jolt

Thanks Ty! I know absolutely nothing about Zoa varieties, never having taken much interest. But my wife was happy I brought these to her! Acros do nothing for her. And I might be warming up to these little guys a little myself now that I've gotten my feet wet

The FarmerTy mixed zoa frag from the frag swap seems to like my tank OK ...

Red planet?

Time to put on the brakes?

That's horrible

Yes, very stealthy, but as Ty said there's no mistaking his path ...

I'm feeling blind ... where's Waldo?

I'm not sure but don't Hawkfish eat shrimp?

That's one sweet looking Tyree Cyphastrea Japonica Kevin! The rest look really nice too, good color distribution

Is that all Ty? Seems like you are slacking a little ...

What are the hours on Saturday?

If anyone has a rec on preferred brand for reliability or an extra to sell post away. I'd rather not crash this tank out of the gate (or, ever)

I've been very happy with my Vee Gee STX-3 got it from Amazon

You could check out Advanced Acrylics for an ATO container. I had them custom make mine and I really like it. They also have stock sizes up to 30 gallons, and usually have a black friday sale too!

As a south austinite I'm looking forward to checking the store out!

I love those Bellus Angels

Short video of the blue Mantis. I'll upload the better videos tomorrow.

Also, I bought a 1000mW 445nm laser to go aiptasia hunting. It's surprisingly effective, not to mention awesome. I mean it's a fricken laser! If any of y'all needed some dead aiptasia, let me know. I may be willing to come blast them. Because I'm nice, not because its fun, nor do I gain any pleasure destroying aiptasia... With a laser. [emoji41]

Dan - where did you buy your laser? I've had a couple of the aiptasia beasts pop up in my tank recently ...

I believe FarmerTy said he would be bringing some to the swap

I won't comment on whether to QT or not. But if you decide to, you might try borrowing a fish trap. I've borrowed one myself from an ARC member to catch a coral munching angelfish.

For the black schedule 40 check flexpvc (one of ARC sponsors). Do a search for PVC-BLACK on their website.

I'm pretty sure you can't be a *real* farmer with just one little 'ol 215 gallon tank ... Just sayin...

(Free bump - SOMEONE BUY THIS TANK!)

What's going on with "sump return 1" and "main return 3" ? I can't quite figure those out ....

Soon you'll be dosing clarified butter ....

Who was taking care of the tank for those two weeks? Is it possible something died like a snail or shrimp? Or perhaps something accidentally overfed or something spilled into the tank? How big were the water changes?

Is it me, or is your water a tad cloudy?

Do you have everything you need to do a water change in order to get the nitrates down (salt, RODI water, a tank or tub to mix it in, and a pump or powerhead to stir it up) ?
