  1. needs more liverock. and gsp. some xenia and brown polyps wouldn't hurt either.
  2. I voted to get rid of them suckers! They're nothing but trouble, IMO. I'd use peppermints.
  3. Dang, nice grab on the 3" RP. Good for you, sad for me.
  4. Cool, glad to hear the company standing behind its service and products. Are you going to frag off the living parts, or keep it whole? I've never had much luck with part of a coral dying and the rest surviving unless I cut off the dead parts. But yours may be fine, who knows.
  5. Hope you ripped into whoever you bought that from; you shouldn't be selling corals over the internet if you don't even know how to ship them properly. Sad, what a beautiful coral.
  6. I'm going to add a vote out of experience for ALK swings, which happened in my tank and I lost a big birdsnest colony just as you describe due to it. I have a small tank which is even harder to stabilize too sometimes than larger tanks. Definitely keep on top of pH/dkH. To fix my problem I had to dose buffer twice a day instead of one, now things are stable and all my SPS are much happier.
  7. Tank looks real nice and clean Robb, good job. Can't wait to see more of it.
  8. I have no experience with a Blue and Gold, but I have a Tailspot Blenny that has been perfectly reef safe for me. Sorry to hear your bad luck.
  9. That's great to hear, I picked up a Reef Octopus 150 recirculating for my 75g. I've read generally positive things about these skimmers for the price, but I was a little hesitant to pick it up over some of the other more established brands. Hopefully mine will perform just as good as well.
  10. That's a good price on those ballasts, great for a DIY.
  11. Also no disrespect, but perhaps you should have planned this out a little better, instead of posting the ad after dismantling your tank, and having all your livestock in such a precarious situation. That is very short notice...
  12. No problem, yes this tank is drilled. It is ReefReady, drilled with two holes, installed with a center overflow box, durso stand pipes, and flow accelarators are included. I think perhaps the confusion is that Oceanic makes two models of this tank, a RR and a non-RR version. Mine IS the ReefReady version. Oceanic calls their ReefReady system Megaflow. Here is an image I found that shows the center overflow and accessory kit; the corner protectors in this image are there for shipping and are removed for use. Also note all the edges are mitred to a really nice finish: Here is another picture with the Coralife Aqualight (also part of the Oceanic brand) installed:
  13. Replied to PMs, edited my description. I also have a NIB Coralife Aqualight Advanced Hang/Clip-on 150w HQI light fixture I would be willing to sell along with this tank. It is what I had planned on using with this tank to keep the clean rimless aesthetic.
  14. Hi folks, I've got an Oceanic Illuminata 57g ReefReady Rimless Aquarium for sale. New, never touched water. About 4 Months old. Comes with Megaflow system w/Stand Pipes. $350 OBO Price Drop $300 Oceanic.com Reefbuilders w/Pics & Video Can take pics myself if wanted but its exactly the same as above. EDIT: This is the tank only, the sumps, pumps, lights, and the tech series stand is not included. It seems my description could cause some confusion. the Megaflow overflow system by Oceanic includes the drilled reefready tank, overflow box, and an accessory kit which includes Durso Stand Pipes, as well as flow accelerators.
  15. Does your light still work without a bulb or two? If so, and you really think it is the light, you could try removing a bulb. I've also heard of cheap, or bad bulbs browning out corals, but I don't know too much about that.
  16. That is a starting dose, and you will need to adjust it accordingly. There is a max of 1ml per gallon of each component daily. Just do daily testings of calcium,dkh, and pH, adjusting the dosages until everything is normalized. BTW, I use B-Ionic in addition to water changes to regulate my calcium, hardness and pH with good success. It's also supposed to provide all the important trace elements. I think it is a great product so far.
  17. How do the copepods get from your sump to the display?
