I second the UV and the plants(Hyacinth, water lettuce, horwort, Elodea...) Or you can introduce a starter culture of Daphnia and start selling live fish food =)

Hmm, I think the brown stuff might be zooxanthellae as well. If it was sperm, I think it should have been whitish in color. If it was eggs, I think it should have been buoyant and floated to the surface. I am just basing this on all the National Geographic type coral spawning videos...

1g + 4462g = 4463g

Something like this? http://www.reefs.org/forums/post1595381.html#p1595381

Very nice, Ant! Your tank is aging like fine wine =) Can I request a close up of the gorgonian?

Got any cool articles on breeding threadfins?

Omg, these guys have it the worse. I think Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs should feature these guys. The oil and sweat... good lord!

Change of plan. I think I will have 8x 10g on one temp controller and then 4x 20g on another temp controller. Hmm... what else?

I am setting up a 2 story fish rack with 8x 10g and 2x 20g glass tanks. I would like to hook up all the individual heaters(25w Marineland Stealth) to 1(or even 2) temp controllers to ensure a stable temp in all tanks. Would a Ranco single stage ETC-111000-000 be right for the job? Does anyone...

Wow, great articles! Thanks Gresham!

The little cute red ones are probably in the genus Convolutriloba. If you slap one under the scope, you can chk out the endosymbiotic algae within. It must be neat to be partially solar powered!

11-30-2008 Nothing added since 11-23. I had to mow down the Caulerpa on the right a bit. It was getting too touchy-feely with the neighboring Bird's Nest. Attached files

Horde of flatworms, 3-4 Aiptasia, 6-7 bubble algae... almost forgot about my 2 beloved Stomatella snails. Hooray for biodiversity!

There's quite a bit of fluctuations in this set-up (pH, salinity, temperature...etc). The pH usually starts off at 7.6 in the morning and reaches 8.0 or so by late afternoon. Salinity starts off at around 34-35 and by the end of the week it is usually up close to 38-39. I get anywhere from...

I live fairly close to this store and the only things I purchase here are Tubifex worms and crickets. I only shop at this store due to its convenience, period. The livestock appears to be on a centralized system. I often see both freshwater and saltwater fishes covered in ich or other...

I totally dig that picture frame and the Eclipse fuge!

It was nice meeting you today John. This build looks epic! I'll be following it for sure. I really like the way you are keeping the VorTechs outta view. Btw, I am not too sure about that burger from Jack in the box... =(
