    Free frags in San Francisco

    Ricks' Oceanic 14G Biocube - my first salt water tank

    Hi everyone, it has been a short eternity since I have updated here but in truth there has been little to write about. My tank is basically full and the only notable changes are the constant pruning of mushrooms, xenia and zoas. All that said I have prepared a goofy little VIDEO...

    Crabs Are Evil Society

    Going out on a limb here - I had to add an emerald crab to my little nano recently to combat a bryobsis/hair algae problem I developed while away in Thailand.....the little guy has devoured all of my problem algae in the course of 2 weeks. No other issues so far.....perhaps not ALL crabs are...

    Tori's First Marine Expedition!! nano style!

    whats up tori ! regarding th SPS, your best bet is probably to get it up as high to the light in your tank as possible. I've heard about people getting birdsnest to survive under PC lighting but I think it's probably not likely, not to rain on your parade. If you aren't up to it, maybe...
