Maybe actually put a fish in the tank... but then I have to feed it, so I dunno... that one is up in the air. Clean out a bunch of stuff I have from the days of me being a reef child. Although I did move all the glass panels from my 200 into my greenhouse just to get them out of the way, and...

Find a guy with 1 arm and sell it to him!

Yeah, there's a reason why all these "designer" clownfish started popping up in the hobby, because breeding standard clownfish species simply wasn't profitable except at certain scales and even then there was a reason why tank bred/raised were 2-3x the cost of wild. But all those inbred mutants...

I wouldn't be surprised if the brown is just impurities (I would never trust Amazon listing details as accurate) and you probably could just filter them out by pushing them through a sediment filter. But I'm a known cheap ass who isn't too afraid to do things to save a buck :D

Honestly, don't think I can answer that, mostly purchasing comes in big chunks, i.e. new filters & resin for RO/DI, a good price on salt that you stock up on, buying large bulk amounts of regents for supplements, and jumping back into the wayback machine things like replacement bulbs were...

tnutz.com and have them cut for you.... because not everyone has spare Al. extrusion sitting around in their garage

Man has it already been 20 years since the first Vortech pump? Damn I guess it has, I remember having the "gen 1" pumps, where you could see the actual metal magnet since it only had some clear coat over it or something, and that absolutely rusted away and bulged in no time, they were nice...

That's nuts, based on the picture shown it definitely reminded me of the artificially dyed leathers I used to see back in the day.

Neptune used to sell it back in the day I think. Not sure if they still do.

I think getting "burned" (not really) way back early on has helped save me from spending too much money on any one piece of livestock. Way back when there was a local show, I want to say it was BAYMAC, I bought a coral from a vendor that looked fantastic, green, blue, purple, and it was a...

Some evening blue fiesta style lighting with a macro lens. 5 of these went out into the wild, not nearly this big mind you. Does not look anywhere as dark blue as the OP photo, never has... even when I got it :)

I assume you're using LEDs for your lights? If so that "white" light actually has a very healthy dose of blue in the 460nm range or so, which is one of those wavelengths that will make certain coral proteins fluoresce which is probably where the green is coming from, the "purple" probably is...

Po-ta-TOE/Po-TA-toe

I remember the day Hawaii banned exports of fish for the hobby, because the price instantly shot up on everything, stock that cost a business $10 the day before that they were selling for $20, now had $300 price tags on it, hell they didn't even know how much they'd cost. The greed was so...

I dunno how the scale works for this, like what does 10 mean on coral growing skill? If you put the most difficult acropora in a detritus filled nitrate magnet use tap water with prime as your source of water type of tank? Or is simply means how fast you are able to grow corals? Which in...

If you are not the recipient I apologize was trying to piece together who got one based on the picture of the log that was sitting on the DBTC table. Two more got taken, or put in the frag swap, either way, it's cool. Glad I can keep the chain going, for someone who simply threw everything...

'twas nice seen everyone again, sorry if I didn't say hi and talk personally with everyone I knew, there was a lot going on, and a ton of new faces I did not know, and it was relaxing just sitting back and not doing anything for once. Met a few new (new to me) members at the table I was at...
