Is that kind of marriage even legal in this state?! ;) I did not know that BAYMAC has such a short history. This weekend will be my first aquarium conference (I entered the hobby in the fall) and I thought that I was going to walk into a tradition spanning generations of conference goers...

Anymore splits available? Thanks!

What kind of Ricordia are they? I'm maintaining a rough Indo-Pacific theme for my tank, and I think most Ricordias in aquariums are the Florida species. They are certainly beautiful. I'm also more than happy to give them to someone who needs it more than I do. They're yours, Ricordia or...

I have two Trochus snails that I would like to give new homes and I'll be coming to BayMAC this Saturday. Five algae-eating/pooping macines seems excessive for a 15g fishless nano, so two are up for adoption. I enjoy watching them, especially when they're on the glass where I can see their...

Here are the goodies I got from the frag swap, resting in my quarantine bucket! I ended up with three frogspawns somehow. It was my first swap and I was taken off-guard how quickly 2 or 3 minutes can fly by, so I think I was just grabbing something before I got booted out of the room. I...

Welcome! I'm not too far south of Rockridge so we're almost neighbors.

I got these from my first frag swap: 3 frogspawns, one of which looks purplish 2 zoanthids, a "copper" one, and a green one with a fancy carcinogenic name My first acanthastrea, red/orange with white margins I also picked up my first DBTC frag, a hairy mushroom from GDawson. I'll...

Have you seen this link? http://bb.wetwebmedia.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=181 According to the link, there's a lot of variation within a single species so they might all be the same. The article identifies at least three species that are all similar yet can vary quite a bit. It might not...

gerbilbox..."gerbil" because my best friend bestowed me the nickname by accident to describe my hair cut many years ago. I'm unsure where "box" came from, but it's a variation to register for a site because someone else had stolen "gerbil" as a user name. My avatar: I am a polyp. No, it's a...

Not to be too picky, but I offered to help with clean up. I can't get there that early for setup. Thanks :)

You're just called me a freak :P

I will not be robbed of my right to clean up after other people!

My name disappeared from the clean up list, which I still can do.

I took more pictures this evening: http://s1114.photobucket.com/albums/k539/gerbilbox/Red%20Macro%20Algae/ It's so dense now that it was hard to get a good angle, but I hope that it's enough. I can supply more pictures if needed. Thanks!

Yup, there's flow all over the tank, not just the surface. The hammer and plate tentacles wave around a good amount. Granted, I'm new to the hobby so I don't have prior experience informing me what adequate flow looks like, but it seems sufficient. The inherent design of the HOB filter limits my...

Was there a reef tank on campus when you or your son was on campus? Thanks everyone for the comments. I feel somewhat awkward now that I've done with a lot of major tweaking and I'm just waiting until I add something new. It just seems odd that most of what I'm doing for the past several...

That's an excellent point. Someone at Nano-Reefs said that he has the same algae and it hasn't been a problem, but that's not assuring since I still don't know what it is. I've posted this to few forums and no one knows what it is, but I'll keep trying and post any updates. Any friend of a...

Sure Mitch. Remind me in a month or two when it grows out more and I'll let you know if I'm ready to prune it.

What is this algae? Its tissue seems pretty touch but it's not calcified, at least not significantly. There are some white spots on it, as you can see, and it adheres strongly on live rock. I got it a month ago at Green Marine when Shawn threw it in with some Trochus snails I bought, but he...

Hello everyone! I'm new to reef keeping even though I've been familiar with a lot of the marine invertebrates and their biology for many years, but only occurred to me recently to start my first reef tank. I understand that the husbandry side is a completely different beast but I've been having...
