Here is a picture of it. It's been in my DT for a day now. After some comments and some reading I'm wondering if I should just stick it in a bucket for week and see if it survives. Though maybe if there are eggs though they could have already dislodged and started circulating in my tank and I'm...

Dip both coral RX and bayer?

This rack and everything in it: Also picked up this frag that at least 25 flatworms? on it. Still trying to figure out if its okay to add to the tank after my coral Rx and Bayer dips.

I picked up this frag today at the show. I counted at least 25! what I think may have been flatworms on it. I went through 10 min Coral Rx - 5 min rest in saltwater -> 15 mins in bayer insect killer mix -> 5 min rest, and repeated that cycle a 2nd time. No new pests were spotted in the water on...

1 ticket for me. Paypal sent. I'm bringing my 9 year old son and it seems according to the website 12 and under is free so I guess I don't need a ticket for him.

My 9yr old son had me pick up the large live rock with a coral attached on my first turn picking in the donation room. Thanks to whoever advised cutting off the coral with scissors and just dipping that. My son had a blast smashing up the rock and picking through all the brittle stars, worms...

Ok I'm heading over. Will bring the BTA in a 5 gallon in the hopes i can move it to a smaller container for the swap.

I had forgotten this is today so haven't signed up yet. I didn't plan ahead so i don't have a clear container big enough for my rose BTA so if I come I probably won't bring anything to swap. Is there space for 1 or 2 more (would it be allowed for me to bring my 9yr old son or is it 18+ only?)

Thank you everyone who hosted and brought corals! I am looking forward to getting the samples I brought home into my main tank. Can someone share the formula for using the Bayer insect killer dip? How many drops or ounces/milliliters to what volume of saltwater for the dip?

Wow. Looks cool but way more then I would want to spend on automatic alkalinity measurement. That pricetag is definitely motivating me to get back to testing/debugging my automatic alkalinity titrator prototype though. Hopefully more companies get products to market and the competition can get...

Is there room for one more? I don't have any rock to sculpt at the moment but I would be interested to see marco rock and how others build aquascaping with it. My only previous experience was stacking BRS reef saver rock in my 37 gallon a few years ago. I plan to start a new tank (perhaps a...

Planning a new tank. Hoping to do it right.
