This was a targeted ad on Instagram :eek:

For anyone that has ever purchased fish and other livestock online and had it shipped, you may have seen instructions to not drip acclimate. I never really understood why since drip acclimation was standard protocol and seemed logical. Turns out drip acclimation is only applicable when the fish...

Show off your coral graveyard! :p It's not all sunshine and rainbows in this hobby. If you don't have failed attempts, are u even trying? Pic taken because my wife was complaining about this in the yard. I'll eventually bleach then recycle them as calcium reactor media.

While visiting the Frost Aquarium in Miami with family, my son got excited about seeing seahorses and wife asked if I could put them in my tank (obviously not). I took that as a green light to set up a new tank :p This will be a mangrove and macroalgae specific tank with seahorses and...

I'm late to the 3D printing game but just got one and holy moly this thing is awesome once dialed in. I've purchased at least $100 in 3D parts but now I can print at home. What are your favorite aquarium items that you've printed? So far I've printed this Hanna cuvette drying rack and a DI...

Ryan / @borker has generously decided to give away a lot of equipment to members who can you them. I've sorted through the equipment and posting here what's usable, though not tested. If you want something of high(er) value I'd encourage donating whatever you can to Ryan or soft/lps corals. I'm...

Finally catching a breath to start this journal. The past two months have been crazy hectic as I tried to move houses, do renovations (self done), juggle work, all while setting up a new tank and taking down the old one. Truth be told, I wasn't planning on upgrading my 4ft peninsula until later...

So, I'm thinking about joining the 200+ gallon club :D. I'm getting in line to borrow suction cups, will build/rent a couple dollies, van rental, straps, etc. Only issue right now is that the tank is in Elk Grove. Checking to see if there's anyone in the area that can possibly help? It would be...

I just added RR Prometheus Acropora to DBTC. Did some pruning and have 4 frags available. A nice shade of purple but can develop green tips. Pickup in Dublin or if attend any of the meetups. There are 4 frag(s) available right now. This thread was automatically created by BARcode

Some may remember my noob ass trying to frag my bernardopora colony at the workshop earlier this year and slicing a bald spot off the top. My clownfish pair have taken a liking to it! After some awkward camera angles and timing, I finally got some macro shots of their egg patch that I thought...

I'm going to need to build a canopy soon :eek: this and tidy up all wires, lock cabinets, secure any external hoses. What ways have kids messed with your tank and what child proofing methods have worked for you?

GONE FREE green capnella coral. At maximum it's about 9" tall by 5" wide. Pickup in Dublin

I've heard of ordering a "pizza" with certain "toppings" as code for buying drugs. Is "live rock" now a thing too? :p Interesting picture in the listing. I wonder if it's a ;);) kinda thing. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/for/d/south-san-francisco-the-collection-of/7511054181.html

I just added Jason Fox to DBTC. Rules: At least two frags from this should be offered through DBTC before you do whatever else you want with your extra frags. People who have offered frags on this thread get first dibs on next frags (should something happen to theirs). IMPORTANT - Must have a...

I've generally had great success with zoas with some of my rock filled with hundreds of them. I got some GMK zoas from @H2OPlayar dbtc. For two months they've been doing great. 2 polyps started splitting into 8, then suddenly they're closed up and shrinking. This has been going on for the past...

I know r2r isn't favored here. Frankly I'm pretty annoyed by the content, crowd, and over hyped ad bombardment. I sure miss the RC glory days and just discovering Humblefish as my go-to non local forum now. But they promoted a photo contest for free shit in which I submitted and in the running...

I have two torch corals that are getting a bit unruly and have grown to the point where they're stinging a lot of surrounding corals. The purple has approximately 7 heads and the gold 15+. The part I'm hesitant about with cutting is that all the heads are connected by flesh even when the head...

Candy crush jawbreaker mushrooms available. The mom I've had for about two years and has only developed a couple small green markings. Not sure if the color genetics are weak or I'm not giving it the optimal lighting/conditions to develop colors, but I'm interested to see if anyone can tease...

Bush was long overdue for a trimming ;) got some massive pieces for pickup in Dublin. 1-1/4" frag disc for scale. This is the long all green tentacle type.

Anybody ever have or seen this before? About last week a couple of my sps either developed blisters or became puffy. They have subsided a bit but still looking a bit funky. Other research has said possibly from an alk/calcium imbalance but I haven't changed dosing amount. 8.4dkh and 420ppm calcium
