I normally wouldn't post pictures of a quarantine aquarium, but John @Flagg37 double dared me to quit lurking. Here are just some casual pictures of my small holding tank as I upgrade to a 72 incher. This QT tank has been in continuous operation for about 10 years, but the live sand & rocks are...

I'm curious to know too. Shopping for a skimmer rated for 200g or 300g tank. Quiet efficiency is a priority. Are external skimmers better than in sump?

Thanks Vincent, how long do you leave it in the Bayer, SPS versus LPS? Be careful buying the Bayer @ Home Depot, the company makes many different insecticides with slightly different looking labels, be sure the label matches the above picture exactly. I don't recommend mixing the Bayer with...

I don't recall the dilution ratio, maybe someone here knows or call John the owner of "Your Reef" for details. Use at your own risk....

I focus more on vector control versus acclimating. My standard procedure: 1. Remove frag from container, dump the water it came with. Initial visual and smell check out of water. If piece smells bad or has too much bryopsis, Cyanobacteria, etc. throw in trash; otherwise continue to step two...

What Mike said. I work in I.T., but I refuse to waste my time on social media like Frackbook. I read a book or interact with human beings in real life instead. This forum should remain live if financially viable. I was about to renew my dues, but if you're dumping this forum, I will have to...

You sound like a drug dealer o_O ...the first one's free....

I had fun at my first ever frag swap, but was not expecting an all day event. I was exhausted once I got home because I also had to drive the length of the Bay Area round trip from Santa Rosa to San Jose. To reduce the length of time, I suggest limiting he groups "A" to "F," and on the second...

Eeek, don't ban the birdsnest corals! I'm glad I got some Ponape because someone else sniped the Bird of Paradise right before me. I agree they should be minicolonies, because a freshly fragged 1cm nugget is just going to get tissue necrosis (saw it on the second Ponape frag). Point is, brown...

John, you need more fish. ;) Actually, I feed TDO to my anemones, mushrooms, and LPS as well. They're sinking pellets, and the corals don't reject the food. In fact, they digest most of it with very little waste produced afterwards.

I'm sooo jealous of the guy that won the TDO raffle. I did manage to buy two packets from him afterwards. He doesn't know it yet, but that's some really good fish food. Gresham turned me on to it. It's very effective in weaning finicky eaters onto pellets. I just wish the 1.3 diameter pellets...

Geez John, calling me out already eh? ... And FYI, I last logged in and posted August 7, 2015.:p Although the time before that was November 12, 2012. I joined BAR in 2010, but was probably lurking years previously. BTW, it was nice to see everyone today and match faces to handles!

YR closes @ 6, while AD (two miles from YR) and AL close @ 7. Aquarium depot is huge, I think the space used to be a small supermarket. Small frag tank had some nice colors, and I picked up a piece, but most of the store was dedicated to freshwater. I was in a time crunch and only spent 10...

Thanks Turtle. I ended up going to Your Reef, Aquarium Depot, and Aqua Life. I met John (the owner?) at Your Reef -- nice guy -- and took home some frags. Even though I was looking for fish, he had some nice zoas and palys, and I couldn't resist the buy 3 get 1 free special. He has some old...

Hello BAR, I have to be in Woodland either Saturday or Sunday, but am completely unfamiliar with the territory. Any recommendations for good reef shops in the Sacramento area? I like SPS, shrooms, & fish. Your help is much appreciated, thank you.

Many eons ago, while still in college, I used to manage a tropical fish store known for quality stock. The owner had a quarantine room for all the incoming fish. Depending on the species and source, QT averaged three weeks, with delicate varieties held longer. In a shipment of fancy guppies from...
