If @maxs55 doesn't take it, I'll take it @Solitaryensis. I'm in Berkeley.

Adding my name to list if one becomes available

I haven't housed multiple tangs but been reading about it. One flag is having two of the same genus (Acanthurus). This post has lots of good insights: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/tang-aggression-understanding-and-combating.215698/

Nice looking acans!

I mean, to be fair, I must like it on some level too, since it's been there for 5 weeks :p!

Completely redid my aquascape to make it much more sparse, as I took to heart the idea of thinking where you want to go and know that corals will hopefully fill up the space. Ignore some of the rocks just siting on shelfs and in corners. Just moving some of those around, like the rock on the...

Some new pictures. Done a number of things. I certainly can tidy it all up, but it's nice to have some of this set up. Set up ATO with kalk in the laundry room to feed through the wall to the sump, which has been great. Still fiddling though with the siphon break not always working properly...

I tried to get more photos. Not sure these are any better.

Perhaps. I just thought they it looked different than what I've seen on this coral and others. It doesn't look like individual tentacles, but a thin gauzy piece that moves together when I blow a little water over it. But I'm all new to this, so I figured I'd ask.

It's on the top of the lowest polyp in the photo. So around 6 o'clock.

All, Noticed these white egg like things on this favia frag. Has been in the tank for 3 weeks and first time I noticed this. Nothing on any other frags nearby. Any idea what this is and if it's anything I should deal with? It's all in my frag QT tank with other frags, some snails, and an emerald...

I think this is a very good question. Many examples in nature where mortal danger triggers reproduction.

@nly04 I didn't go all the way. I ordered online, and they shipped for free. I wanted to support quasi-local and was looking for a cheap frag pack to get started, as this is my first foray into corals.

The photo is of the LPS. A few zoa, palys, and a leather also came. I got them from Your Reef Aquarium.

Just some photos of some frags I acquired from a mixed frag pack.

Been a while since updating this. Moved around rock. I let the algae run its course a bit and was brutally ugly. Did a water change and finally cleaned glass, scrubbed a few rocks. Algae seems to be less aggressive after that. Going to get a refugium going soon. Only one firefish in the tank...

@boun11 @Solitaryensis @Coral reefer Thanks for the offers. I'll definitely take you up on it. I just got my frag QT setup, so need it to cycle, which I think will be fast b/c I'm using live rock. @Coral reefer I do make it out to SF on occasion and certainly my partner is in the city quite...

Yes, I got it from Nelson

I'm in Berkeley.

They're the AI Hydra 26 that I think came with the Red Sea Deluxe setups.
