I figured since there's been more than one question recently about gluing frags, and since I had the camera and tripod handy last night while making some frags to trade, here's a brief series of snapshots. Work area, tools, glue, and rubble prepared and ready. Drying a piece of rubble...

This coral came with the tank and I haven't been able to find one at my LFS to ID it yet. Does anyone here have one or know what it is? Any help is appreciated. Btw, my Maroon loves it... and hopefully isn't loving it to death... 8O

I've tried being frugal and limestone-modded a skilter I had to try and use it on my 125gal reef tank with no success, so now I'm looking into buying a real skimmer. The addition on the house is running over budget so the wife will kill me if I spend too much on "playthings" right now...

This little fella came up out of my sand the other day. I got a little worried because he completely enveloped the opening of another snail, and I thought he was eating it. Later on he moved off and the other snail was still in his shell so I'm hoping he's not a snailkiller. Anyway, here's some...

I've got a little dwarf lion that I've been feeding ghost shrimp to and have been wondering about the nutritional value of his diet. Currently I'll let the shrimp gorge themselves on marine flake immediately before I handfeed them to the lion to try and pass on some proper nutrition. Yesterday...

Not sure if this is a "sick fish" problem or if this is some other normal behavior. I noticed this morning that the water seems a touch hazy and I can see that my feather duster is "breathing" out small translucent cloudy puffs at regular intervals like breaths on a cold morning. He's been...

I've read several recommendations for wpg lighting guidlines for a reef tank. I just purchased some 50/50 compact fluorescent bulbs and I noticed on the packaging it states that a 20w bulb outputs 100w of light. When figuring wpg do I use the 20w of power it draws or the 100w of light it...

Well after years of doing FW tanks I finally decided to take the SW plunge with an extra 10g tank I had lying around. (*Disclaimer* To anyone reading this that is thinking of starting a SW tank I would not recommend "rushing" this as I did unless you already have experience with aquariums and...
