Blue Ridge coral: tissue...

been out of town for work the last 2 months. The only care has been topoff and filter changes. My wife did great. She even changed out the sump pump when it failed.

Recent photos. Nothing...

I have never been shy about my lack of testing, and with over 15 years of the hobby you think I would have moved forward. I am looking at my next tank, which I think will be a 65g with the same...

I have had various burrowing critters over the years, recently a mantis shrimp. I decided to stay with the bare-bottom until I replace this tank, though I will be getting something that builds in...

My pink pocci had a few dead spots. This one always grew dense, and I am shocked it survived this long. I cut out quite a bit, and made plugs.

I wanted to move some rocks out, and others...

A few days ago I finally got to removing the rocks I wanted to (3 months planning)and wanted to simplify my life. I pulled out out unused rocks, and the eggcrate bottom on the tank. I finally got...

Very neat aspect of the hobby that you see very little of.

I changed some lights around. blues for the late part of the day until night time. The colors look outstanding under these colors. Why didn't I try that earlier? All I had to do was to flip 2...

Outstanding!

I would like to thank everyone who helped plan and organize this. As usual we had a great time, and met some great members of this club! Is/Was/will there be a headcount against past TFP events? I...

I am leaving home now.

I will be there between 7:45 and 8am.

I am getting pumped for the swap on Saturday. Everything in the tank is well fed, clean and happy. It looked really crisp today, so I took some pictures. One of the "oddities" that I noticed since...

I did a huge change of water today. I removed a few dead skeletons and really cleaned the bottom off. I also pulled out just about every rock that is not required or has something growing on it. ...

I nominate you for tank of the month! 9 years in between updates was well worth it.

Thanks for that! I love watching how they swim. They are almost like hummingbirds. Always glad to see a fat mandarin. I had one back around 2001-2002 in my 75g, and the only reason I bought it...

I have always enjoyed coming early and helping the vendors get their things in. These people are part of what makes these things special, and they already did so much work to get their supplies...

I don't have facebook, but I will be there and will be early. I don't know who did the graphic for the Swap, but they did a really nice job! I will be taking this over to reefsanctuary.com and...

Update me to 17980.

I love the mandarian dragonette/goby (whatever they are called now). They are one of the few fish that I really enjoy. They are so passive, but they eat all day long. I wish I had a larger system...

I am on well water, and am in a very similar situation. We have been tested in the past and had trace amounts of iron, and is neutral on the PH scale. We never had a particle filter at all. We...

I enjoy sharing the joys and failures of the hobby as much as the hobby itself. I think that I am pretty relaxed about the hobby as a whole. "Worst case scenario" is much much worse than what I...

I am thinking that the cheap frag rack did it. I should have inspected it better when I got it, but the magnets were not sealed up as well as they could have been. Had I looked at it, I would have...
