I'm in the process of tearing my tank down and have around 100 lbs. of rock i'm giving away. this rock is mostly reel-reef rock, some is macro rock and almost all has a lot of bumps and crevices. It's in my tank and most has algae growing on it, but if you clean it off there are a lot of...

As some of you know John (aka 'Screebo') has broken down his tank and graciously donated many of his corals to BAR. This is one of those. It's a nice colony of blastos that I've cut into 2 good-sized frags with multiple heads. Frags are fully healed and doing nicely. I'll bring them to the...

As some of you know John (aka 'Screebo') has broken down his tank and graciously donated many of his corals to BAR. This is one of those. It's a red chalice with green eyes and a green rim. I have several frags of it, ideally a couple go in the BAR propagation tank. I'll have some at the frag...

Does anyone know where I can find a Nudibranch that'll take care of my aptasia? I don't remember ever seeing them at LFS, but maybe i'm not checking with ones that carry them. I've tried tons of peppermint shrimp, which have always worked for me in the past but they don't seem to do much for me...

I've got a 3 polyp frag of Blue hornets for DBTC- the 3 in a row on the upper right of the plug. The only 2 rules are you must have some success growing zoa and you must give 2 back to DBTC before selling or trading. Pick a # from 1-10, pickup a BAR meeting on 6/8.

After the BAR meeting perusing Aquatic collection they had a carpet anemone that sparked my interest and after some contemplation & encouragement I took the plunge and got him. He's the haddoni species and so far doing well. The question I have is about lighting, knowing they take a lot of...

While watching the Neptunes impressive display tank, which has become part of my habit visiting that store, I got interested in adding some lyretail anthias to my tank. I'm curious as to how people that have them like them- are they hardy? how often do you feed them? Would 1x/ day be enough...

I'm puzzled as to what's causing occasional mystery deaths to some of my LPS. What happens is that one of my LPS; acan, blasto or even chalice, will be doing fine and overnight 1 head is completely wiped out- like it's been picked clean to the bone. I attached a picture of a blasto that lost 1...

I just mounted over my tank the new Kessil 350W which I like, however the shimmer lines are very strong which I don't like. My other lighting was MH and I've also had a couple LEDs before, but those were spread out so while I had shimmer lines before, I never had a point source light like...

I got this weird hairy cone shaped sponge (I think) thing with feelers coming out of it. It's good at spreading to nearby areas which concerns me as I've had something that looks real cute get not-so-cute after it's spread everywhere. Does anyone know what it is & if its good to keep? a...

I know there's some good knowledge in this club about clownfish & the captive propogated ones. I see the babies @ LFS like Neputnes all happily co-minging and wondering if getting 4 would work out in a large tank- like a 180? If there were say 2 different anenmomes or frogspawns so they could...

I've got a bunch of small slugs/ snails in my nano that i'm thinking of putting in my Display which has almost no inverts. Can anyone ID these or advise if they're safe? they're up to 3/8" long and have a shell which covers most of their body. pic of 5 slugs & 1 bristleworm:

This is the start of a new journey for me, redoing my tank with a variety of changes. I know I'm breaking BAR tradition by starting a tank thread when there IS water in the tank, so please forgive me for this. :D As some of you may know, my previous 180 tank had been in a steady state of...

I've got an ATB skimmer with Eheim 1250 and it's worked great for 5 years or so, however over the past year or so it's hard to get it to turn on and now it's to the point where I can't even get it to turn on anymore. I can tell the pump unit vibrates when it's powered on, but no impeller...

I'd like to do a backwall of rock and have seen some info on youtube & other sites about using black pondfoam, eggcrate, cables ties & 2 part epoxy from a hobby shop. I have a 10 lb. bucket of Emaco from Marco rocks but I don't think it'll go very for when used for a wall. Has anyone tried...

Just like the subject line says, I'm curious if people have had luck keeping bubble algae out of their tank, even if making the effort from the very start of their tank. I'm talking 100% bubble algae free for let's say a 2 or more year duration- is that doable? I tried to keep bubble algae...

thought I'd share the experience I just had with my Yellow Coris Wrasse. Around 2 months ago I saw he disappeared from my Frag tank. He had made it to the sump but I didn't know it at that time. I drained the water from my tank and sump around 2-3 weeks ago and left the sump sit in the tank...

In my nano tank I added a little sodium bicarbonate to the top off water in an effort to raise the alk. Unfortunately all I got was a white cloud when the water hit the tank and what's left is white residue over ~80% of the glass. Has this happened to anyone and is there an easier way to clean...

I'm thinking about going full LED lighting for a biocube and have seen how there are a lot of LED wavelengths & colors to choose from. Has anyone tried a variety of wavelengths, especially the newer UV & Magenta bulbs, to see how they look and if the corals color up much more? I'm primarily...

Gdawson's thread got me thinking about coral warfare and a possibility that may have happened to me. A few months ago I cut off of my Green Nepthia colony one of 2 main branches, about .5" diameter and that branch never really recovered, rather it slowly receded. Now it's dead but the other...
