Some of you might remember me: http://www.bareefers.org/forum/threads/reef-hobbyist-40b.16742/ I'm looking for a favor. My friend is a filmmaker and we had a chat about the reef tank I had and he was super excited to make a short video cos its such a cool hobby. Unfortunately I don't have my...

The mother colony has been in my DT since I started the hobby, white body and green polyps, very wavy... DBTC Rules I use "DBTC" as a backup in case my coral dies. This means you give me a frag(when extras are available) if mine dies. My goal is to have a backup, NOT to pass around free coral...

The mother colony has been in my DT since I started the hobby, its grey-white and has beautiful white polyps. Pic of the mother colony under white light when I got it (notice how the head has a touch of green, this changed turned less green after I switched lights) 3 frags available (baby...

Okay... last week before my water change I noticed my filter sock clogged... after PWC, changed to new sock and in just a week was almost going to overflow (usually change socks once in 2 weeks) but was wondering how it clogged so fast, sock was not even brown yet! Changed to another socks and 3...

Hey BAR members, Have a wonderful, joyous, blessed and a safe New Year :) May this year bring you great success & stability in ReefKeeping!

I'm looking for a pump that I can use externally to siphon water out of my sump... The sump sits 2" above ground level but manual siphon takes ages and is so slow that it doesn't suck detritus! I saw Roberto (@newhobby) using a tiny ebay pump and connected it to one end of a PVC that he uses...

Just got back from Reef-A-Palooza and noticed my acan echinata receded 80% and 2 other chalices are starting to recede... This feels exactly what I went though the last time I lost almost every LPS (randomly melting). I did more reading and several threads say there could be either black bugs...

Its BNIB, I won this at the previous BAR frag swap. Was hoping I could trade for something but nobody showed interest, so this is FREE now :) Pickup in Santa Clara, weekdays after 6pm.

I got this as an orange monti from Devon (not as DBTC) more than a year ago... with changing so many lights, this one slowly turned pinkish, bleached in between & colored back to light pink... positive it'll get back to darker pink/orange under the right lighting :) My 1" frag grew to 4+" and...

Got this email from AI and thought its worth sharing :) Looks like the same Hydra with brighter LEDs and AIFI (wifi) http://www.aquaillumination.com/lighting/hydra/HD_Information_Packet.pdf

DBTC Rules I use "DBTC" as a backup in case my coral dies. This means you give me a frag(when extras are available) if mine dies. My goal is to have a backup, NOT to pass around free coral to everyone. When you have frags available, add them to this DBTC so we can get more people to have this...

After lights went off, found this one (about 5mm) on the glass moving slowly. Immediately sucked it out with a syringe and put it on a black surface with a few drops of water... it started moving around like crazy & fast... This is the closest macro I could get. Good / Bad ???

I got this from BAR's member swap a while ago. Had 2 pieces so DBTC'ing away one... Its more pink than orange, glows nicely, not sure if this lineage is same as what @siokoy DBTC'd. This one is 2" and not mounted on any frag plug... just sitting on my sand bed for now. I also have a small baby...

Slowly getting into SPS and greedy to see more coloration on them, I'm thinking to add a single T5 next to my LEDs. If you're not aware, I have 2 Hydra 26s suspended over my DT and I don't want to destroy the look, so I'm looking for a 24-30" very minimal single T5 fixture that I somehow want...

I was looking at my past pics and came across the first reef tank I setup when I fell in love with this hobby after visiting a LFS. It was a basic Aqueon 29 gallon, sumpless setup...lots of mistakes made! Mistakes Used 4 different types of rock Got only LR... & had lots of hitchhikers...

I have 2 Jeabaos (WP-10 Else Mode & RW-4 Wave Mode). I'm looking for a cheap powerhead battery backup to keep the system alive in case of a power failure, probably just for the WP-10 cos thats pointing to the water surface and moves a lot of water. So far I think the best bet is the Jebao...

My skimmer has been doing an awesome job so far. I've dialed it to skim darker... This is the second time in last few weeks I come home to a wet-watery skim and overflow once. Absolutely no change in the system, params are all perfect. So it ran for a week and cup was 20% full day before...

Last week I found my healthy emerald crab dead for no reason, he was healthy very active and I keep feeding nori once in a while too (molted twice in a few months, but this was no molt) Last few days I noticed my blue leg hermit in the same place but his legs was moving so I guessed he was...

Most of our LFSs have acros under T5s or MHs. For those LED members out there, was wondering if you ever light-acclimate these frags when you buy them or just dip and glue them straight where you want them to sit? I know some start from the bottom and move up slowly... if yes, how many days do...

I've been having these questions for a while, I know they're very different topics... would be great if your answers are numbered. Thanks Is it ok to run a filter sock for 2 weeks? I have 2 drains, one going to ATS and other to sock... I've been doing every week but the sock doesn't get crazy...
