I'd lean toward something like a Yellow-Eyed Kole Tang.

The hippo will outgrow the tank and the powder brown/blue tend to have a lot of problems with ich. The Kole tang is hardy and will help keep your glass clean, and is a lot of fun to watch.

Happy Birthday Andrew! Hope you have a great day!

Can you provide more details or pictures? What type of anemone? How long have you had it? Has it been healthy? Have you actually seen the clown take a bite out of the anemone?

Both clones sold, but the mother anemone is almost fully expanded again so I could have another clone soon.

What's your temperature been like over the last few months? Any chance you're running a controller have been tracking temp/ph?

Exactly! Now you need a whole school of lucky clowns to give those nems some love!

Welcome aboard! Tell us a bit about what you're looking to have in your tank? Fish, corals, anemones, you name it. The more info you provide the more advice we can give.

Also, you should definitely come to our meeting this month (August 18th, 3pm). The topic is nano biotopes and you'll get to see Teresa's nano setups to give you an idea of what is possible in your tank.

The order has been placed, but will not arrive until next week so buckets will be available for picking starting Friday 8/10/12.

Lowes, Home Depot, and Walmart all sell DIY screen kits. You buy the frame, screen, screen spline, and a spline tool. Cut the frame to the dimensions you want, lay the screen over it, apply the spline that holds the screen in the frame, then trim off the excess screen. Should take you 30mins or less. Walmart also has several different screen materials, I prefer the small black weave which allows light through but is small enough to keep fish in the tank. Make sure not to get solar screen material as its purpose is to block light.

I would put screens rather than solid acrylic on the top, it allows oxygen exchange and heat to escape.

Great work all around!

I do not see where to vote.

There is a poll and a "vote" button at the top of the page in most browsers. Are you viewing by phone or on a computer?

I'll take 1 bucket of Corallife please.

for any interested, please vote in the poll at top to reflect the count

The current count is:

Coralife: 13 (min count 10 to order)

Red Sea: 9 (min count 20 to order)

So, we need someone to add 11 Red Sea for that portion of the order to make or those getting Red Sea can switch to Coralife. Ordering will close at 9pm tomorrow so that Jake has time to get them.

Several of our sponsors sell LED lights, I've found that the best way to see what you like is to go look at them. For example, Austin Aquadome now has quite a few different LEDs on display over a variety of tanks. Jake at RCA can talke to you about them as well since you're up north.

Our online sponsors American Aquarium, Champion Lighting, Get Pumped Saltwater, and Premium Aquatics also all sell LED fixtures

I'll take it if it's still available. I work near Westlake high school.

Woohoo! Sounds like both you and Josh are winners today!

I think a good time was had by all who made it down to the surf and sand. Special thanks to all the gang who attended the breakfast, bbq, and bonfire. I was really sorry to hear about Thunder, Dena, we'd looked forward to seeing ya'll there. It's great you were able to get him help so quickly though!

For those of you who didn't make it, or those who did but didn't get to swing by, I have 4 exclusive 1st Annual ARC Coast Trip shirts left, $20 each. PM me if you're interested.

I can't speak to the efficacy of this particular product, but I've not used an herbal ich remedy that has worked. I believe QT is your best bet. Anyone else?

Sold

I've got a clip-on 150MH that should be cool. Is your tank only 6" tall?!?

Welcome back! Plenty of our members have chaeto available when they do water changes, so you should be able to pick some up free. Worst case we can arrange to have some at our August meeting. Hope to see you there!

I spoke with park officials and they said to come down and have a blast. The beach in front of the McGee County Park is open 24/7 to bonfire activities. They also have a picnic area with grills and tables near the beach.

How far is the hotel from this park and South Jetty?

Looks like about 2 miles

Why wouldn't you just put a 45 or 90 degree elbow under it?
