Yes, but using a scalpel to cut a gorgonian piece and carefully carve off the tissue at the base to reveal the wiry core is hella cool when you are 13.

Changed up the gorgonian station in our semester frag-o-rama due to past issues at the mounting step. Tried two techniques: drilled holes in skeletons or rocks, and thin super glue in sand. We fragged two former large frags from @Apon and a massive gorg from @Kensington Reefer. Still haven't...

Oh, I was stressed and super sad. Now that I think about it, I recall they ate some huge monti caps in my big tank that I thought was from a different reason. But like you say, there are so many other corals we can easily go monti-free.

Oh, no. I had them a few years ago in a frag tank and just didn’t keep montis in there for a long time. Strangely, they did not touch one certain monti. They did not eat anything else though I think I had no euphyllia in there.

Tunze Turbelle Controller 7090.500. Was hardwired to Nanostream 6095 until I had to replace motor block due to insulation issue. I have no extra cables for it and the end to the pump is just cut cable. Ports shown on unit. In Pleasant Hill. I could save it for a club meetup if you’re not in a...

I think someone here might appreciate this classic analog oscilloscope. I got it used for my audiophile husband and was told it works but he has never tried it and would like to pass it on. In Pleasant Hill.

So...lowboy frag tank. Everyone's looks awesome except mine! What are you all doing for flow? I searched people's posts and most of you seem to have a sump as well as circ pumps. I have no sump, but a circ pump at one end and an in-tank skimmer return at other (which doesn't really have anything...

BC29 screen top from Kraken Reef - great purchase! The BioCube has a weird shape and our DIY screen to keep fish in was pretty bad. The screen is not cheap, but it is well made, fits perfectly, and you can order custom cord cutouts, light mounts, etc. (I did not). Some people do not love the...

Impressive life under your watch! I told one of my classes and they suggest memorializing him like we did our big snail by using the shell to hold a small epiphyte (air plant):

First attempt at snail overflow barrier made of plastic screen. My drain is finicky and I need to be able to see the water level, and also the plumbing is proud in a couple spots. Planned on using flexible polycarbonate scraps, but in a test they were always obscured by condensation and salt...

Sorry to hear about JoJo. I am glad you had him and also, how cool that he led you to reefkeeping.

OMG I have a Prizm (home tank long ago), CPR Remora (attempt at 10 gal school tank long ago), and a Remora Pro (got free when someone moved). ooh aah

Is that a skimmer-filter combo? Interesting.

Thanks for the awesome tour of your tank inhabitants and system! So many cool projects involved behind the scenes. And so much diverse life in your tank - love it.

Exciting to set up a new tank! Glad you're back into it.

This is going to provide great experiences for many young people in @jstiltne's classroom. You are awesome @Marlinnhag!

Thanks for the info! I will definitely move mine up.

Heehee. Nice and simple. This skimmer must be first run of AquaC - only adjustment is exit gate valve! Main tank skimmer is later version, fancy like adjustable air intake. It has awesome auto waste collector that closes itself with a floating ping pong ball in case it fills up. Perfect for a...

Can you get a pic of that algae? If you can block some light with one hand and take photo with other hand it might block the blue without messing with your lighting.

Sneak peek at long awaited lowboy frag tank (courtesy of @ashburn2k)! One delay after another, feared school would close down in Jan/Feb, months of having to cover extra classes, expected teacher strike, etc. We started cycling it fishless with inoculated marine pure balls, small LR, ammonia, Dr...
