I've had a recent explosion in asterina stars in my 200g tank. While I don't really mind the starfish, I've been curious about getting one of the starfish-eating shrimp available to the hobby -- harlequins, bongos, or bumblebee shrimps. The thing is, I've also got two large (one is 6" across...

I've been trying to avoid buying/selling/trading corals locally due to this whole shelter-in-place thing... but seriously, the frags are starting to PILE UP... Accidentally breaking off branches of sps here and there Mushrooms popping off rocks and flying around the tank until I stuff them in...

I installed a Trident and Apex DOS earlier this year. Alkalinity / Calcium levels in the tank were actually stable for more than a few days at a time, for the first time ... ever? The corals noticed Alk consumption started to get kinda ridiculous. I finally had to admit defeat and switch to...

I set up a QT tank in order to treat a new batch of fish before introducing them to my display. I finally added the fish to the display a week or so ago and it looks like everything is going well - so it's time to break down the QT. Purchasing all the STUFF needed to run a decent QT tank was a...

I picked up a couple new frags from Neptune this weekend, plus a few frags that needed to be moved for various reasons, and tonight seemed like as good a time as any to glue them up to the rockwork before the maroon clown did her thing and buried them. I was down the the last... damn ... frag...

I’m looking to add some new fish to the tank for the first time in several years, so it’s time to get a QT up and running. Before I go out and buy a bunch of new gear, I thought I’d ask if anyone has a 15-20g setup (tank/filter/heater/lid) they’re looking to sell or loan out.

@dswong01 was kind enough to give me a frag of green kenya tree when I was looking for one, and it was indeed solid green when it came to me, but it doesn't want to stay green in my tank. It's grown well - I can pass along 2 frags toothpick'd to a rock Two frags back to DBTC before selling...

Long-green-polyp toadstool frags, in various states of mostly/barely/not attached to anything. I suspect it's the same morph in this thread: http://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/dbtc-neon-green-polyp-toadstool.19235/ Also have several frags of large-polyp toadstool, sorta like this but with a...

I've got a eurobraced tank, just looking to drop a few pellets in throughout the day to supplement the big feeding I do when I get home from work. The reviews for these things are all over the place - does anyone have one that they really LIKE?

I looked around and couldn't find much. Are there any established servers? Created one here if there's not alternatives: https://discord.gg/4wgazxn

Don't laugh, but I've never had a colt coral before. Or ever really paid them any attention. Figured it was time to see what all the fuss is about, so I put two "colt coral" frags in an online shopping cart and hit go. One of them is turning out to be the usual monster - pale-ish base...

I'm in the market for a new sump, and finally (don't laugh) for the first time going to have an ATO set up. Is there a good/better/best ranking of different ATO switch systems? Float vs optical vs ??? I don't have any patience for 'fiddly' gear that requires frequent maint/tweaking to work...

I have a few leftover frags after rearranging the tank. Pick up in San Mateo or I can bring to CFM. Free for BAR members Spaghetti leather 1. MolaMola 2. nbaiju 3. molabecirovic Paly grandis 1. molabecirovic Orange rhodactis 1. dswong01 2. MolaMola Orange/green rhodactis 1. dswong01 2...

Between work and other hobbies, my tank has been in maintenance mode for awhile now. Feeding the fish, refilling chems, and the occasional water changes has actually worked pretty well for this primarily-softies setup - all the fish and corals are healthy and growing. But the majano population...

I bought this tank to QT a batch of new fish. Now that's all over with, it's time to move the setup along to the next person who needs a QT/Hospital/whatever tank. Totally Plug-N-Play: Tank, stand, light fixture, HOB filter, heater, and even a new ammonia alert badge.

So I came across a nice frag of stylocoeniella the other day and had to have it. I've killed a bunch of these, with plenty of help from my wormy friend. Now that the worm is gone, I'd like to be able to see actual GROWTH on this thing. I see relatively few photos of these growing in hobbyist...

Happy Halloween! And Robert was Right.

ahh, tank has been nothing but adventure lately! Any invert ID experts? They look much like teeeenytiny mantises about an 3/4-1" long.

Alllright, good/bad/ugly?

I'm looking to borrow a ~100g livestock bin for a month or so. Can pick up and return anywhere in the region, just let me know what your terms are :)
