As some of you know, i always keep a bin of live sand wet and cooking for those spontaneous moments when I get inspired to set up a new tank on the fly. This has worked well in the past and never had issues. Just this weekend, I pulled some sand from the bin to spruce up a bare bottom nano...

My kid asked me for a tank upgrade today.... brings tears to my eyes! Granted it's FW and we went from 2G to 6G. But hey, that's a 3X upgrade! ...wish I can do that with my other tanks....

Just this past week, i found two incidences of rusting magnets that I did not expect. The first was a a cracked wetside magnet from my Smart ATO (one with 2 part lens). Just a hairline crack the showed signs of rust seepage. Easy to miss... Second one blew my mind. Random chance i stuck my...

My company sponsors the BMW car for Formula E. Had to come into the office today for a meeting and saw them moving the car in to chill out in the lobby... Hope someone accidentally leaves the keys behind...

There was a post of successful tank spawning of scolies by Coral Spawning Lab on another forum. Pretty exciting... been trying to achieve similar for awhile in my home setup. While no spawn yet, i do have budding across a few of my scolies...

Just spent my lunch pulling kenya trees... I have A LOT. Anyone want some before I compost them?

Thought be fun to start a thread to track development of torch babies that resulted from a mini spawn in my tank from beginning of August. After battling some tank issues, i saw some white stringy material around the mouth of my holygrail. I wasn't sure at the time that it was a spawning event...

Recently, I came across a successful infiltration of AEFW into my main tank. Perhaps the reason for the demise of multiple pieces and colonies after my tank fully recovered from some tainted trace earlier in the year. So got me thinking about AEFW and best way to tackle the problem...

Here's the strangest request for the week. Anyone have some AEFW I can have? ===/ Now the reason so you don't think I am crazy... I want to test for minimum effective dose using melafix to try to figure out feasibility for an in tank treatment. Dipping with melafix works well to get rid of...

This is why DBTC exists... My DBTC mother rainbow pocillopora colony after suffering at hands of Dr Tim's Eco-balance: Thankfully i have dbtc'd among my other tanks....

Just tested the "IGNORE" button -- on BAR, it completely hides all posts from user who gets the function applied on. Not just blocking PM messages... NICE!

Edit: corrected dimensions ==== Have a set of custom handmade shoji doors and panels made by Hana Shoji in Oakland. Great craftsmanship (after all, he did make and install shojis at Larry Ellison's place in Atherton :). ) Had replaced these when we did our last remodel but have been holding...

With my tanks right next to my desk, and about to start up two more skimmers, I'm considering moving to a quieter skimmer. Any one have experiences between Vertex vs Deltec vs NYOS in terms of noise? Currently running Vertex atm.

Found this resource on R2R the other day... it's a really nicely put together guide to ID dinos and some suggested actions.

@Tim Obert 's post the other day about poor online experiences gave me the idea that it might be good to have a running list of online vendors that we've had positive dealings with. While I always prefer LFS first, some things just aren't available locally. Quick list to start. Some well...

That time again! While i was trying to save my DT with a WC, i figure might as well improve flow and harvest some kenyas off my rockwork. Have a bunch to offer up to supporting members. Lemme know!

My lightning has been developing phantom markings over last few months. With traits getting stronger over time. First time I've seen this... any ideas? (@Kim Pattison ?) (BTW, this is one of the 2 that cost me more than half of my shroom collection... grrr. Hopefully it'll pay me back...

Converting my shroom tank to sps... especially after the maroons covered the majority of my collection with sand in and aggressive overnight "house cleaning" 8x8 pond basket filled with empty frag plugs that use to have shrooms... :( you can imagine how many plugs and shrooms once were...

Can you tell at what point I switched out my reagent, and then calibrated? Picture said 1000 words. Calibrate those Tridents when switching out reagents regularly! When I saw my numbers jump up, I erred on side of caution and shut off my doser, which contributed to the decline in Ca+ levels...

Some yet to be released Kessils at Neptune. Look like laser cannons to me...with promise of firing off insane PAR. Great colors in the tank! Check them out if your in there next time. It's in their display room...
