  1. Not an expert but they sure like it. Those sure are much larger than the ones I've seen! What kinda snail is it?

    From what I can gather it must be from one of my Cerith's. I have recently added Ceriths- dwarf & Florida, Nerites, and some Nassarius. I just wasn't sure. Thanks for looking with me.

  2. Great info everyone. As I'm getting back into my hobby it's bouncing around in my mind again to get another QT setup sometime here soon. Right now I'm just runny a 34g Nano (knock on wood). It's always better to be prepared for the worst. Seems like when, not if, when it comes to ich, ugh!

    OP, keeps us posted, I've used copper before with great success. Fallow sucks, but it can be best if you can get everyone out safely. Best of luck to you.

  3. LOL you need a bigger car!  We are going to have some pretty amazing raffle prizes too. At our regular meetings we have given out mp40s, mp10s, gyres, red sea nanos. So definitely well worth the trip and my hope is we can make enough money to get the Boys and Girls Club a brand new tank.

    This is really great! Thanks Emerald! I hope to join you!

    I'm also looking forward to to catching some PNWMAS group activities some time too! I've been in the hobby for 10 years and only recently joined the group :) See ya around!

  4. Finally got a coral I have been wanting a long time. I tried to feed it today, and as so as I was done here comes melanrus wrasse the a-hole food stealer, pulled every pellet from their mouths.

  5. Wow that's awesome that you won! I was at sea-max too!  There will be around 8 to 10 vendors we are trying to keep it small since this is the first show we are doing.
    The speaker is Laura Simmons.  We are flying her out all the way from Australia.
    I am very excited to have her. Here is her talk she did at Macna last year:
     

    Wow! Thank you for sharing this info! I'm hoping to get this weekend off :)

    Ha! My Mini Cooper was so stuffed coming home that weekend after SEA-MAX [emoji38]

    Thanks again!

  6. Here's some photos of my tank setup:1c358dc168c86e6e15bebf613aa35b06.jpg97b2295bed80447245a3c56e7477227a.jpg0a83485c9ccd3c3bf6a1070525278207.jpg5a3a21970c4e9cef1fd950dc2a187d17.jpgafa8da023df03ecd7928fc27b6405a07.jpg
    You can see there's some spotlighting as two of my LEDs are needing replaced after a overheating episode the last time I had the tank setup.

  7. Any other RSM owners out there? Just curious to see your progress, upgrades, stocking, problems, successes, etc.

     

    On July 31st I setup my 34g nano RSM after a four year dry spell. I won this tank back when SEA-MAX was in Seattle for $5 in their grand prize raffle drawing :)

     

    Over the years I've upgraded the tank with:

    •Apex Classic controller,

    •DIY Cree LED array,

    • Added 2-part dosing with BRS,

    • Carbon dosing bio-pellets with TLF's CPR nano reactor,

    • Replaced RSM's skimmer with a Hydor Slim Skim skimmer,

    • Added an MP10 with Ecotech's backup battery,

     

    Tomorrow I'm placing a 5" reactor from BRS on board for Rox GAC and GFO only if needed later, I'll mix it in with the Rox if so.

     

    The only other thing I can see myself putting on this tank is a WXM module, and a Tunze Osmolator at some point.

     

    Automation is really important for me as I'm pretty busy with a lot of other things going on so maintenance is streamlined for me. Couple hours spread out over the week is enough :) Don't get me wrong, I love to dabble when I can!

     

    The tank is almost ready for stocking some corals and I'm really interested to know what raises really well in these smaller systems? I'm assuming Zoas, some other softies, LPS, and some SPS are in order. I'm a little nervous about mushrooms, but I love they're displaying colors. Xenia always looks great, but it has to be tamed. I've done GSP as a beginner years ago and learned quickly the possible issues that could ensue and got rid of it.

     

    Anyway, thanks for any suggestions and recommendations!
