Hi all! Dropping in to create a bit of a build thread for something not seen much here but I hope you enjoy taking a peek. I’ll start by saying that I started fish keeping more than 20 yrs ago with freshwater and live plants. sort of the start of the current version of it anyway. Things were...

Homemade chili and playoff football is a good combo. Got anything cookin?

This is probably the weirdest fish keeping story I’ll ever have to relate to anyone even with another 10 or 20 years of keeping reefs or freshwater. Thus it is a must share. I was lucky enough to pick up @Holly94583’s Copperband Butterfly from her this last weekend. Extremely healthy fish from...

This is not a display tank worthy stand but it's great for a garage frag or QT tank. 2x4 construction with marine grade plywood top, leveling feet. and fence stain finish. YES it's very orangey but super water resistant lol. (I'll skip the Trump jokes) One side is also pretty ragged from when I...

Pickup in San Ramon. Stuff in the blue bucket needs bleached and cleaned.

Hi all. I was expecting to see the 112g tank cycled at 0ppm ammonia by today but it's not. An order of AquaBiomics live reef sand arrives tomorrow afternoon. I assume I can add this to the tank with >0.2ppm ammonia with no problem as it will just help the cycle. Am I wrong? Thoughts? Regards, Ant

Anyone feel like sharing some of their favorite books? I've always been a sci-fi/fantasy type and have been having issues finding quality books to read lately. Feel like sharing? Here are a few I love... Tad Williams "Dragonbone Chair" RA Salvatore Anything Drizzt or Forgotten Realms Brandon...

Hi all, I’ve decided to do this as a PIF due to the stand and light rack needing to be sanded and refinished. It’s a bit of a project but the bones are good, as they say. Being a supporting member in good standing is needed to take the tank home. If you’d like to spare me some frags once the...

Lots of mini bristle stars and other critters. Bring a tub and grab it if you want it. Pick up in San Ramon

I'll start with this water bottle ATO. Solidly built and just works. No frills just a little glug glug noise. 1.5L bottle is lasting a few days on this temp frag tank.

Hi all, I have a bit of a problem in the 69g tank with aefw. The 75g seems like maybe I don't. I've only had Acro's in there since the last frag swap. All my frag swap acquisitions were dipped, examined and put into the 75g as I found out the day of the swap. My problem is this.. I'll be...

Hi all! Welcome to the journal for my 4th reef tank. Da_Neefer means The Noob Reefer. I guess I'm not as much of a noob aftere 2 yrs in the hobby but I still catch myself feeling like one sometimes :) I've had a 69g and a 75g setup for awhile now and decided I really wanted to do one tank I can...

So the foxface rabbitfish that saved my 69g tank from Caulerpa covering the rockwork has outgrown his home. He's now 6-7" long :eek: He has a new home waiting for him here in San Ramon in a 200g setup some of us helped with recently for @Holly94583. I'm posting this because she sent me a link...

I was sent the wrong fish and they are free to whomever can pick them up today. If you cannot do this please do not say you will. They were packaged yesterday afternoon and arrived at 10am this morning. They are in the bags from LiveAquaria and look healthy and not very stressed. I will try to...

The newsletter that came today says they've got one or more maybe in stock. I seem to remember someone looking for one...

Normal burial customs a bit blase for you? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/21/reef-ball-burials-the-new-trend-for-becoming-coral-when-you-die

@mahina_corals launched his new light bars today. I'm not affiliated or paid. I just think they are a great new option designed from the ground up by a hobbyist. I love the work he's put in on the spectrum, design, and affordability. https://www.quantareef.com/
