Hey Keeper, I'm actually looking to pick up a couple K2's -- are you by any chance going to sell the ones you just swapped out?

Hey Roy!

I just wanted to thank you for the coral frags today. All those that I brought home seem to be opening up and doing well (even after some aggravating troubles getting them to stay put with glue or putty -- am I the only one that struggles to get my glue / putty to set up when placing corals?!).

I just wanted to point out that you have some of the best frags sizes / prices that I've seen, and that I really appreciated you helping out my up and coming tank.

Hope to be doing business with you again soon. It was great to meet you.

--Greg

I have lots of hermits that need a new home -- thinning out my numbers.

I'm in the arboretum area of Austin -- I'd be happy to trade some hermits for the frag

Thanks,

Greg

Am I the only SSI certified diver here on the boards?

I've been dry ever since I moved to TX from MI. 3 years and counting. I recently just got all my gear down here from my Dad's house, so I'll be looking to get back into as soon as I get a new wetsuit. (Somehow my old one 'shrunk'....and I don't think I need an 8mm one down here in TX )

I turn off all powerheads // Skimmer // return pumps when doing my routine feeding and leave them off for about 10 minutes (or whenever the food is gone) and then just turn them on again.

It's funny, as soon as those suckers go off all those fish hit the surface of the water waiting for food.

When I feed the corals once a week, I'll leave the powerheads off for about 30-40 min, and usually the return pump too -- but I could realistically leave the return pump on as well as it doesn't move a ton of water in my tank.

Mama. Put me and Ryan's name on the biocube. We'll take it off your hands. Does it come with any live sand? Can we pick it up on Wednesday?

All I can say is that check to make sure you aren't crooked against your wall!

Call it a rookie mistake, or the excitment of setting up your first salt water tank, but mine goes for 2.5 inches from one corner, to 5.5 inches from the wall from the other.

Oops!

Tank is also slightly off on the stand itself. Guess it's staying that way until the unforeseeable future. It's too heavy to worry about now! =)

Did you ever have issues with it knocking stuff over in your tank?

I really like the Blue Tuxedo, and currently do not have any urchins in the tank. However, it is a new set up and I would hate to introduce something that would go and mess up the place real bad.

No joke? -- Clowns can change sexes? Thats actually kind of cool - I never knew that!

So, I should get one big ole clown, and a smaller one then huh? -- Good to know, I was thinking I'd have to both get them small and let them grow together.

Thanks guys,

Hey guys and gals,

My name is Greg, and I'm pretty new to the salt water aquarium scene. I've been trolling the forums for a long while (most the trade / sell forums to get this tank going!) but haven't really done a whole lot of posting. However, I have to say I really enjoy the community here at ARC!

I have a 75g tank, with about 100lbs (or 115ish) of LR, with about a 2 - 2 1/2 inch sugar sand bed. I have one huge specimen of frogspawn coral (about 11 heads of it!) -- and a big ol' coral, which was sold to me as hammer coral (about 8 heads) but I have my doubts if it really is a hammer coral or some kind of torch coral. I also have a good colony of GSP, and some other little button polyps. 2 Green Chromis (sorry 'lefty' - who was my 3rd Chromis - that you had to be the way I found out my huge Green Emerald Crab had a huge Green Emerald Appetite), and 1 very small yellow tang.

But to the question!

I really want to add 2 clownfish to my set up but I don't think this will come any time soon, as I'm letting my tank catch up to the recent bio-load additions. However, I would really like to add 1 Black & White Ocellaris Clown, and then one standard False Perc Ocellaris Clown. In some reading, I found that the black & white ocellaris can coexhist with other clowns, but I wanted to see if anyone had any luck doing my above scenerio? Additionally, should I make sure to get two females? Or a Male / Female combination? Is there any precautions or special acclimation steps that I should in order to make sure I don't have Fish Fight Club when I introduce them to my tank?

Just looking for some expert input!

Thanks,

Greg
