@Kensington Reefer Thank you again! Is there a DBTC thread that I should register them with?

@MolaMola If you want to wait, that's absolutely fine. To answer your questions: - The tank has only been running for a few weeks, but I used live sand, and I added live rocks from my last tank, and a few ammonia-eaters (an established mangrove and some mushroom corals) to the small tank that's...

Thanks @Chrism1330 . Not sure when I can make it down to SJ.

I've added my first tank inhabitants. Two rock anemones and a blenny, who is still in the hiding-from-me phase.

Thanks @clownvan! I've watched that one before, and some of their other videos about that tank. It was my original inspiration.

If you have one available, I would love a frag of this one.

When you have one available, I would love a frag!

Do you currently have any extras? I would love one from my anemone tank that I just started.

Interesting—the only advise that I’ve seen online so far was to have as many men’s as possible. I’ll keep in mind the advice about having some uncovered rock.

A few months ago, I took this tank down. I realized that I wasn't doing the maintenance often enough, and I wanted to go out on a high-note without having one-too-many alk swings and killing everything. I'm already starting over with what I hope will be a lower-maintenance set up, and in any...

Got it. Yes, a dead whale would be a good situation for a necropsy :)

Necrosis, not necropsy. Yes, it happened over about a day and a half.

I did this fairly recently with a huge toadstool. It's now doing great. The biggest problem was holding it in one spot while it attached to a new rock, which took a long time. Eventually I followed instructions I found online and glued toothpicks upright to a rock and then impaled the coral on...

My really big purple stylo colony started dying back to the skeleton. Don't know what caused it--parameters look great, and I haven't changed anything recently. I managed to make a lot of frags cut well above the RTN (it was a huge colony), and I managed to remove the rest form the tank. Took a...
