    Improvised airstone pump for emergencies

    I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, but I figured I'd share in case it's helpful. It's really only useful for small to medium sized tanks though. My power went out last night for 13 hours, and I'm a dummy who didn't have any battery powered air pumps (since been rectified). I...

    Neptune Trident test cycle

    Anyone with a Trident willing to pop the front panel off during a test cycle (alk, ca, and mg) and grab a video of the glass cuvette while the tests are running? It's for science ;-)

    Emerald Crab Exoskeleton

    My emerald crab molted today, and by chance I checked the tank just after it happened. Now I've got a pristine emerald crab exoskeleton. Thought you all would get a kick out of it, enjoy!

    The Ark

    I'm starting up a coral spawning experiment tank and I decided to keep a tank journal to help monitor progress. Since I don't have tons of space, I went with an RSR 170 bought from @dandemeyere (thanks again!). The tank has been cycling a few months and is in the post cycle ugly phase right now...

    Free GSP colony

    I recently moved everything to another tank and I don't have space for this GSP colony. I plan to frag off a small piece to keep in my frag tank, but the rest is up for grabs. It's in a bucket atm, so I'm looking to hand it off asap. Pickup in Livermore/Dublin/Pleasanton area.

    Obtaining unrelated coral colonies for spawning experiment

    This one might be a little out there, but here goes. I recently set up a coral spawning tank with a reef-pi which mimics the seasonal solar, lunar and temperature changes of an indo-pacific reef. It is currently going through the ugly phase, and in the meantime I'm planning out which corals to...

    Free Pajama Cardinalfish

    I'm giving away a Pajama Cardinalfish that I pulled from my display tank because it was getting bullied by two other Pajamas. It's been in a quarantine tank for two days now. Full disclosure, it is not eating much and hides inside a PVC tube all the time. I don't think it has any common disease...

    Aquascape opinions/advice

    Hey everyone! I'm starting up an SPS dominant Red Sea Reefer 170 which hopefully will be home to a lot of acropora. I just finished putting together the aquascape (not cemented yet) and thought I'd see if anyone had any suggestions for improvement. This is the first time I've built a custom...

    Free Duncan, Hollywood Stunner Chalice, and Palythoa Frags

    Hey BARs, Just fragged some of my corals for the first time, and I need to get rid of them soon (small 10 gallon tank). If you want to give me a few bucks it would be very welcome, but not required. Local pickup only in Livermore. Anyone interested? Frags: 3 Duncan Frags (1-3 polyps ea) 5...
