A few weeks ago i ended up buying a foxface a malanarus wrasse and a CCB from Violet Aquarium which ended up dying due to starvation. Eventually the fox and wrasse will outgrow the tank and I’ll have to give them another home.

May 2nd I bought a lemonpeel from Aquatic Collection. I didn’t know they weren’t reef safe but hey here we are so far doing good. Nips here and there at corals but noticed it’s mainly my acans and zoas. Hasn’t touch the hammers or torches. Fish caught my attention due to its color and blue ring...

Tank was running well. I started buying coral stocking up on frags. I borrowed the par meter from the club got my par reading with all the lights set to 100% as someone else recommended to do to get an accurate reading of how strong the lights are at full power

I had all the live stock put into a 40g breeder. Once the tank was ready and up and running with water I started adding live stock little by little sculpting the rocks how I like although it’s a little challenging with the anemones on the rocks it limits me on placement. I ended up sculpting it...

Beginning to put water in the tank if I remember correctly I used about 60% of the water I saved and 40g of new saltwater. Setting up all the equipment was a hassle considering I didn’t know anything about how all this high end stuff works, it’s very advanced to me considering I’m used to tanks...

Not current, I took these pix when I acquired the tank. Finally getting around to making a journal.

Made it home with the tank loaded everything off the U-Haul van with a buddy. The cleaning process began, I started scraping off all the algae from the glass. The tank seemed to have been neglected for some time. Which is understandable considering the previous owner had other responsibilities...

March 28,2024 I bought a Red Sea reefer 250 tank from a member on BAR. Process was long that day. Didn’t expect a tank this size to be so much work. Borker helped me break down the tank. All the live stock and rocks went into the orange buckets as for water I saved about 40g of it. Specs and...

Hey @RandyC I’ll pm you

Where are you located would I be able to get some from you?

Would you recommend keeping the Halymenia in the display tank and the Cheeto in the refugium or best to just keep both in the same chamber?

I wont be at the frag swap unfortunately… I’m leaving that day to Hawaii. My next question would be is it possible to have two types of macro algae? I’m supposed to pick up that red macro from JVU but am I allowed to keep two types in the refugium is that ideal? Or it’s best to keep one type

does anyone have some Chaeto they can spare so I can start up a refugium? I was looking at AlgaeBarn but I thought I might ask here first. I’m located in SF.

Looking good!

Got it yea waiting for Chemi clean to be done with than I’ll add carbon again

Lately my toadstool has been looking like it’s wet or giving of a sweat wet look. Hasn’t been opening up lately and just looks like this in the picture. Could this be related the the cyano in the tank? (Currently being treated with chemiclean). Is it normal for toad to looks like that and have...

Yes sir, I’ll be sure to stop by this weekend and see Steve.

Appreciate that info. Depending how long my procedure today at Kaiser takes I will for sure be up for that! I’ll pm you in a bit!

Glad you mentioned this because I also was actually going to go buy this book today at half priced books in Dublin.
