Thanks! Thought so - great looking piece!

Very interdasting... Was in there last week and didn't see any, but dang did they have a TON of fish on hand. Full tanks and a dozen or so boxes waiting to be opened. Thanks for the quick reply!

Where did you find these? Ran across a pair a couple of years back and would love to find some more!

What is this gorgeous neon green coral??

Did they charge you for the algae?

LOL! Have literally sat across from him as he asked me what I know about fluid dynamics so he knows how much to dumb down the rest of the conversation for me. 😆🤣

This man speaks the truth!

Well that doesn't sound ideal either. Is there any way to determine which palys are toxic/dangerous and which aren't?

I need to move this rock, and it’s likely that some of these purple palys will get squished in the process. Am I going to die?

Had this Dendro colony for about 6 mos now. Last 6 weeks or so I started to notice something weird going on. Rough, uneven skin, not looking like new growth, but something bad. Now has algae growing on it. Here are vid and pic from today before/after algae cleaning, and from Dec where you can see how smooth it was before. Thinking about trying to cover w/ superglue. Is this a good idea? If yes, suggestions on best way to do so? Every time I've tried to apply underwater, it's been a mess and not always achieving the desired result.

PM'd on Orange Diamond Goby

Orange Diamond Goby? If so, dibs! & pic?

Tank looks AMAZING, Juice!! WOW!! Great vid Ty!

4:1 odds that Ty has already emailed his lawyer and asked that this be included in his will. 🤣

Noice! Picked up another Orange Diamond Goby today, so it's in QT and the Wrasse and Tang went into the DT a couple of days early. This one looks healthier coming in from the LFS to begin with. Also grabbed a sea hare, 20 assorted hermits, 5 turbos and 3 nassarius (inch-ish). Used my mixed saltwater to change out the QT, so I'll mix another batch and deal w/ the skimmer and/or water change tomorrow.

Also - what melted my mushrooms?!?!

Definitely showing 0 TDS. Pretty sure I changed out all chambers of my filter less than a year ago. Never changed more than ~15gal at a time, as that's the biggest barrel I own. When I run ChemiClean: Turn off carbon reactor Run skimmer, but take the top off and just let it run over and back into the sump. I figure that adds the air exchange the instructions ask for. Run filter socks to catch the crud as I get aggressive w/ the turkey baster and put as much into the water column as possible. When I'm ready to clean out the Chemi, I fire up the carbon reactor and do a water change. Haven't done the change this time yet. Maybe I'll run it wet and into a bucket and replace as needed. I like that idea. I have a Kole Tang about 5 days from ending QT and heading in. He'll eat some of the green algae that's popped up in the last month or so since my sea hare died (she ate all the algae and I didn't get her out fast enough after). I need to pick up an Orange Diamond Goby that will turn the sand over enough that whatever it is can't build up. Had one in this QT batch, but it didn't make it. What kind of hermits? And where can I get more of the giant Nassarius I have? The big 1.5" ones - have 3 and could use another 5. The ones I order from Reef Cleaners are the tiny ones (I have a ton of those too).

So, I have been fighting this...whatever...for the last 6 months or so. I thought it was cyano, but not 100% sure now. It's not as "sheety" or maroon/dark as what I think cyano is, but close enough. I have treated w/ ChemiClean 4 times now. 1st time it worked pretty well, but the cyano came back a couple of weeks later. Fast forward to this week and the ChemiClean (heavy dosage) had literally zero effect. This is Day 4 - barely a dent. Is it immune to ChemiClean now?? Even worse, these Superman Rhodactis have not only been bulletproof, but thriving for 2+ years, and today they are dissolved into shroomgoo. I have no idea if the two are related, but both make me sad, so here we are. Someone please tell me how to fix this!

Rockwork looks great! What kind of rock is that?

That's because you refuse to use your display tank!

Just want to say that aside digging all the beautiful corals in your tank, I crack up every time I read the thread title!

Good timing on that last little exchange. Kept me from getting a Flame Angel last week, and now I'm glad!

If you like that kind of thing...

^^^ Beat me to it. A 3D printer seems like a boat to me - better to have a friend w/ one than one yourself.
