      I wouldn't in any way switch to discus thinking it will be easier or cheaper than a reef tank. When I was doing discus, it was easily 5 times more work than a somewhat automated reef.

      If you start with juveniles, you need to do 50 - 100% daily water changes to prevent stunting. Otherwise, adults cost $100+ per fish and still require very good quality water, 50 - 100% per week water changes minimum.

      I'd considered doing discuss but after much thought / research decided to stick with angels.

      I know someone Liz who has some really nice Discus at great prices. High end.

    When I have a good deal with someone (i.e. they show up) I add them as my friend. If you're unsure about someone, if they're a friend of mine - it's like me vouching for them. :)

    Does anyone have a fish trap I could borrow? My Coral Beauty just went rogue. :(

      Yes, I was at happy hour and didn't feed my fish. The fungia was perfectly happy and the Coral Beauty started at its mouth and worked its way down. :(

      I think the fungia will pull through.

      Note, I've had the fungia for four years and the CB for 10 months.

      I had an Elbi angel that took a liking to some of my coral. He was dismissed too.

    For nearly 8 months I haven't had any aiptasia, I just now spotted one... AGGGGHHHH!

      Ditto. They just appear to annoy. I got rid of a big one with some epoxy, and then spotted a little one in the middle of my sympodium. Hoping the coral takes care of that one.

    Just got an order from Aqua SD - very, very happy. They pack very well. :)

      Aqua SD packages are pretty awesome to get!

      It always amazes me how little the bags are and the amount of water but everything comes in perfect and happy.

      How about the colors? Are their goodies really that awesome?

    Hermit crab drama! I just witnessed one hermit crab pick up another and slam him down multiple times. I was worried it was going to end badly. Instead, the attacked hermit vacated its shell, the battle hermit claimed that shell and the loser got the old shell. Things are crazy in hermit crab world!

    Found an empty snail shell. This scares me into thinking I still have a polyclad flatworm. Here's wishing I had started my tank with dead rock....Anymore dead snails and I may have to.

      I have reef systems that are decades old and I've never had any longterm success with snails. Got urchins bought in the '90s and had Sally Lightfoots 4-5 but snails rarely make it to a year.

      Ok, then that's good news, for some reason I thought they'd live for a long time. :)

      They can, I had a Astraea that lived for 8-10 years and and a shell over 2" tall and the diameter of a $.50 piece. But one out of thousands of shells I've seen isn't a good ratio.

    Just found some zoas I thought were eaten, yay for bulldozer snails! ;)

      Hmm, somehow this got put not my status...but I probably did it. Planeden

      I don't know when spores are bad, exactly. I saw a YouTube video of a guy clearing thn out while they were green. His method was to use a piece of airline tubing to have a little vacuum for the pieces and spores while attacking it with a scalpel and tweezers. I sadly didn't bookmark the video, but you can probably find it.

      Yep, I've seen that vid, Mr. Saltwater Tank... If the emerald crab eats it, they pop the bubbles, don't they?

    4. Planeden

      Planeden

      yes. but i think that the idea is that they continue to eat the algae as it crops back up. but i have no experience with any of it.
