    I think I might have whacked my clown

    NO this is not a euphamism. I was turkey basting my rocks (not a euphamism either) and I might have blasted my clown inadvertantly. He is laying on the bottom in the back of the tank, breathing heavily. Before he stopped swimming he was swimming kinda weird and did a barrel roll and kind of a...

    150 mile LFS adventure

    Well instead of riding up to NJ and ILC, I decided to make a tour of some of the LFS in Maryland. I visited four stores and I will briefly discuss my observations of each. All of these stores are both fresh and salty, but for obvious reasons I will concentrate on the salty side. First, I...

    Anthias in Maryland

    1 male and 2 female Anthias for trade. I aquired these fish when I bought an existing tank. I am looking to vary the species in my tank, but do not want to increase the bio-load. Fish are healthy, fed twice a day, great color. The male has a slightly deformed jaw, but does not affect feeding...

    Question

    I remember seeing that someone had recently had a tank built with a custom coast to coast overflow. I think it was an AGA tank with a black C to C. I can not find it now. Anyone remember who it was, and what thread it was on.

    Changing Substrate

    I want to remove my crushed coral substrate and replace it with sand. What would you say is the best way to make the change? I was thinking of doing small sections at a time and allowing the old substrate to help seed the new, any thoughts on this?

    Crab Hitchhiker ID

    I was looking at my Emerald crab this morning and he had a bunch of these little critters running all over his body. They were red to brown in color, and moved very fast, like highway fast. They are to small to photo so no pic. I would equate them to about the size of chiggers I put a...

    Foods and Feeding

    As a noob to the reef world, I am unfamiliar with the number of foods available for the wide variety of species we keep in our tanks. So I though it would be cool, for informational purposes, to list the following: Types/Name of foods you feed. Who you feed it to. How you present it. For...

    Newbie Frag Question

    You have seen my frags, most are on those round discs, is it possible to remove them from these discs to attach them directly to the rock, and if so how would I go about it, without killing the poor guys. Or should I just leave them on there and let them do their thing.

    Just because

    Just because I know you all like pictures, I though I would post this shot of my sun polyps. :thumbup: Wit, it told me to move it down in the tank and slow the flow just a little, so I did and it seems to like it much better. I am the Coral Whisperer. :whstlr: sun polyps.jpg: Your file...

    Critter ID

    I was watching my tank with the moon lights on, and I saw a bunch of these critters darting in and out of rock holes and in the hair algea. There were a bunch of them, different sizes, some appeared a little more opaque than this one, almost clear.

    Help pick my next frag

    I have a spot in my tank just crying out for a frag for company. It is in the top of the tank and is in a good flow area. It needs to be something that will grow horizontal, be colorful and different from what I have. I prefer a lower maintenance piece that is relatively hardy. I have now...
