That's good to hear. Has it split yet?

I got a really nice black, long spined urchin that I want to give away. It has a bright orange butt and neon blue highlights around its base. I'm giving it away because its getting too big for my tank and there isn't enough algae in the tank to support it. Rules: 1. Must have a...

Yep. The middle one is yours. The colors have totally changed under my lighting. The turquoise isn't as strong or vibrant as it was while in your tank. I think it looks much more orange as well.

Yeah, those clowns have it made now. Three different anemones to choose from. No one else in their tank. Lots of food. :) And its only gonna get better as the anemones get bigger and multiply.

After the frag swap today I went over to Aquatic Collections to use their band saw and cut up some frags. While I was there I saw a very unique and really good looking anemone--a dark rose colored anemone with a very faint green base and purple tips. The price was just too good to pass up so I...

The good thing about submerging the lights is that they'll be about 15-20% stronger since about that much of light gets reflected off of the surface of the water. That increase though is likely to be negated though by the aforementioned algae buildup. Why does the light have to be...

I already gave the 2 frags I had of this to fellow reefers at the swap meet today. I'm just recording this to keep track. FYI, here is what it looks like: The rules are: 1. Must give me your next available frag if my colony dies 2. Must give away 2 frags through this DBTC before...

I got the following beauty thanks to Mike (sfsuphysics). This is definitely one of the nicer "regular" rose BTAs that I've seen. Its bright pink with a green/turquoise base. Under Mike's LEDs they really popped. Anyways, it seems to be doing pretty well in the anemone prop tank along with...

Paid 20 bucks for GSP once. More recently I bought a $100 LED bulb, plugged it into a cord that was hanging from the ceiling. The hook from the ceiling fell out after I was "testing" how secure it was causing everything to go into the fish tank below. The light was on for about 3 minutes...

with you being 6' 8" and Matt being 6' 9", the steinhart has a pretty good front court going.

I'll help with the set up and be a pit boss. Patrick

Ask Matt Wandell. He has the same thing everywhere in his deep reef tank.

That would be awesome Mike. I've seen your roses and they're quite nice. Are you around either tonight or tomorrow? You're so close its only 5 min to your house.

iCon. Absolutely! Literally and figuratively for sure. Trying to find one is really tough though. They're so rare and they get sold so quickly. I'm using 40 degree optics on my LED bulb so the focused light should be a lot more intense than 60 degree (33% more??). I got a "flame"...

iCon--I tried using some other fixtures but they just didnt seem to work right or look good. I tried the clamp light with the flexible gooseneck but the bulb was too heavy causing it to sag too much I wanted to use a floor lamp with a flexible gooseneck but there wasnt enough room for...

First Test Anemone My long term plan is to propagate high end and rare bubble tip anemones. Like the flame tip rose (or candy corn anemone): the lemon drop anemone and the colorado sunburst anemone I plan on growing the anemones really big by feeding them...

The Importance of Redundancies Last week I learned a lesson that cost me about $100 and shocked the shitake mushroom out of me. I was messing with the height of the bulb over the tank when all of a sudden the screw that held up the cord fell out of the ceiling and everything fell into the...

Well I'm FINALLY getting around to doing a tank blog. Instead of doing a blog for my main display tank, I thought it might be more interesting to do it on the small, 20 gallon tank that I have right next to and plumbed into the display tank. The tank has been up and running for about 2 weeks...

along for the ride. btw, your photography skills are really damn good.

Anyone from SF going? I'll pay for the bridge toll if you drive.
