Ya there is

Thanks for the input, I do appreciate any responses from you all. I'm not sure quarantining is a real option for any retail pet store but I do think educating them on better tank maintence and industry practices is realistic. If truth be told there are many of us in the hobby who can't...

Beautiful stand and tank

I couldn't agree more but I'm hoping with some help, from experienced and creditable local reefers, we could set them up to do just that . A little education from enough of us, who would in the future, up their sales by knowing their system was clean and they handled their live stock properly.

Hey All, I live in Cordelia (Fairfield) and we have a LFS, Pet Club, in Greenvalley. I've made the mistake of buying a couple fish from them in the past and it ended bad for me with an ICH attack. I often see sick or ICH covered fish in thier system and truly knew better then to buy from them...

Thank you

Unfortunately, I did not start keeping a written record on the tank until Nov. The tank started out as a FOWLR but I made the big mistake of buying a couple of fish from Petclub and got ich which not only claimed both host fish it also got my clown trigger. I tried treating but had shrimp and an...

Believe it or not I'm using two 36" Beamswork LED's off of Ebay. I don't get very good color during the day on all of the corals especially the Zoa's, the Chalices and Monti's look pretty good but the growth I guess says it all. At night I get great color using just the blue's but haven't been...

Can't believe how far this little tank has come! Almost to the one year mark with no sump or skimmer. Everything is growing and doing well. Still working on my 75g just picked up a sump and Jebao 40 wave maker. Thanks for the advice from the many I have met.

Well, while I have no scientific studies to back me and maybe just dumb luck on my side but garlic appeared to work for me on two diffrerent occasions. So since then I have soaked my frozen food in garlic guard. I drain it off before feeding but always soak in it. Placebo affect, maybe but I'm...

Hi, Did the stand get a home? If not what city are you in? Gene

Thanks, I have noticed it really growing as of late.

He definitely rules the tank he doesn't take crap from anybody

Thanks, ya my goal with the coral is to grow them out a bit then transfer select ones to my 75. Once I get it done that is. Always looking for advice on corals and water if you see something in the pictures

I am returning to the hobby after a 25 year absence. Can't believe how much has changed !! Really glad to find a Bay Area site. I am currently running a 40g while I play catch up on the all the advancements since I last had a tank and apply what I am learning to the 75g build I have going. Went...
