Oh yikes, good to know. Thank you!! To the trash it goes!

Well I'm not putting the clownfish and anemone in yet, this tank has to cycle first. I should have mentioned earlier that is *was* a freshwater planted tank with a puffer fish in it. I just wasn't sure if this type of substrate tends to trap detritus or not, or if it would be an okay substrate...

Inherited an old tank from my brother and sister in law who have given up on fish. It is a 20 gallon and has a black substrate in it that I am not sure is reef friendly or not. I have only ever used live tan sand in my tanks, and never knew a lot about other types of substrate. This stuff is...

I would be very happy to attend a February get together. Maybe at Red C again? Could bring in some extra winter business :)

I am terribly sorry I couldn't make it today, too :( I had friends come in from Chicago for a surprise visit to meet my new little reef keeper. I still miss you all and hope we can plan a November meeting, too! Would love to see everyone!

Sounds good - count me in!

This new mama would love to get together and see all you North Sound Reefers sometime soon :) When is the next meeting???????

Actually looks like a sponge to me, but not necessarily a pineapple one. The pineapple sponges are solo, this looks like some sort of mat-like sponge. Easiest way to tell is to touch it. How does it feel when you touch it with your finger? Also, if it *is* a sponge, having it out of the...

I'll be there in spirit! Supposed to be having a baby any day now, so I don't think I'll be quite up for a meeting just yet :)

Congrats on reviving your tank!! Good for you for starting over, rather than giving up :) In regards to your sand (because I was thinking the same thing as 1guydude), I would stir it up in the water you just added, do as big a water change as you can (all of it, in fact, if you can), drain the...

Looks like a purple sponge I've seen in my LFS's main tank. They've actually fragged it off and sold it several times because it not only grows well, but it is a really "pretty" sponge, too :) It is smooth and soft to the touch, so not as rough as most sponges, and it is a dark purple/grey...

Just downloaded the app and left you a 5-star rating. This app is fantastic, and I can tell you and your team have put a lot of work into this! Keep it up! I have only one suggestion for a possible addition - maybe a list of tankmates (or fish they SHOULDN'T be with, since that would probably...

Ugh...seeing the pictures not only makes me sick, but brings about a lot of bad-words in regards to the character of your ex. I am so very sorry about your loss :( I love each and every critter in my tank, down to the stomatella snails, and it would break my heart to see any of them dead...

I've never *seen* it happen, but I've heard of it happening when they are underfed. Hermits are meat-eaters, so if they aren't getting enough, then they will either go after coral, or each other.

Holy crap, those are some long sweepers!!!! :jaw:

Oh man, it would be so cool to dive where there's a sunken ship!! There's just something mystical about a boat that's sunk, no matter how long it's been underwater (though the longer they've been there, the more awesome it is :D ) And that octopus looks unreal! Too cool! Thanks for sharing :)

Lookin' good! And you'll have some nice surface movement with it, too :)

That refugium looks amazing!!! Great job, guys!!

chaetopterid worm http://www.tampabaysaltwater.com/thepackage/id_images/worm_tube-buus.jpg As far as I know (from experience and what I've read) they're pretty harmless. The build tubes for themselves using pieces of substrate. Here's some info on them: The Worms Crawl In (scroll down to a...

+1 That was my initial reaction, too. Looks like it could be the start of HLLE.
