I wouldn’t worry if the tang looked fat and healthy 

I’ve had this skimmer 4 years it’s been a great one. Dustin

Yay we are talking football.  Don’t get me wrong he’s a good quarterback but not as good as he thinks he is.  He had many opportunities to win against the Bucs but he wants to blame the loss on not going for it on fourth down. Drew Brees gets the same treatment. It’s like it’s never their fault when they lose. 

I think Rodgers is the most talented QB I’ve ever watched. Maybe not the best but he’s the total package.

Lol how did an innocuous question about an ice storm get so off topic ?  Can we debate sports too? I wish the Cowboys had a quarterback as good as Aaron Rogers opinion of himself. Am I the only one that can’t stand that guy ? He’s always blaming everyone else for his losses. 

Aaron Rodgers is awesome, been carrying a mediocre team for a decade. Won a super bowl with McCarthy as coach. As a Dallas  fan you see how bad McCarthy is. 

Looks like a variant of a diamond goby sand sifter to me. Should be fine with pistol shrimp but they won’t pair up. 

Sorry hear about your tank John, your tank has always been a favorite  of mine and your photos are incredible

100 gallon I wouldn’t sweat it, on the 2nd floor. Keep the money from the engineers trying to rip you off, they are full of themselves. 

Congrats on the milestone. I really need to get off my duff and make the trip up to Portland. I’ve only heard great things. 

Thanks for sharing, what a nice tank you have.

So they just ended up in your filter socks?  How many did you start with?  I started with seven about a month ago and my aptasia are disappearing but I've never seen more than a couple of them late at night since then.  I would love to pass some on when they are finished if I can find them. 

I started off with 7 1/4” ones in my 60g Redsea, after most of aptasia is gone they seam to roam around more and get caught in current. I just flip the filter socks inside out and collect them. If you can take rocks out, you can usually find them on the underside at night. Very rarely did I see any for the first few months, they really need to breed for a bit.

This is awesome, lets keep it going.  Once my aptasia are gone, if I can catch some will keep the baton passing through the aptasia ranks!

Thanks again!

 

For sure, thanks for motivating me to ship out, and sending me supplies. Glad they survived over a weekend at the post office luckily they were nice and full. 

I have no more berghia thanks for the coral trades. I gave the last 30 or so to the Premium Aquarium. 

Fish seem to know when the kid is off or gaps. I left my lid crooked one night, and woke up to my Jawfish on the carpet. I don’t think adding another clown should be a problem. 

Yeah I’d try GFO. Or start a refugium or throw some extra live rock in the sump. 

To me it’s normal. I’ll get film algae pretty quickly. When I had a refugium set up I didn’t get the film algae as much. Your phosphates are getting ate up by the algae why it test so low.

He looks so awesome, I love the fin coloration. Lonnie didn’t grow much longer in the time I’ve had him. I noticed his round pot belly and it seemed normal until it wasn’t. Tanks for sharing!

Thank you, I’d say he’s been the best fish I’ve ever got from Petco. 

RIP Lonnie. My lawnmower looks the same but not as fat. I’ve had it 2 years it hasn’t grown length wise at all just round. 

My only friend who runs Neptune COR has pooped out on him, it was under warranty still luckily. 

These poison dart tanks are so cool thanks for sharing. I can’t let my daughter see these or I’ll have some myself. 

Been reading a pin cushion urchin. Black face rabbit fish can help. 

I really like my midas blenny and orchid dottyback. There is a ton of wrasses that are great to. 

Could I get some tips for some critters or a potion to get rid of my red turf algae. It’s just getting worse over the years. Thanks Dustin. 

I’ve got the redsea E-260 and it’s been great. I’ve had the reef octopus various 2 I think it is for nearly 3 years no issues. 

I prob found atleast 30 more in the socks today. 

Just grabbed another 15-20 out of filter sock. Hit me up if anybody wants some. I’d take a softie coral or LPS or fist bump
