You are hooked up, good luck!

Those top ones are gorgeous, I love em!

I am also heading up tomorrow morning if anyone is ready on this.

That makes me sad, I had a colony I grew from a small frag of the birds nest that recently bleached. I might have to take one of those.

It looks to be a paly for sure, I would say that it probably has been on your live rock since you got it. Try moving it into the light a little more and see what it does then.

It is spoken for, wanted to let it go to someone before people started to pick up their corals.

I wasn't speaking of anyone in particular, just seen a few that that were.

I am looking for a new skimmer for my nano, I have one running now that I am not terribly impressed with. I am hoping to find a good deal on an Aqua-c Remora but will consider others as well. It will need to be a hang on skimmer unless someone has a small sump they are looking to get rid of as well

OK so here is the deal. I won a frag of beautiful pulsing xenia from OIAB. However I was bidding on a few different auctions from Perry but this is all I won. So with that said, I can not reasonably make the drive for just this nor can I ask Perry to make a trip to the shop for just this frag. So if you have won any of the last weeks auctions and have not yet picked up your corals then post share the love before you pick up your winnings and I will select 1 person to get my "already paid for" coral of blue xenia along with your order. I am really only offering this to people who still need to pick up their orders from perry. The only other thing I ask is that after you have grown it out, I would love a frag of it.

Anyone? bumpin it up

Dang, photoshop much anyone?

I had seen this yesterday, the crazy thing about it is that this did not come in a set.

So all I won this week was a 4.00 blue anthelia. I would really hate to have Perry have to meet me at his shop just to give me this 1 coral. Any chance that somebody from remotely close to this area is heading down to pick up their winnings and could grab this for me. I am heading to Eugene on Tuesday to see the savage again if anyone needs to transport something that way. Please let me know.

It just kind of brings me back to when I first started with reef tanks, the learning curve that went along with it and how easy it is to be made to believe that you need more then you really need. I had a zoo/softie only tank set up in my garage for a while and I only ran a skimmer on it for maybe 4 hours a month, no sock, no anything other then a refugium and I had faster growth in that tank then I had ever seen anywhere. I did do water changes but it was only about 10 gallons in a 200 gallon system every month. I have a nano setup now for my personal tank and I run a crappy little skimmer on it and have it filled with sps and lps as well as zoo's and the likes. I have exponential growth on everything! The only trick I have for that is religous water changes of 20% a week with a high end reliable salt, well that and a kickass clean up crew.

A friend of mine believes it is the end of the English language as we know it, ha ha, he might be right.

Well to join you in nerdom Eric, I believe you are mistaken. I do believe that while it is has been made popular in use by online gamers and the likes, I have reason to believe calling someone a noob, was used much earlier then Mortal Combats release, by military personnel as a derogatory term for a newbie. Beings that the word noob or newb is derived from the word newbie it would only make sense that it would be spelled newb. No matter how hip the WOW croud tries to make themselves by spelling different. Also it wouldn't make any sense that word would have derived from the character on Mortal Combat beings that it is a derogatory term, same spelling or not there is no meaning behind it. With that said, I don't use the word at all honestly. I collect Star Wars and build computers but I am not that nerdy, ha ha.

Hey Mick, I couldn't tell exactly where in the tank you had it but try putting that Favia you got from me on one side or the other, they really don't like a lot of light. It should color up a bit more then.

Any idea what the GPH is on this? I have a mag 2400 I could trade you if it will work for me.

I have battled them before and they are right next to imopossible to get rid of. I fought them for a long time with dips, manual removal and everything. Sucking them out with a turkey baster works great, and they are pretty easy to spot after a while. You have to look out for little clusters of eggs though too, they have too be scraped off manually. I have never seen any treatments aside from dips that kill these.

Yeah I don't know that would be a great idea, ha ha.

Take a look at the sunlight supply agrotech reflectors, not sure exactly what style you are thinking about but the are decent reflectors, not spider style and they are pretty cheap.

I am watching a Planet Earth special and thought this was exceptionally cool. At the end of the video you see just how amazing this Vampire Squid really is. Enjoy!!!

Just personal experience, but I have found sqwd's to be nice for the first few months and then completely unreliable. The smallest bit of anything in there and it will completely destroy the inside's.

We love new faces, welcome to the site.

Looking awesome, please keep the pics coming!!!!!
