So I usually siphon water into the sump while siphoning water out of the DT. Also my pump is sketchy so I am scared to turn...
