  1. Yes they are the ASD Premium Agaves.

    Andrew, is this the 4-gallon Ecoxotic Ecopico? I'm looking to do a pico and was wondering how you're liking it so far. What is the daily evaporation like?

    Yes, though it is technically 5.1 gallons. With the glass lid removed I maybe lose 3/4 cup of water a day. Much less with the lid on.

    Oh wow, that's not as bad as some of the others' I've read. A lot of people have been saying they need to top off 1/2 - 1 gallon a day. From the reflection on the water in one of your pics, it looks like you added another LED strip? Or is that just from the distortion of the water? Are you planning on any fish? Sorry for all the questions, man. Only tank I've had was 60 gallons and a nano or pico makes me a bit nervous.

    When I had mine, it was around 3/4 of a cup a day as well -- not too bad at all. Also, the lighting fixture is wide enough for you to fit 5 of the strips comfortably. Thats what I did... 3 blue and 2 white and the color was great!

  2. God, I want these bad boys! If people are willing to go 3rds with me on it, I'd gladly do that!

    i thought id be hard to frag this but if you think we wont lose any in the process im in. that would give us about 8 each or so?

    Zoanthids are easy to frag... just a Dremel and we're set. And yeah, around 8 each.

  3. Hey everyone!

    Was hoping to find some of this red marco algae that I used to have. I know there are quite a few people who had it a while back, but wanted to see if there was some still around.

    Also, if anyone has any other cool algaes they'd like to send me, please do! PM would be great! smile.png

  4. I think it would be possible that it is a bloom of some sort. Wether or not it was from overdosing Stability or not, I can't say. Try doing a smaller water change and monitor the parameters closely. Also, like everyone else has already said, make sure there aren't any pumps blowing sand around.

  5. If I was laid off, putting things in my tank would be the last thing on my mind.

    Which, is why he is asking for free corals. Calling his judgement into question probably isn't what he came here for. Nor did he come for a life coach.

    I don't think anyone is calling this person out for asking for free coral. It happens all the time on the forum and people oblige it. However, to come in to the forum with little/no introduction and/or interaction and ask for concierge service was off putting when there was no prior interaction between the user and the rest of the club.

    Participate a little in the forum and try again later.

    I agree with you in that he is new and probably should've supplied a little more information about himself, his set up(s), etc. However, the comment made was completely unnecessary.

    While I don't think that his outright asking of people to bring free corals to his home was the best thing to do, I can see that it wasn't said in a demanding manner, nor was he trying to just grab some freebies and take off. Like everyone has stated, this is a family and a tight-knit community of very generous and caring people. That being said (many times prior to this), jumping down someone's throat because they slipped up isn't what our community is about. Nor making a jab at someone's judgement.

    SourDatx, no harm done. I suggest, like others already have, making an introduction thread and getting yourself a little better acquainted with our community. You'll come to find that people are far more generous, kind and caring that what has been displayed here if you just give it time, and let us get to know you better! smile.png
