Wish I'd seen this earlier. Someone's buying it now. Sequoia is just around the corner from me. Thanks for the suggestion!

That's right! Well, I was, until yesterday. Now I'm going to be a "Campus Pastor," starting Saturday. Excited for the new opportunity!

Hi friends, After 15 years of living in the bay area, I'm moving to Illinois at the end of the week. My favorite moment was going to the Steinhart and recognizing Rich Ross while he was inside the aquarium feeding fish! Such a surreal moment. Thank you to everyone for everything. You've...

Phew! Just finished reading it front to back. I'm tired. Congrats on a fantastic looking tank and an even more impressive system. Very clean, very well thought out. I'm impressed. As I was reading, I couldn't believe I was catching up to real time without any life in the tank! I was...

100% in jest and with great respect to all who have replied to help me. Sometimes I struggle in the "BAR Forums" vs "RC Forums" posting (there was a thread that touched on this a while back, which commented on many BAR members withdrawing from the RC forums, and the RC forums becoming more...

Well, we all know those RC people are a bunch of hoodlums and such, and one should only trust comments on the BAR website. (Unless, of course, the RC poster is the honorable Mr. Gresham!) (Or a few others...) :)

So...there are some anemone tentacles floating around in my tank. This is very weird. Anyone know anything about this? The anemone looks very healthy and extended. My water quality is as good as its ever been. I know of no crabs/shrimp/other predators that would pick on it. The only...

I miss Bob. I trusted that guy. He refused to sell me some fish, held other fish for me when they arrived. Top-notch. The fish were great when he was there. Now...I'm much less trusting. (and AAF's coral prices are insane.)

Here's today's batch of Mt. Dew:

Here are some pics to help. The water i sucked out yesterday was much less exciting than the day before. It looks like phyto is confirmed? I slowed down the flow through the UV filter, and I think that helped too. With MH's on Just a flashlight, so you can see how much...

thanks fellas

...poor Ramon.

Yes, but I think the flow through it is on the high side. I'll scale it back when I get home. Important questions though: What immediate risks am I facing for my tank? (eventually the PH can get high, but right now it seems to be slightly low: 8.0-8.1) What should I do? (Besides...
