Hey, BAR, I know it has been a while. Life has been pretty busy and I haven't been on the forum as much as I used to. Still in the area though! Which brings me to my next point. Travis AFB is having an airshow this weekend. It is a free airshow and hosted at the base. The Blue Angels will be...

I was looking at my fish this morning and noticed a white spot on the side of my foxface. I never saw this before and snapped a picture out of curiosity. This was around 1230 today. Now that it’s 4, I saw this spot had turned black and I’m even more concerned than I was before. Behavior isn’t...

I know the club has a few veterans here and I’m sure there’s plenty of members as well that may not have served, but probably had family and/or friends that did so. So thank you to everyone and enjoy your day.

Here's a slightly different question for everyone: What do you do with your old saltwater after a water change? I assume everyone just dumps it in some fashion. I ask because I'm curious if there is anything useful (and less wasteful) that can be done, but I doubt it. My questioning comes from...

Hey folks, I’ve got another question from the far reaches of my dad's tank. He had two strange and sudden things happen in his well-established 75 gallon. I found out after the fact or when things were already too far in motion but we’ve asked around and didn’t get a lot of great answers, so I...

Hey everyone! I was looking forward to checking out CFM this year and maybe volunteering, but of course work has different plans. That weekend, May 14 & 15, the base is having an airshow/open house. Attendance is free and open to the public, so it is a cool chance for anyone interested in...

AFS won’t run and I have to leave in a couple hours for a mission, hoping to be back Sunday. I don’t have a spare unit and my only LFS in time to make it doesn’t have one in stock. Ask: any suggestions for a fast alternative that can get me through at least 3 or 4 days? I have pellet/flake food...

I bought a 20 pound bag of above mentioned sand when starting my office tank and only used half of it, so I'd like to provide the remainder to whoever is interested.

I’ve got one of the BRS coupons that I won’t use so I’m putting it out here for someone who will. Shoot me a PM and I’ll give it to you. Expired Aug 31 UPDATE: Code passed on

Yup. I did it. Another tank. Because it was on sale. And I spend enough time at work, why shouldn’t I have an office tank? Taking bets on how long it lasts before someone has a hissy fit and I have to decommission it.

I have two one $10 coupons good for BRS. Only one can be used per order. I know someone could use it, who wants one? Update: 1 gone, one remains Update 2: Both coupons gone. Thanks for playing. Be good to each other.

I'm visiting my parents and my dad has this coral all over his tank because it grows so tall and easily. He has a very mature and successful system but doesn't know most of what his corals are actually called, he just gets what he likes and it works for him. These pictures are all of the same...

Back on April 25 I got a coral banded shrimp from Neptune in attempt to curb the amount of bristleworms I have. I know the worms are generally good (although I am pretty sure I recently ID'd a fireworm that was unseen before) but I just wanted less of them so I figured it would be an excuse to...

I was gone for 2 1/2 weeks on a work trip. During that time, I had two different people take care of the tank for me doing the easy stuff like feed and clean the glass. After 1 1/2 weeks, I heard back that the person didn't see my newest friend a little firefish. I thought it was peculiar...

I decided to start a refugium a little while back but it was less than a success. I got my hands on a chaeto and threw it in the sump with a Kessil H160 on the grow setting. I managed to grow algae...in the skimmer...while the chaeto turned brown and whittled away to nothing. So here are my...

I walked by my tank a few minutes ago with my flashlight since the house and aquarium lights were off and I noticed a little worm on the bottom. Well, I thought I saw one before so I looked and noticed quite a few of them moving around. I managed to catch one to try and get some PID on it. I...

The inevitable (and undesired) time has come where I’ll be deploying and won’t be around my tank for a while, I’m looking at 3 1/2 months so it’s not too bad as far as deployments go, but not great as far as watching the aquarium goes. I have a couple people from work that will be coming by...

I was sitting on my computer when I heard the aquarium start making a weird sound behind me. Assuming it was a snail near the return nozzle, I didn't think much of it but turned around to see anyways. Glad I did, because this is what I saw: my lone BTA cruising around on the shell of a...

I want to try starting up a refugium in my RSR 350. Does anybody have lights that they like for that size sump? I’m not running anything extra than the space already dedicated. I haven’t gotten as much research done on the specific lights yet as I’d like to, but figure I could get started with...

Well I think it is about time I started a tank journal. I’ll admit I don’t really know what to say in this but what the heck? Disclaimer now: Sorry about poor picture qualities, I use my phone and am still learning how to get good pictures although they have improved. I grew up hearing stories...
