Looks absolutely phenomenal dary! Keep us posted on the changes. It's becoming a real show stopper.

Welcome home dary. Glad you had a wonderful time.

Our newest additions that came this morning. They are about 24 hours old now.

Dary... Wish i was there with ya. Have a great time!

Lol. Looks a lot like the craftsmanship I found in the house I bought 13 years ago, although the shoddy wiring here was bare knob and tube.. No tape and no wire nuts. My house is 100 years old. Guess it never gets better. good luck with everything... I will be following along.

What a lovely place to vacation! Thanks for sharing your photos... They made me smile.

Lol. That is the one thing I am NOT looking forward to. I can't stand the fish tank messes in the house. Saltwater all over my wood floors. Makes me want to cry already.

Welcome... IMO, for fish only, instant ocean works fine. You don't really need to worry about the levels of calcium, strontium, etc. That's why most people with extensive reefs use more expensive salts. Algae's grow because of lighting and excess nutrient issues so unless you are buying a salt...

I personally agree. These animals live indefinitely in the wild. Keeping an anemone alive for a few months doesn't really testify to your ability to keep an anemone... Anemones can live in home aquariums but they require stability. Things like excellent water parameters and excellent lighting...

No it's not enough to look for bubbles.

No. 15 character minimum.

Good luck guys. I'm crossing my fingers and praying for you from Ohio.

For the tang.. Strips of nori and dried seaweeds are best. I personally think the veggie clips that suction cup to the side of your tank are the easiest. These fish are herbivores that are not going to be at optimal health unless they have veggie based diets. Our tang gets a small sheet almost...

Dary, so glad to hear that everyone is okay. Those moments are scary.

Yep.. My little guy is a half moon that I found at Petsmart of all places. I have never seen one this color before. I think he's awesome.

My little guy Truman.

Rico... What do you think of the damsel? Ours is pretty but is a bit of a dud when it comes to "personality". I've seen a lot of great fish, including the others I own and our damsel is just kinda ... Blah. I'll never waste our time with another one. How is yours?

Our tank is a 75 gallon with a 30 gallon sump. The tank itself is over 5 years old now but we have only owned it for about 8 months. We actually bought it for the live rock for our 125 gallon tank (really good price) but it came with fish. A percula clown, a firefish, a yellow tang and a...

It may. In all honesty there are a lot of variables that could change the scenario. I've heard stories of viscous damsels who harass fish 5 times their size to death. Mine doesn't display that sort of antagonism and the clown doesn't really seem to mind her all that much. If my clown hosts...

Yellowtails have a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde reputation as they age. Ours doesn't do any damage but she is a bit of a closet bully with our clown. My primary complaint about her is her lack of "personality". All of our other fish display loads of it but the damsel is really quite blah. So much so...

That most likely means that the zooxanthellia is multiplying due to more sufficient light. The LFS probably didn't provide it the lighting it needed for the algae to grow, therefore a bleached (white) anemone. Fortunately for you it needs that symbiotic relationship with the zooxanthellia to be...

Are they submersible pumps with that model? Ours always sits completely submerged in water. It is made to be used that way. But our octopus is an in sump skimmer.

It works great. Took a week or so to fine tune but it really skims the crap (pun intended) out of our water. Our is rated to 250 gallons so we definitely over skim but it does exactly what it is supposed to do. Just work with it and give it some time.

Lol ours sits on a platform that we made out of acrylic.

The pics should give you some indication as to how ours is set up. The water levels vary but it was just a week of trial and error for us. The discharge sat above water for several months and was irritatingly loud so this week my husband retrofitted a PVC elbow and it now discharges under the...
