ShawnM,

Thanks for the offer.

I got some at the dome.

Looking for a handful of Chaeto or Gracilaria to start my algae reactor.

I'm in Cedar Park.

Thanks!

Wow! That is a steal. Wish I had room. Awesome fish.

No first hand experience with a Pink Tail, but I have had 2 different Niger Triggers and a Blue Throat in my reef tank without any real issues. HTH.

I can piggyback with ~$31 worth if we make the free shipping.

Thanks Brooks.

They went straight to one of the BTAs and were eating within minutes.

Good to hear.

Thanks for the responses!

Anyone have two pairs of mated clowns in the same tank?

Is it working?

I have a mated pair of true percs that have been hosting a BTA in one end of my 180g for years.

Wondering if I could safely add another pair (to hopefully host at least one of the two BTAs that are at the other end of the 180g).

Thanks.

Go through the payment process like you were ordering for yourself and when the shipping comes up, make it Group Buy. Then in the comments type: Austin Reef Club

I understand what you are saying. However, I was asking nemirn because I thought he was buying the 500 ceriths for $75.99 deal and looking for people to split it with. Maybe I misuderstood.

Cool. FedEx is definitely a better option in this case.

nemirn - I would like 200 of the dwarf ceriths ~ $31. How do you want to handle payment?

Will this be coming Express Mail or with a different carrier? I ask because Express Mail is normally a two day delivery from Florida to Cedar Park.

Hi Clint,

I'm good. Teaching 3rd grade now and that takes most of my time. The only SPS I had when I first dosed the Algaefix was a Green Monti Cap and it is thriving. I've since added a Digi, a Milli, another cap, and an encrusting monti and they don't seem to have been bothered by the 'maintenance' doses of Algaefix. Sorry I can't be more help. Best of luck whatever you decide.

Hi Clint,

I feel your pain. I fought hair algae for months (seemed like years) trying every natural remedy I could think of - snails, crabs, tangs, rabbit fish, cowries, sea hares, urchins, lettuce nudis, etc. Nothing helped much. I am very skeptical of chemical 'cures', but finally worked up the courage to try AlgaeFix Marine. It worked!! Within days the hair algae started to disappear. AlgaeFix Marine wiped it out. The downside was that it also wiped out the chaeto in my fuge, and there was a lot of decaying crud to vacuum out as the GHA died. Don't know if it will work for you, but it might be worth considering. HTH.

Thanks for the Yellow, Jason. It is already eating and exploring its new home.

I'm interested in the Yellow Tang if still available......

LMK.

Thanks,

Ed

Thanks for the info!

I could definitely use the rocks for the tank at school if you would be willing to donate them.

Thanks,

Ed

How about donating them to a school? If you still have the rocks and/or plants, I would love to have them for the 75g Cichlid tank at school (Volma Overton Elementary).

Thanks!

Ace (Hobogato) is on his way to help fix the tank.

Thanks Ace!

The front right seam of my 180g blew yesterday. Long story short, I was home at the time (thankfully) and immediately clamped it back together to slow the leak while moving fish, corals, and rock to other tanks/barrels/tubs.

My 45g frag tank is now housing 3 tangs, 3 clams, 3 anemones, 2 clowns, 1 copperband, and several corals. My two 18" engineers are in the stock tank with other corals and rock. Everything is now reasonably stable.

However, I still need to get the tank fixed! I have left a couple messages for Kingfish, but have not heard back yet. I have heard/read great things about them, but time is critical.

Are there any other places in the Austin area that can do this kind of repair? I'm guessing that Weldon 40 should be used to put it back together, but I'm no expert.

Looking for advice, ideas, suggestions, etc. Need to get this thing fixed and back in service. Help!

I've bought acrylic rod at Regal before. I used a masonry bit and hammer drill for the holes and it worked well for me.

Thanks for putting this together for us Jim. I appreciate it.

Jim,

Please put me down for 100 Golden Astrea snails.....$29

Thanks,
