We've just set up a large coral flat (8' X 4') and can accommodate your corals if you want to bring them. I have some pieces of frogspawn/hammer and birdsnest available too.

Just imagine during the 60 s available for picking a coral if you are waiting for the image to download...

Large stream pumps (6200/6201/6205/6305/whatever they are called). I've had a number of them go down after 7+ years of continuous service. Guess that's a pretty good record...

I've got a lot of stuff available. I'll take whoever comes on a tour of all my stuff that is available! Here's a list of some items. For prices and pictures, see: http://www.bareefers.org/home/node/14593 Unloading: Tanks: 120G 4X2X2 TruVu display with stand + canopy (formerly...

I also remove, rinse, replace what isn't mush and then top off with fresh.

I hard plumb all the chillers and works fine. Be sure to use teflon tape on your threaded connections to reduce chances of leaks, and don't over tighten.

One thing to remember is that the oyster industry on the west coast is NOT based on a local native oyster that evolved under the highly pH variable conditions that characterize our coast. Rather, the species is an oyster that is native to warmer waters and requires warm temperatures during the...

Indeed yes. Though some BAR members have been to RTC before.

Oyster hatcheries have been having a lot of problems with upwelled water affecting survival of larvae. These problems seem to be related to the fact that presently our upwelled water has a lower pH than upwelled water of even 10 years ago. The larvae are very sensitive and present-day pH...

The tour part will consist of me showing you the site with a bit of history, I'll show you a number of different research aquarium systems, including the main pumping operation, settling tanks, and a variety of flow-through and recirculating systems, we can peek at some experiments underway, and...

good idea!

I'm looking forward to showing folks around our research aquarium systems as well as my display reef, and am hoping to find a good home for some of the gear we are not using!

You can be sure whatever comes next will be better, and we can be even more envious of Jeremy's many talents.

Erin, we gotta get you out of Kensington once in a while.

I've found it takes three or four days before Salinity is fully dissolved and ready to use. I try to mix it at least a week in advance.

It's been a while since I posted an update... Here are some pics from yesterday. I changed the MH bulbs to some old 20Ks that I hadn't thrown out yet a few days prior. Though will switch back to the 10Ks next week as growth is much better. The pics are viewable in the link below...

Sorry I missed the meeting and will look forward to the video. Like Mike, I had some pressing issues at home to deal with.

Hard to tell from the video. Black tipped claws are often seen on xanthid crabs (stone crabs), which are often destructive in reefs. Can you take a close-up photo?

Shrimp also love them. I had a healthy colony of them in my 12g nano, then added some peppermint shrimp to eat the Aiptasia. The shrimp did quite well, but mostly ate Stomatella - now there are none.

Sea sweep looks like it could be a great product. I've been thinking about modifying a motor to turn my tunze's from side to side for quite some time...
