Hi all, apologies if this is in the wrong place and needs to be moved. I have 3-4 AI Hydra 52 lights that I don’t need anymore. I bought them in 2014 but they’ve had their power supplies replaced in the last year. All work fine to grow coral. I’ll attach a pic of the tank they were on. I...

Man, this sucks so hard. Patrick volunteered for me at CAS for years and as anybody who knew him can attest he was one of the nicest, funniest, and kindest human beings around. He was way too young and way too cool to leave us. Rest in peace my friend.

Ha! I love that last picture! Felicia, thanks for organizing, and everybody who attended thanks so much for coming and being great guests! It is really a pleasure to show people around who can appreciate and understand what they're looking at and ask such great questions.

All sorts of ideas have been thrown out as guesses as to why they lose or gain the bubbles. No one knows for sure. FWIW I have seen apparently healthy specimens in the wild with and without the bubbles in similar habitats. They certainly seem to do fine in captivity with and without the...

Tangs are already overrepresented in our big tank, and that's about the only place he could go.

Hi all, I have an 8" Acanthurus thompsoni that has outgrown a 100g corner tank. If you want it, and have a large reef system suitable for caring for it, he's all yours. I will arrange delivery to you if you're near Walnut Creek, SF, or somewhere in between. FYI this animal is NOT...

Yeah, sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I don't have access to the Buy/Sell forum.

I have a 24g JBJ nanocube thing that I made rimless. I'd like to sell it and all associated equipment. This would include: 1) The tank (a bit used, but no major scratches or leaks) 2) An AI NANO LED fixture (used about 1 month, $300 new) 3) MaxiJet 1200 (one of the new ones, can...

Hmm, good question that I don't know the answer to. Based on the girth and egg load of some female anthias, and how few they actually release during spawning, I would strongly suspect that they can spawn every single night. It is certainly possible in many other fish species.

Interested in delivery service. Probably something like 100g/week.

Hi Erick, this is Halichoeres pictus or "Rainbow Wrasse" from the Caribbean. I have been searching far and wide for photos of this fish in aquariums but it seems they are just incredibly rare in the trade (although not in the wild). They are among the smallest Halichoeres in the Caribbean...

That was me, although I would say I saved the Caribbean display, not destroyed it. Besides huge carpets of invasive Erythropodium coral (which grows up the base of and smothers gorgonians), the life support and flow in this tank were really inadequate. Gorgonians did not grow well. Stony...

Hi Steve, yes Tim took those with him before he left. Did he get his flash drive back? Thanks again for the help.

Yes! So glad you guys enjoyed it and took away good messages! Mark, that is worth a shot. I have used a red light on them in the past and they seem to ignore it. You can also train them eventually to come to a dim light (like a moonlight) if you turn it on at feeding time. That will...

I'm a dunce and ordered a spare 90gpd RO membrane and a bunch of DI resin from Spectrapure. I have not had a home RO/DI system in over 6 years and somehow completely forgot these products have a shelf life. So, I'd rather give them away than go through the hassle of sending them back. If...

We use FRP grating or beams under our acrylic tanks and sumps to create a flat surface on non-flat floors. Acrylic needs to sit on a nice flat surface. If it's not perfectly flat, I would agree that foam will not fix that problem because pressure points will still be created. For...

All yours John. You coming through the city anytime soon? I can bring them into work for you to pick up, or you could swing by my apt (I'm in the Sunset right near CAS). LMK, I'm 530 219 6002 if you want to call me.

I have 2 Aquatainer jugs from Cabela's that were shipped to me on accident. Cabela's said keep them (shipping them back isn't worth the cost I guess). First person who wants them can come get them. Just reply to this thread to claim them. You'll need to pick them up in SF, I work...

We have the stands bolted to the floors, then lips on the stands made of FRP to keep the tank from sliding. I think the assertion that any quake big enough to knock your tank over will also knock your entire house down is an extraordinary claim.

Thanks Levi and Jimmy! Jimmy I emailed this to you too but it may as well be posted here: "http://www.reefhobbyistmagazine.com/downloads/pdf/version17.pdf I've had good luck getting them to eat pellet eventually but it takes quite some time. Initially live brine, frozen mysis...
