Yeah I think they did. This new tank has been running almost a year seeded with live rock. I'm wondering if they're finally big enough now to be more noticable.

I just noticed I've got a good number of these in the tank - I think they're porcelain crabs? They only come out late at night, and they're real fast. But I just added a couple clams to the tank and don't want to risk them getting picked at. Any ideas...

Not trying to hijack the thread here - but anybody coming to the event have an old powerhead lying around they want to sell for cheap? I just need a dumb weak one to point at an anemone and get him to move. Thanks!

I'm in! I'll bring my award-winning brisket chili. Award: my mom said it was alright.

I did manual removal, nutrient drop, and added this thing to outcompete algae in the display tank - Algae Scrubber - no problems since. And this is with me purposely keeping my phosphates a little on the high side because I like happy torches.

Hey @B the Nano Reefer, IDK your mixing situation, I'm up the street from you and have 40 gallons of RODI on hand that I can mix with your salt of choice if you need more water for changes.

Awesome info - thanks so much, I've been wanting to take some time to play around with it more. I too am cleaning the glass every day. It's a lot.

Or ..... if there's a way to just not show DBTC or BARcode threads as highlights on the front page. We probably don't need a featured post every time someone borrows the bandsaw....

Hey All - update long overdue. Against my wallet's better judgement I decided to start a second tank. I picked up a RS130 from Under the Sea Aquatics, and decided I wanted something lower maintenance in my home office to enjoy when I'm in my work/study cave. Got it several months ago and have...

@JVU Power outages rolling near your area of WC right now too. Just a heads up.
