    Can fish and coral survive overnight in a brute trash can

    In anticipation for my tank move, I’m planning for a worst case scenario where I have to take more than a day. If I leave some rock in the brute, can I house a yellow tang, and two wrasses in there overnight? It’d in about 15G or water also, any chance I could store coral in there as well, or...

    Torch extension

    These torches have been in there for awhile, and they are for sure not the cristata torches...I’m thinking it might be too much par?

    Torch extension

    They’ve never been super long from what I can remember...didn’t think the difference was that drastic though

    Torch extension

    I’ve been trying to figure out why my torches don’t have much polyp extension. They’re colored fine and get fed, but I don’t see the crazy long polyp extensions that I see some torches have. They’re not in any direct flow from what I can tell and seem to get less violent flow than some of the...

    Tank Setup Services?

    Does anyone know of any services out there that could help breakdown an existing tank as well as setup a new one? I'm really aiming to have a new tank setup in December, but with a 2nd little one on the way, I don't think I'll be able to dedicate the time needed to successfully tear down...

    Ich from Urchins?

    Not to point fingers, but every time I tank a frag from Neptune, my yellow tang will develop ich for a bit and then it'll go away...Correlation isn't causation but since we both got frags from there recently and my yellow tang is also showing a few spots, maybe there's something there? I have...

    I don’t remember what Randy looks like..only met him once when I went to check out his 25G lagoon before I got into the hobby....I think my brain just assumed randy cause it was an Asian dude looking at sticks lol...I make myself sound terrible

    Acro ID

    yes that was me! Didn’t have room for a huge colony so I didn’t grab any of the milles :( it doesn’t have the coloration of the bonsais, but the polyps look bonsai-ish

    Acro ID

    I picked this up from Neptune the other day...the worker told me he had fragged it about 2 days before since the colony was STNing. Any idea what it is? Tips are a light pastel blue and the body is light brownish with green polyps

    Ofzakaria wild soli

    Its 3 rocks that roughly stack up to the same level...so i guess its more accurate to say top shelf

    Looks super unique! Would love to try and grow a frag if you feel brave enough to frag more

    Best way to setup a new tank in the same area?

    Good point...I guess id glue in the plumbing and then leak test outside...Essentially doing a dry run of how the tank would be setup, so I can minimize the setup time in its final location

    Best way to setup a new tank in the same area?

    I am considering a slight upgrade to my nuvo40 and getting a 50G cube with a sump...what would be the best way to execute this tank move if the tank is going in the same corner? I assume I can dry fit and leak test the plumbing outside/ in the garage, but when it comes time to actually move...

    ID - AEFW?

    I've run into AEFW a few times before and haven't seen anything RTN because of it...usually will a trail of circular bit marks and that's usually the giveaway. I've blased acros before to see them float in containers..and you won't be able to mistaken the adult AEFWs...the smaller ones are way...

    Carbon absorbs Lanthanum?

    Never thought about that...I definitely have the room to do so. My original question was whether or not carbon would strip out the excess lanthanum in the water..The reason I ask is I did an ICP after I did my first dose of phosRx and I had a small amount of it show up in the test. Wasn't...
