I moved some rocks around to create the anemone island on the right. There are 7 rose bubble anemones on the island! -
For all the Vlamingi Tang lovers out there. Here's a picture of my big boy. He's about 10 inches long and super fat. I'm glad my tank is big enough for him. -
I have not been active in ARC for s while. I am still big into keeping fish. Here's the. Latest image of my tank. -
I love sail fin tangs! Elvis looks good!

They look like green tea cup palys to me. I have some similar ones that are slightly brown.

Looks great! Congrats on the anniversary!

I see the fuzzy lionfish at Aquadome from time to time. I always have to talk myself out of getting one though I have been reconsidering getting one for my predator tank.

Sweet, count me in on the group buy.

I would like to get a bunch of cerith snails for my tank. I have not seen any in local shops, but then again I haven't really looked. Does anyone know if any of our local shops sell them?

How long have you been in the hobby? When I first started I tested all the time and always freaked about my nitrates. After a while I started being able to tell if my nitrates were getting high by looking at a specific coral. As some folks have mentioned already, the tests are highly variable and easy to mess up. I am still waiting for one of the Hanna Checkers to be a Nitrate test. It is true about the filter media. If you have it in there, it will trap stuff and cause nitrates to build up. That's why you clean your filters though. As long as you keep up with it, it shouldn't be a problem.

I'd just a Hoevan's Wrasse to get rid of flatworms. I put one in my tank when I had flatworms and they were gone in two weeks. I haven't had a single parasite in the tank since adding the Hoevan's.

Looks like a Kenya Tree type coral. They can be pretty cool. I love the coloration on the stalk of that one. It looks like your sea horse likes it.

I've done it before and didn't have any problems. You can always get some plastic sheets if you're concerned and make a "kill room" type area ("Dexter" reference) that is just your aquarium. It'd seal it all out.

I am okay then. It's been over an hour and no sensations of pain other than right at the penetration point. It just feels like a splinter. No swelling or discoloration. I think my main concern was that I had no basis of comparison for what it would feel like. I have not been stung by a bee or bitten by an ant in many many years.
