    Koi scopas tangs

    I dunno if anyone's interested but I spotted a couple nice looking koi scopas at under the sea in rohnert park. The dark blue and brown coloration. Never seen one in person. They had a big achilles too. Too spendy for me but were neat.

    What are some fast growing acropora?

    Looking to draw on the experience here to see which acros people have kept with a lot of success in terms of growing out into colonies. My setup is ~300 par where I'd like to place these up top with plenty of flow. I have big bare spots I'd like to set, leave them alone, and try to grow them...

    DBTC: Green Sinularia Leather

    Hearty, super grower, doesn't sting, easy to prune. Loves high light and flow, 300 par right in front of a powerhead? no problem. Currently the colony is football sized. I grew this from a 1/2" frag. I have 5 large frags available.

    Pairing clowns

    I have a standard orange ocellaris in my frag tank who I never moved over to my new 110g display. He's ~2" but pretty tough, I've had him a few years. In my display I have a slightly smaller and wimpier black domino clown that's been in there a month or so to get established. All fish are...

    Mounting multiple sps frags

    Planning out my coral placement I'd rather have fewer, large colonies than a little bit of everything. Does it make sense to mount multiple frags of the same thing near eachother to try to entice them to grow together into a big colony? Specifically I have 2 big spongodes frags that I'm...

    Check valves on return

    I'm going to plumb check valves into my return, not because I need them to prevent a flood but just to keep the level constant when I shut off the return to feed and less disturbance when I turn them back on. Are the wye ones from brs better than the flapper/swing ones? Both seem like you can...

    Encrusting monti colony

    I have a rock with a 5" red w blue polyp encrusting monti colony on it if someone wants it. I have a colony on another rock and don't need 2. No nasty pests I have had some smaller vermetids, small bristleworms, and bubble algae but not epedemic. No aptasia in this system ever (not one...

    Maybe a stupid question - sump design

    What is this hole for? (other than letting pods get sucked into your skimmer) Why woudn't you just overflow from chamber 1 into chamber 2?

    Hi All!

    New member here. I've had reef tanks on and off for 15 years or so. I used to live in Alameda but when a lot of the local shops shut down (Alameda Aquatics, Octopus' Garden, Lucky Goldfish) it became a hassle. Living in an apartment, no way to mix water. I shut down with the shops. Moved out to...
