I used to run carbon/gfo on my tank long time ago but not since I moved a year ago. So I added it back last weekend and on a 2nd day water became cloudy, corals are stressed and my peppermint shrimp died. I prewashed carbon/gfo and let it sit in a bucket of RO water for several hours with...

My friend got interested in digital photography (and SLRs) so I lend him my old D50. It also got me interested again and we decided to go to each Silicon Valley downtown once a week and take photos (drink coffee) too. Here's what i've got so far: Full set...

I was chatting with Vincerama2 at the swap about finding people for trades/dbtc. It would be nice to have DBTC table at the swap/meeting. Similar to "newbie" table. As long as frags are properly marked (from/to) it not hard to distribute those.

2 months after moving my tank I have more and more of it. What is the latest on control of green bubble algae? I never had it multiply so fast.

First sorry for falling out of the reefing crowd for a while... did a big remodeling project and moved. I accidentally broke my sump (came with 50g Cadlights Artisan). It was wet and slipped through my fingers and cracked. Anyway I need a new sump that will fit into the stand: 20in max...

I looked at my tank with a flashlight yesterday and after seeing normal large and smaller pods found tiny ones... More like bugs than normal pods, size 1/2 mm to 1 mm, look like mini-armadillos in shape and have 2 very small antennas in the front. Very small size but looked like that have...

I'll have a bunch of Strombus Snails at the BAR Swap. They reproduce in tanks and help reduce film algae, cyano, etc Regular dbtc rules apply. p.s. I know they were offered as DBTC before, but I don't know if I should start a new one or add it as a frag to the existing ones.

Now that I have my new tank going, I'm looking for some generation 2+ DBTC frags. Preferably in San Jose/Sunnyvale area.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/for/1736015882.html At that price I can just use one for a month and throw away. My last attempt at cleaning didn't work. An no, I won't put a used sock into the washer/drier ;-) We could do a small group buy or if anyone driving from Santa Cruz to Bay...

I have about 5-6 different zoa colonies and some of them have developed a condition I have not seen in zoa before. I recently fragged them and attached to rock rubble (2 weeks ago) and today I noticed that most of zoa are loose. I thought I didn't not glue them well enough but no. It looks...

Any South bay stores carry new Salinity salt? And how much for it? I know AS has it for $89 a bucket.

Are there any iPhone apps for reefkeeping? I'd like to have simple app to track water parameters, dosing, reminders, maybe even taking photos and maintaining a "journal" style blog.

So I had this crazy idea about creating a Q&A site for reef community. Something along the lines of StackOverflow.com (if you are into coding and such - you know how great that site is) The idea is that forums are great for chit-chatting, but if there's a question in the 1st post - it's...
