Poor guy got beat up by a neighboring favia. I wasn't sure if it was going to pull through, but it seems to have stabilized and started growing again. I'm not patient enough to let it get going again in my tiny tank. Would love to trade for some frogspawn. Nice color. Splatter type. In downtown...

Is it possible to have too much flow for a Rainford Goby? I picked one up last week from High Tide Aquatics but it doesn't seem able to handle the flow in my tank. It comes right out when the powerhead is off, but really gets pushed around when it's on. Eventually, it settles in a still area...

Something attacked my leptoseris overnight. I think it's some sort of sponge or other parasite that lives on the montiora spongedes and comes out at night. My understanding is that monti's won't fight unless they're actually touching. Any ideas what it is or what damaged the lepto? I'm in a...

What red tabling acropora do you like? If there can only be one, what would it be? I'm close to pulling the trigger on a buy from battlecorals. Options include: red planet or bc mutha ship. Also strongly considering a PC rainbow. Bonus points for hardy. That has me leaning towards pc rainbow or...

Does anyone use tap water in SF or Oakland for their aquarium? I'm in Oakland. My TDS meter says it's about 30 ppm. Is that good enough to make salt water and top off? The modern trend seems to prioritize stability above all else. If the tap's always the same, maybe it could work. You'd have to...

Is anyone interested in a Hanna calcium checker? Just the egg and the syringes. There is lots of reagent B packets, but I didn’t close the reagent A tight enough and now its empty. I'm in downtown Oakland.

I know that a lot of people in the club keep these bubblegum digis. I’ve had mine for a little over a year. Growth is acceptable, but I’ve only had a couple brief periods where the tips were green. My system seems pretty stable so it seems like a good time for some experimentation. I wanted to...

Free plating orange monti cap. I have a really small tank and I no longer love the spot it's in. It also got a little beat up by a neighboring chalice. ~3"x2" Warning: I think some nudibranchs may have munched on it, although I'm admittedly not qualified to make that determination. I left for...

RRC Pink Cadillac acropora frag. Got it from Cultivated Reef. Wanted to see how it did in my little tank. It did fine, so now I want to free up that spot for something different. In downtown Oakland.

CaribSea FragZone Coral Mounts. The color didn't work for my tank. It was a little too purple. The company's photos had them a little more red. Otherwise, it seemed like nice dry rock rubble. Box is brand new. In downtown Oakland...

May 31, 2023 I’m back in the hobby after a 17-year hiatus. I am working with several requirements: (1) It has to be a small, tidy nano that fits in an old built-in bookshelf. (2) I hate water changes, and I’m willing to throw money at anything that will reduce them or make them less painful. My...
