oops, you are correct. bad autocomplete.

only the clowns for @Apon, the blue green blasto which will be fragged, the two nems (@molabecirovic and @sfsuphysics) re spoken for. Sorry, I didn't have a chance to follow up with people until today. I just got the saw from @Kensington Reefer so will be able to frag.

One BTA us going to @MolaMola and the other to @sfsuphysics (if he still wants it).

I have been informed that the BTA I have is not the Dolphin Pet Village variety. The one I have is light green base and orange tentacles and splits frequently. It's apparently prized by clownflish breeders for the frequent splitting. It has split at least half a dozen times in the 5 years I have...

I don't plan to have a tank in Hawaii. As far as I can tell without a special license it is illegal to have a tank in Hawaii. No collection and no importation is allowed.

Unfortunately I lost the foxface magnifica and the agricara when it got hot in August. I was really bummed at the time. The tank was not doing well after taking down the attached frag tank and the hot weather nearly crashed it entirely.

The time for teardown has come. I will be distributing livestock and coral next Saturday January 11th and hopefully draining my tank on Sun January 12th. I had plans to frag up the corals but I have not had time so I will be giving away full colonies. I was slow in dealing with hair algae...

I added phosban and charcoal to my sump in a bag and it seems to be helping tame the hair algae. In other news, I am less than a month from tearing down my tank and the clown fish have decided that after 9 years now is the time to notice the anemones that I thoughtful provided over the last decade.

I was planning to do the next stage of my tank tear down in two weeks but will perhaps be doing it sooner.... If power is out on Thursday I will do an emergency teardown. My prioirity would be the fish and livestock, but I would try to save the coral as well. Should it be necessary, buckets of...

Trying to restabilize display tank

My display tank has a temporary reprieve due to delays in moving to Hawaii but it has not been doing well since I took down the frag flat. The chemistry has been messed up and there have been explosions of hair algae. In the recent heat wave I lost a fish, the foxface, which I was extremely...

Yikes. I have been using vinegar baths for years. I have had a couple of cases of impellers expanding and seizing powerheads. I had switched for other reasons to citric acid about a year ago (mostly because I had tons of it from bath products making supplies).

Sorry to hear that your always excellent tanks have suffered from PG&E mismanagement.

I've had my dream tank. 92G corner and 60x30x18 flat. I wish I had had a few more years with the final setup and the experience to really grow serious coral and enjoy the fish after finally getting everything dialed in. Oh well, I really enjoyed it while I had it!

The frag flat take down is complete! Thank you to @NelsonCh, @euod, @Oliver and @Zero Gravitas for coming by to help clear it out last weekend. I got the lights rearranged, plumbing cleaned up and empty tank moved on Friday. I am planning to saw up and/or give away my encrusted rocks and...

Frag tank teardown underway

I have posted on my tank thread some larger colonies of basic corals that I am giving away to empty my frag tank. Free to whoever comes and gets them.

I found that I had a bunch of stuff that did not fit in to the display tank. I would like to get these out of the tank ASAP so I can finish draining the frag tank. Free to first to come get them. I will probably try to give you other coral as well. ;-) I have an old 1'x1' Green Marine frag rack...

Thank greatly to @NelsonCh and his friend for coming by to help with teardown. I was able to clear up some space and got almost everything transfered to the display tank. I will be draining the frag tank tomorrow and replumbing a bit to make the media reactor and calcium reactor inline with the...
