    Scarbird's Dream 250

    Tank Update. Ran out of time for the last year plus due to unforeseen circumstances. All but one coral have completely perished due to lack of water changes. The fish, thankfully, are thriving. In the next several months I will embark on a journey to revive the tank. Feel free to join me and...

    I think the color is not coming in as clear from the photo, as well as the lighting. I wanted to share my qt method and encourage feedback. The tank is 20 gal plexiglass with an overflow (to drain) at around 11 inches. This provides about 13.5 gallons. There in one piece of live rock with algae...

    Yes, a very small purple tang. The lighting is not aquarium grade on the QT.

    New Baby today. I gave a friend some tires and rims which he sold on Craigslist and deposited the money to my account. He asked only that I use the funds to buy the biggest baddest fish and name it after him. And, oh yea, it had to be beautiful too. Well....meet Big AL. I have been waiting a...

    Scarbird's Dream 250

    I recently broke down my 72 gallon bowfront due to persitent algaae issues. My time has been very challenged of late, but my hobby has persisted. It is important for me to make additions that help to reduce my time weekly. I added a 4 channel dosing pump which doses Alk, CA, MG and Kalk. Also...

    Hello Reefers, It has been awhile but I started a business in Aug 2014 with two friends and it's been very busy since. Barely time to work on the reef.

    Nice video Jim. Beautiful tank! Thanks for the Diatom filter videos. I purchased one and my tank is much better for it's use.

    Excellent video Kris, What a beautiful reef you have. Very sad for what was lost, but imagine how many will never have seen such a thing at all, let alone in their homes. Congratulations! John

    Will do. I will hit you up for some pellets next week. On my way to UCSD to drop my son off.

    Thanks Jim, I have tried pellets, but they seem to eat frozen mysis mostly. I will continue to ween them onto pellets.

    Gimmito's 450 gal L-shaped tank

    I ordered both anti parasitic and anti fungus caviar. These were in the LFS for some time (over a month) and looked great. I am beginning to wonder if the QT is not too confining or conditions not as good as they would be in a larger system. Interestingly, they all look and act happy...

    Gimmito's 450 gal L-shaped tank

    I ordered the stuff, still a couple days out I believe. The Male has gotten a large round bruise looking thing, and I just noticed the others all have the beginnings of the same thing, in similar places. See video on my thread. Fortunately they are still in QT. Need help identifying the nature...

    Soooo my anthias in QT have some marks on a couple of them, nasty blemishes actually. I think they were fine until I did a water change yesterday. I have never seen these type of blemishes, any help appreciated. I purchased some caviar on a recommendation for Jim, but haven't received it yet...

    That is very lucky, this guy is eating live brine currently, but I will try some frozen soon. The Two Mandarins in my main display had eaten frozen mysis almost immediately. Haven't tried the pellets yet.

    Hey John, Did I mention that I added carriage bolts to my rack after your suggestion? I hadn't really thought of the weight problem. Much appreciated, Always open to suggestions.
