Great pics! What is the yellow round coral? It looks like multiple heads of acans- is it really that yellow or does the camera not show it's true color?

glad to see you made the switch to LED. you'll like the electricity savings.

One option for the topoff water is to use the dosing line you plan for magnesium for the top off water- it's pretty easy to dial in the amount of daily water you'll need. there's also no risk of it staying 'on'. the downside of course if you'll have to manually add mag, but you won't have to...

I haven't done much wtih the DIY LEDs, I've just bough finished ones. My experience is i'm currently trying out and liking a lot 1 AI Vega Color over my 180. I have left AI Vega, middle Kessil 350w and right side Evolution. I like the AI Vega over the others due to to it's color variations &...

I've converted from MH to LEDs about a 1+ yr ago and have been happy, mainly with the cost savings. I'm more of an LPS person but i've had success with a couple of Acros and multiple encrusting montis, althought i've also 'cooked' a few montis by putting them too high under the LEDs. the LEDs...

Great, just what I need- another reason to go to Neptunes. :D nice acans & favias!

i suggest taking a water sample to a LFS and verifying the parameters match your test kits. I've had questionable results w/ my refractometer recently, different readings on the same sample. it didn't used to do that and it caused my salinity to get too high for a bit. Not that I think this...

this is the place. you won't get steered wrong.

Welcome and I also encourage you to set it up with a bit more planning. Get the good taste back in your mouth about reefing.

Count me in, i'll bring some snickerdoodle cookies.

Wow, now that's a great lineup of speakers & events. Happy new year to all!

While watching the Neptunes impressive display tank, which has become part of my habit visiting that store, I got interested in adding some lyretail anthias to my tank. I'm curious as to how people that have them like them- are they hardy? how often do you feed them? Would 1x/ day be enough...

Thanks a bunch Erin for all your hard work. Welcome Nish & nice job stepping up volunteering!

yowzers those are sweet!

Ugh! i'll have to be on the midnight prowl with my flashlight to ID the culprit.

I'm puzzled as to what's causing occasional mystery deaths to some of my LPS. What happens is that one of my LPS; acan, blasto or even chalice, will be doing fine and overnight 1 head is completely wiped out- like it's been picked clean to the bone. I attached a picture of a blasto that lost 1...

good update! how do you keep the sand so white? do you vacuum it during water changes?

Nice setup! Well thought out but i'd be nervous with the electrical wires & ballasts exposed.

I'm interested in that trip too. Regarding the talk, it was enjoyable, informative and had good entertainment value to boot.

Photography would be interesting & informative- whether smartphone or DSLR. If there could be a small tank with a couple corals showing how to shoot them and then displaying via overhead projector to edit & color balance that would be super cool.
