I was using a 5 foot or so boom to help not spook the fish. And most of the time I'm not looking at them or making eye contact as that's the thing that always scares them.

Oh ya... I think they are white cheeked gold rim tangs and convict tangs

If you are into tangs, this might a cool view. Tang Video 1 Tang Video 2

Just an Update. @psidriven really saved the day for me here..... While im stuck in a foreign county, he brought straps and RODI water to my house and handled business. Tank is strapped up. ATO is topped off. A plan is established and morale is high. So a direct thank you to him as well as...

I can pm you. And thank you for any help if it happens.

I had my only friend in Berkeley do this this morning. That is the extent of their capabilities unfortunately. I have a about a 1" spacer on the down tube that I could remove but they where not comfortable doing that

Can anyone help me understand what's better.... running my return pump, or letting it chill. Is there a minimum I should run it. Would an hour on, hour off help or hurt?

Im working on this part of the solution. Im originally from north bay so I'd be having someone come from there.

I completely agree. Berkeley/Orinda 40 gallon with 10 gallon sump. I have buckets and tubs. Im just not in the country.

Yes.... Im on Vacation. Turned on the Camera this morning to see drips coming down my tank. I called a friend to go over in which they show me it is coming from top corner of glass. One drip every 15 seconds or so. It seems to slow down when i turn my return pump off and let the water drain...

I wish I could sign up for these. Im trying to populate my first tank that's about 8 months old. I just am unfortunately not going to be able to attend the frag swap. I'll be swimming with hammerheads so I'll be out of the country. I'll have to wait till the next one. Hopefully by then I'll...

Thanks @Alexander1312 I was planning on coming on and providing some feedback but got caught up with the workweek. Here is my attempt now. I actually appreciate a lot of the responses here. I agree with some that I am overthinking it a little, but I was doing it on purpose a little bit...

Im not sure if this is the appropriate place to discuss this, but this thread has brought up some worries for me to now participate in any future frag swaps. Simply for fear of disappointing. I am somewhat a newbie to reefing and also to fragging. I have not had many failures yet fragging but...

Are these "Reef Safe"?

I am aware of the concerns with the palythoa and am just treating them like they are undesirable and potentially unsafe. It is a big reason why I am spinning up a different tank as I plan to quarantine and try to kill it off. But as of now I don't have any pressing issues and am enjoying the tank.

Just adding that I think I found a good 3-6 more in the same spot of the tank. Under that little shelf looks like 3-4 under there. That top one almost appears like it has a mouth. Thoughts? Still a sponge? Still ok to leave as a science experiment?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not super harmful or invasive? So I just let it grow and see if everyone is right?

Here have been my Go-To's since getting into the hobby. I think these are tailored for beginners like myself. I like to understand what im doing and why and these have been the best for my specific learning style. Newbie Tank Build Playlist (Saltwater Aquarium Channel - Generally Good...

Looking for help identifying this thing. I found it at the base of my zenia. There are a pair a clowns, a lawnmower blenny, and a pygmy hawk fish. I also have snails, hermits, and crabs. Any ideas? Sorry about the potato photos.

Thanks everyone. After listening to opinions here and talking with others in the hobby, I will mostly likely be getting a combination of live rock and ocean water from @under_water_ninja and High Tide Aquatics. It seems like the safe reasonable bet, is also here locally, and is a great...
