All Activity

I would like to rent the par meter again. It looks like I'm next on the list so I went ahead and paid the deposit. I can not pick up until Friday in 1 week, so if anyone wants it this week go for it. Let me know if I need to do anything else.

Ill be there. +2 for me. I'm excited to hear Eli talk again.

Ill take it.

Photos?

Yeah second that

Seems like a killer deal. Any pictures?

Selling as a pair, would like $150 for both, lights only. Works great, better than my old ai hyrda 26s.

thanks for the update, will process it asap

Hi All, We have a really fun meeting coming up. We'll be having the May meeting at my house in Corvallis. Send me a PM for my address and to RSVP. The meeting will be from 1-4 and Eli of Aquabiomics will be presenting on the aquarium microbiome at 230. We'll have food, drinks, and raffles! Follow this thread, as I will be posting more information about the raffles and the talk as we get closer to the meeting date. One of the raffles will be for corals from my tanks (see below). In the meantime, don't forget about the NEXT club meeting that will be held at the Tyree Coral Farmers Market on 11-4 on Sunday April 28th at the Airport Holiday Inn Hotel. Hope to see you there!

ahh interesting! Thanks for sharing that. Yeah i'll be moving stuff around tonight and I'll see if that works first and foremost! Hopefully I can take care of multiple issues here with one solution. I have to move the coral anyways to get them to the correct lighting and flow areas too.

Thanks! Thats what I initially thought, but my googling was only showing me the nem style like aiptasia. They look exactly like the second pic in the BRS link. I wish I knew how they got there as I have had that little rock for a decade with no signs and nothing added to the tank in years.

Those look like hydroids. Here is a link from BRS: Spooky reef tank pests and how to get rid of them

Hi, I had a crash a month or so back. The tank is stabilizing but experiencing a bubble algae and cyano outbreak. When looking at the tank today I noticed a pest coral on some rock. I can't remember the name of these and my Googlefu is letting me down. It's the little ones on the left of the rock. Zoas are there for scale.

USB is back at Cuttlefish & Corals. Worked great! Thanks for doing this - it's a real help.

There’s a breeder in the Seattle area and interestingly the black and white clownfish from the same clutch of fish were the most aggressive. Unless the orange and white becomes more submissive you sometimes just need to remove one of the fish and try to pair it with a smaller clownfish. Rearranging the rock is worth a try .

Hey thank you! The ones I picked up are probably 1.5 inches long. They were sitting together above where they have the frags on display in those smaller tanks across from their reptiles behind their showcase tank. I know clownfish have a brutal hierarchy system, and I these were both the same size when I got them. Which is inclining me to think this is just a part of that process. I'm not getting nipping or anything between the two, but the black clownfish will do like a mini-charge at the orange clownfish and look like its nipping at it, but so far nothing on the fins(luckily). It seems the aggression came when the black clownfish dug out a foxhole under one of my rocks. For a week or so, they were sleeping together, and I noticed my black clownfish had a droopy jaw. I don't believe this was from locking jaws with the other fish and fighting as the orange clownfish always submits, but I can tell gets upset from time to time and will do a mini-charge back at the black clownfish. So I attributed this so maybe he got hurt digging out his foxhole(photo down below). Also looked like he had a little cut around his lip, so I immediately took out my carbon, and added some bactershield by Fritz, and i'm not even kidding, healed overnight. Since then, the aggression picked up a little bit. I'm thinking of perhaps moving my rock around to confuse them and make them feel they are in a new area to explore to eliminate that territorial behavior over the foxhole and hopefully restart the friendship between them. Here is the video of the fish here <- YT video of adding them to my nano.

The tank has been stored in my garage which stays a fairly constant temperature year round.

Thank you, I wanted to keep it simple. The fish seem to like the open water, especially the wrasse and clown. They ride the jet stream from the gyre pump all day long.

Glad to be back in the hobby. It would be interesting to see which clown pair you purchased. I picked up a pair (about 3-4 inches) from Upscales back in October 2023 and brought them back in January 2024. The larger black female was overly aggressive to my 4 new additions. So, I picked up a black ice clownfish that has been doing well with the rest of the tank. As for the candy cane, I had a similar problem with them getting too much light to the point they were almost gone. I placed them on the sand bed away from direct light and have been spot feeding them mysis shrimp. They seem to be coming back, but it will take time.

Hello all, Mike here! I've been keeping aquariums and various reptiles my whole life! My career had me stop in my early 20's due to being on the road so much playing music. Little over a decade later, I decided to try saltwater for the first time! I picked up the 12/15g nano tank by coralfish12g on YT. I decided myself to also document my journey on youtube as well for all my tanks! All my videos are here! <- my YT channel. I picked up a pair of clownfish from upscales, and for a while they were doing great! Now it seems as though they are fighting a bit and no longer sleeping together. I picked up a hammer coral and a trumpet coral, and i have my hammer sitting on the top rock and my trumpet about 6 inches below. My trumpet doesn't seem to want to open. Not sure if its lighting or if i chose a poor spot for him where he may be getting hit with a little too much current. All water params are great and salinity is sitting a 1.025. Sorry for the blur in this photo as I do need to clean the outside of my tank ^.^ Just thought i'd say hello and what my experience is so far a couple months into my saltwater tank life! Cheers! - Happy Reefing! Mike

I sent a email. Hopefully I get a update.

Sold. Thank you

I like your aquascaping.

Thanks, not my best work, but my OCD was satisfied.
