This is exciting. I feel like this is the pinnacle challenge in our hobby and I look forward to when we have enough understanding and techniques to do this at a hobby level...

I inherited this guy after a tank breakdown. He's a few years old and about 5" long He didn't eat any corals in his old tank but started eating acans, blasto, cyphastrea, lepastrea, montipora and clove polyps. He also has a head deformation. Free to the first person to pick him up in Sonora...

I just noticed this on one of my daughter's clownfish. I had a hard time getting a picture. A couple of raised bumps on her right side next to her fin and pale flesh surrounding. No other visible issues. She seems grumpier than usual.

I apologize in advance for the clickbait title. We primarily offer aviation and mapping services for wildfire suppression efforts (including lightning recon flights). The guys in my office have started contributing to the tank. Some bought test kits that i was running low on, some chipped in...

I heard about this a couple months ago from another reefer. I found a video from Tidal Gardens showing the technique and what rock structures they built with it. I've used epoxy before, I didn't like it. I've used hydraulic cement before, I didn't like how long it took to cure and it took a...

After a 2 year absence, I finally bit the bullet and found a tank. Just picked up a used biocube 32. A splash compared to what I want but after having 3 of these in the last 8 years, I know what works best and I'm looking forward to it. Vinegar bath tonight and a deep clean tomorrow. I have...

Got the hang of my new Form 2 printer. 3d printed my guardian from Destiny 2 Reef Geek 3D Printing

Clearwater has a nice used one with carbon filter and built in shut off for $10. Go get it!

Let's hear the hobbies you used to be into but have fallen off the radar.

I've designed and 3d printed molds for people who make their own frag plugs and I'm thinking about making some myself. I've designed a few new molds this morning and I'll probably be ordering an emarco 400 kit this week. I have worked in decorative concrete for years and have used emarco a few...

Let's see the loot!

I picked up an A360we that wasn't working. Not much info on why it stopped. Power supply shows 19v but drops to less than 1v shortly after. Took a risk and plugged the light into one of my power supplies and the fan kicked on for a second but no light output. Fan shut off after a little more...

I started tinkering with the Alexa skill app that integrates with your apex fusion account. It's useful for my wife to use since she doesn't use the control tablet at all. What I'd love to see is an option for Apex to send an alert to all the echo devices in my house when an alarm is triggered.

I am a huge fan of psammacora, hydnophora and acropora spathulata.

I've been a lurker for a long time and I've met a few of you guys by accident and by shuttling frags when I lived in Sacramento and worked in the bay area. I've been in the hobby for 5 years or so. Had several successful tanks, several adventures with less common critter (sea horses, mantis...

I got an egg from a local fish store. Spent a week doing research, calling breeders and contacted the Monterey Bay Aquarium about their new cephalpod exhibit ("tentacles ") and found a lot of info that many people repeated. Raising these guys seems easier than breeding clowns. My egg hatched...

I'm hatching cuttlefish and I need to get my hands on about 50 live mysid. Are there any local resources for these in the bay area? And before someone says it, brine shrimp in any form is not enough nutrition to raise cuttlefish with any success. Thanks in advance. I'm already in touch...

Well, the 75 has been running strong since may and my wife had a nice little collection of stuff in her tank. Found a deal we couldn't pass up so we moved most of her livestock into my tank and sold her setup. The 75 is Jam packed full of critters and coral with live rock overflowing out of the...

Well, after multiple suggestions to create a tank journal I'm heeding the advice and spending a few minutes to jot down my experiences so far. To start, I've always wanted aquariums since I was a child but my parents said no. Once I was out on my own (16) I was way to busy getting through...
