    Neon Green Leather

    This is the leather coral that was fragged a couple of years ago at the BAR BAP event. Every year or so I replace the large colony with one of the smaller daughters before it gets too large. I have three and possibly more chunks. One is about softball sized and the other is lemon sized. You'll...

    The fine print

    For years I have been using Scotch-Brite sponges for miscellaneous cleaning of tank equipment. Today I read the fine print on the back. It appears they have added a specific warning for aquarium use to the fine print instructions on the back: I will probably continue to use the sponges...

    Snowflake eel - free to good home

    A few weeks ago I adopted a snowflake moray from another reefer who was taking down their tank. (You may have seen my other thread) Unfortunately the eel has stressed the other fish so much that I have lost a few fish and many of the remaining fish are suffering. It seems unlikely that a...

    Snowflake Eel Suitability

    Recently I adopted a snowflake moray eel from @FeliciaLynn and all seemed well. Unfortunately in the weeks since original introduction I have been losing fish. Initially my eldest clownfish who was already ancient but more recently a hogfish and a tomini tank. From what I have read before...

    Tank Moving Carry Straps/Suction Cup Handles?

    I've helped with two previous tank moves within the club where forearm carry straps and suction cup handles were used. My recently acquired 92gallon quarter round is a harder to move than most due the shape. Were these items club owned and/or are they still available? Ideally I would borrow them...

    Purple Haze Montipora

    Originally from @yardartist this a smooth surfaced, dark purple "Purple Haze" Montipora Capricornus. It encrusts and plates in a gentle downward slope. I have grown it under T5, LED and MH and it is about the same under all of these. It even grew under refugium lighting in my sump. The colour is...

    Idaho Grape Monti

    Originally from @yardartist this a smooth surfaced, dark purple "Idaho Grape" Montipora Capricornus. It plates in a gentle downward slope. I have grown it under T5, LED and MH and it is about the same under all of these. It even grew under refugium lighting in my sump. The colour is more pinkish...

    Stand Ideas for Glass Corner 92?

    I've wanted to upgrade my corner 54 gallon to a 92 gallon tank almost since I first started my reef tank. There's a 92 gallon with overflow available on craigslist for a reasonable price, but it doesn't come with a stand. Building a stand is probably beyond my abilities and certainly beyond my...

    Plating Teal Hydnophora

    I have several frags of a plating Hydnophora available. They are trims off of a larger mother colony. This is a hyper aggressive coral but thankfully it does not have sweeper tentacles. So far it has won every single battle it has been in and does not "co-exist" with others. On the plus side...

    Pipe Organ

    I have a chunk of pipe organ coral I need to break up. It has outgrown it's allotted space. Depending on how it cleaves I should have 1-2 baseball sized chunks and possibly some smaller. Tank has a resident population of red planarians (which I have given up trying to kill). Dipping is highly...

    North East Bay Tank Tour (no date yet)

    Hello all; I had previously agreed to help host an east bay tank tour in 2014. Never happened. I am very committed to hosting an east bay tank tour in 2015 especially after Rich's suggestion at the December meeting that he might be willing to have his tanks be one stop on the tour. I would like...

    DBTC-Hollywood Stunner

    Have you wanted to try chalices but unsure whether your tank upkeep practices will support growing these more challenging corals? Try out Hollywood Stunner -- the "learner" chalice. Durable, fast growing, colorful. They can be a bit unfriendly to other corals so you will need to ensure they...
