I've lost interest in the hobby. I think I might just like the setting up of reef systems more than the maintaining of them.... 300 gallon live coral reef tank FYI, The tank at the Anu Fitness Club I currently maintain will probably also be sold off as the owner said that if I'm not taking care...

I have some assorted caulerpa that's getting pretty overgrown if anyone local wants any- I'm in 19030.

Many people think this is a super hard thing to do but believe it or not, every reef ready tank had to be drilled by someone at some point. It's actually quite simple. I'm going to walk you through it real quick. I think it should be done with two people, and you'll see why shortly. First you...

I feel a bit foolish as I've always thought and told folks that zero T.D.S. means zero T.D.S., but I've recently come to learn that this is not the case. Did you know that chloramines are rapidly being chosen over chlorine to treat tap water, and that this will not show up on your T.D.S. meter...

My friend has a few things he's wanting to sell. First he has a 40 gallon tank with black stand (not drilled), secondly a 60 gallon reef ready tank and black stand with home made sump, and a 120 gallon just the black stand- no tank on it. Oh...he's got a wet/dry too. All in good shape, besides...

Ok, so here we have a DSA (Deep Sea Aquatics) 105 gallon rimless, which has the dimensions of 48 x 24 x 21tall. Pretty **** close to perfect for a medium sized reef tank IMO. I couldn't buy the reef ready version because that has a standard overflow with drains and returns coming in and out of...

A friend is having a problem. It has stumped me. He has his system hard plumbed. No leaks, and it's drive is a Blue Line 70 external pump. Just for "poops" and giggles, it's a 120 in-wall display and a 30 breeder frag tank with a 20 long refugium and a 100 gallon stock tank used as a sump...

I have a few giant pieces of Green Sinularia Leather that I need to move. It's a very healthy, non-invasive coral with a nice bright green color. Basically, it sort of resembles a Kenya Tree except it has nice color and doesn't spread all over the tank. Quite resilient and a fast grower. I Can...

I started a tank a few years ago for a friend that owned a gym and maintained it for about 2 years, until I moved further away. Just recently he contacted me and complained about the guy who was taking care of it now, and after some discussion I agreed to take care of it again. The tank is a...

I make my own food, as I've mentioned in various threads, and just made a small batch last night, so I thought I would document it to show folks how easy it is. Feel free to add your own recipes and ideas. I usually stick to the same recipe, but sometimes I will slightly change it depending on...

Not totally aquaria related, but there's some aquaria info. Check it out! The Scale of the Universe 2

I have some long polyp toadstool frags (Fairly large heads about 3" across), Assorted birdsnests that can be cut as small or large as you want, Plenty of assorted encrusting monits, like pokerstar, rainbow, sunset... branching digitata and spongodes, Green sinularia leather, Candy canes, and...

I have two fixtures I would like to part with. First is a 48" 2 x 150 watt halide fixture with hanging kit. Age of lamps unknown. $100.00 Second is this Hamilton 150 watt pendant with ballast. Age of lamp unknown. $30.00 I will not ship, because these things are heavy. Thanks for looking.

I have these to sell, and I can ship at your expense, but I prefer local pickup (19030). Up first I have a German made Aqualine Buschke 2 x 150 watt metal halide fixture (for 48" tanks). The model is this one- Aqua Medic aquastarlight future 2x 150 W - Mrutzek Meeresaquaristik GmbH Converted to...

That's right. I thought I could keep 2 yellows in my 300, but the one relentlessly chases the other. This tang doesn't chase any other fish besides the other yellow, so I would not say he's aggressive. He's about 2.5" at this time and perfectly healthy. Local pickup of course (19030) Happy...

Small polyps do capture zooplankton

I have two 4', eight lamp T5HO fixtures and One 4" four lamp Ho fixture for sale. They are all individually reflected and most come with newer high end lamps. One of the 8 lamp fixtures is a hydroponics fixture, which means it's wider than the aquarium ones. This will only work over a 120...

Local pickup only please. My zip is 19030 (Eastern Pa). I would like to sell this Octo NWB 200 skimmer. It works perfectly. Just needs a vinegar bath, or not. $175.00 I would also consider some coral trades. I like LPS and SPS. here's a link to what a new one costs- Reef Octopus NWB 200 Needle...

Local pickup only in this weather, but I have a large amount of chaeto that i'd like to sell. about a gallon sized ziplock for 10 bucks.

but i had a mishap with my email box and must have bounced a few emails back. now i don't get any notice of responses or pms. anyone have an idea how to correct this? thanks.

i've started on my next system. it's going to be a very slow process since i'm renovating the house i'm living in while i'm constructing a reef system and i don't really have money for both. so here we go: I was told by a friend that a brand new 7' x 24" x 31" tank was for sale on craigslist...

this is a great place to meet local reefers and have access to a large amount of frags. plus, the store is pretty awesome also.

we were discussing silica sand as opposed to aragonite based sand in our aquariums in someone's thread. I can't remember which, but i felt i should post this article for all. Feature Article: Silica In Reef Aquariums — Advanced Aquarist's Online Magazine

every time we buy livestock without researching it and it dies, or buy livestock, PERIOD for that matter, we should really internalize how we are just part of the big picture..... - World news - msnbc.com some day the only reefs might be man-made ones in public exhibits. :(
