Are these still available? I mostly have softies and LPS but wouldn't mind trying some hardy SPS if you don't mind giving them to a newer reefer.

Your tank looks amazing! Do your corals sting each other, being so close?

What on earth is that giant sea cucumber looking thing? Is it a sea cucumber?

OMG I don't really need clothes but it turns out that I need this

Beginner here, but when my new tank started to show dinos I threw in a bunch of pods and turned the lights off for a few days. Problem solved. I don't know how a blackout would affect your macroalgae but pods are probably a good idea anyway since your tanks is so new. You said east bay, if you...

I did a lot of manual removal and picked up a turbo snail to help with the hair algae. Things are looking better but not perfect yet: And here's a pic of my cleaner shrimp going straight for my dead skin when I let the snail go.

Oooh this is a great list, thank you! I'll have to start bucket shopping. I'll rent a Uhaul or something, I don't think my Camry is going to cut it. @MichaelB , yes, I'm still moving Oakland to Oakland, but the floor may not be done on my new house until the 12th unfortunately. The timing...

I can do whenever is needed!

Hi everyone, I'm hoping to move the fish on the weekend of May 17th-18th. Would people be available then? I can do anytime at all. What kind of supplies do I need? Other than I assume lots of buckets? Containers for any corals that come loose?

Possibly pending

I have 2-3 lettuce sea slugs that I'm making available. These slugs use the chlorophyll they get from bryopsis to photosynthesize, and are really neat. A good tank for them contains bryopsis to eat and some sort of protection to keep them from getting sucked into the powerheads/filter intakes...

Welcome! What kinds of corals do you have?

Huh, that's an interesting gizmo! I usually do all my manual removal/scrubbing first and only then start siphoning. Then I use a net to catch all the drifting stuff that didn't get siphoned...

Well, I still have algae, as I mentioned in another thread. On the plus side, my clownfish are sure enjoying the situation, lolol.

So you think definitely hair algae and not bryopsis? Thanks!
