Hi everyone, I'm finally back in the hobby, after 8 year break. I ended up getting a IM Nuvo 20. The tank has been cycling for a month, and after one large water change this weekend I'll start looking for a cleaning crew. So glad to see the Club still alive and healthy, I look forward to...

Hi Everyone, I must say this post happened about 3 years sooner then I thought it would. About 2 years ago I had to sell my dream tank due to the birth of my son. I'm glade I did, it would have been way to much work with a infant, and the tank would have suffered. Through an unfortunate event...

Ouch, right after the swap I have a tank problem. Everything was great, I went out for lunch and came back to a dark tank. After a lot of trouble shooting, I found that my AC thought that the tank temp was 101. It turned off the light and turned on all fans. By the time I found out what was...

I need to catch a 6" clown. Does anyone have a fish trap I can borrow? I will be at the dec meeting, or can pick up around SF. Thanks, Tim

Hi Everyone, So far my tank is doing great, but I have noticed a few small spots of Bryopsis. I would like to deal with it before it becomes a problem. I'm thinking of raising my Mag with Tech-M. I would like to hear from people that have tried it. I remember trying this 2 years ago, and...

Hi Everyone, I tried to remove a GBTA tonight and failed. I really don't want to hurt it, but would like to give one of the clone's away. I put about eight ice cubes in a ziplock bag, and placed it on the foot. It got stressed, both clowns bit me several times, and the foot didnt let go...

Hi Everyone, I've been fighting red slime, I've resisted using chemicals. A few people keep saying just use red slime control. Should I give in and use it, or keep up the fight of blowing it off and water changes. I hate the idea of using chemicals, any other idea's? Thanks, Tim

I was looking at my plate coral today, and was suprised to see 5 super small corals moving away. They are way to small to try and grab/glue to a plug. It was really just a nice suprise. I'll be looking around in a week or so, to try and attach them to a rock. Sorry about the bad pic, I...

Hi Everyone, I have not been very succesful working with acrilic. I have a sump that I would like to cut teeth in. I would like to lower the water in the front chamber about 1-2 inch's, and leave teeth to prevent stuff traveling into second chamber. What would be the best way to do it? If...

I was losing several corals and I couldn't figure out why. I was tosing a green/purple cap when I found the cause, Monti eating Nudi. I wish I found this out earlier all I have left if 2 caps. My plan is to dip these every 2 days, followed by a close inspection. Does anyone have any advice...

Hi Everyone, I'm starting to see a lot of Caulerpa in my frag tank. What would you recommend to eat it. I have no fish in the tank, so it would have to be something that does not require additional food. Thanks, Tim

I'm setting up an Acrilic tank and would like to know a good safe cleaner. Thanks
