Was going to look at FW shrimp also. Their antics are cool to watch. There is a FW shop near me I was going to check out today or tomorrow.

Well I certainly have the nems (too many). Will get on the other.

Request from an amazing supporter of the environment, kids, and my classroom aquariums. (Also super cool - he worked on sequencing three chromosomes during the Human Genome Project.) His wife runs a summer camp in Livermore for kids with hand/limb differences and their theme is Underwater. He...

Women's Slim Fit Tee (BAR Back) - Ice Blue. Ahh - going back I see it specifies it is lightweight - totally missed that. The pic with an actual human is a dark color shirt and looked great. If people are like me and wear their BAR shirt when working in tank and are short, you know it will get...

Ladies - words of warning regarding the women’s shirt style: The comments said it runs small and to buy up a size or two and apparently I only went up one size so I hope it doesn’t shrink much. Also, it did not mention that the ice blue color (or possibly all) is pretty much see-through...

Check your local requirements. For us, it was 36" total at roof peak, so 18" per side. No min distance between panels and they could go as close to the edge as desired except not abutting gutters and with enough access for installation/maintenance (minimal). The exception is the part of the roof...

Wow - what a great swap this will be. Would love to come and hang out with old and new members but school ends Friday and I am going camping. Catch you all later - have fun!

I was firm on having the same company handle overdue new roof (plus flat roof on an old addition room altered to have a slant) + solar + elec panel upgrade on 70-yr-old house + batteries so there would be no issues of who is responsible should there be a leak or something. I also wanted a...

If you end up taking out a loan of some sort to purchase, be sure to see if it would affect your home cost basis/reassessment.

Are your drains blocked from entry of wayward snails or cukes? Once, just before I was going out of town a massive trochus I had never seen in the tank wedged itself deep down my main drain. Emergency drain was blasting and taking care of it, but yikes. Added netting over weir and overflow, but...

Sadly, I think not. It had two polyps that were barely hanging on but I think it is no longer alive. That is a very cool coral.

Glad to hear it was great! I need to get my tanks in order. Been difficult few years at school but I'm glad I have stuck it out. I will check out swap threads to see what I missed!

HEY HEY! Longtime sadly inactive member here, but I have reef tanks in my middle school science classroom in the East Bay. Hard to believe, but coming up on 10th classroom tank anniversary this month. Would love to hear how it is going for you. Huge commitment to have a tank in a school with so...

Bumping up. Students have been taking pretty good care of this tank (mostly feeding too much) and it is overcrowded with BTA splits. If you have a stable, suitable tank and can pick up in Pleasant Hill (near Concord), we have nems on tank walls ready to be rehomed. They all have stringy...

True! Its former mate would bite and draw blood and ram off newly mounted frags. I’m a big fan of percula and ocellaris!

BTA still on tank wall, so easy to remove (aside from a grumpy old maroon clown who will head butt me with surprising force). If anyone has a tank ready for a nem, read the first post of this thread and sign up for it. Located in Pleasant Hill, near Concord/Walnut Creek. Bonus: you may feed our...

Turns out I have a 5th green BTA currently attached to the back wall of our nem tank, so easy to remove! Didn't have much time to catch up, but I can't determine the status of tanks of @Srt4eric @Beanju @Fire_Reefer (on the request list) from tank journals. Please be sure your tank is ready to...

Trying to get my tanks in good shape when I can find the time. Currently have four of the BTA hosting two separate clowns and a porcelain crab. The maroon tries to hog all of them, though. They are getting large and will likely split soon. They are nice and green viewed from above (can't tell in...

Sorry to hear of your tank troubles! "Tanks in peril" sums it up. My similar issues started a few years ago and I've been dragging the tanks along as best I can, which is not great at all. I haven't had my Apex online reliably since Covid distance learning year, and during this past school year...

@jstiltne How's the tank managing during summer cleaning at the school? (My tanks are not in great shape but made it through cleaning during heat wave with no issues - whew!) Your new classroom worked out well for you and tank? Staying put, do you think? Any interest in a calcium reactor...
