Dear BAR folks - it's been forever since I've been involved with the club...but the OG might remember me and my "Crabby's Elite 210" tank that was taken down in spring 2018 before I moved overseas. (I'm sure there are pictures of the tank set up somewhere on the forum). The tank, which is 30"...

Anyone interested in about 5 big buckets of very dead base rock? This rock was last in a tank about 3 years ago, then sat out in the sun for a year before being stored dry in buckets. There are some large pieces and some smaller ones. Rock was used for seascaping a 210 gallon tank. I suggest...

Hi Folks, Sorry for not posting earlier, but this Sunday is Discovery Day at the Romberg Tiburon Center. Discovery Day is our annual open house, and in addition to seeing my reef tank, you can also learn about the science being done in each of the research laboratories. Great for kids...

The 240G coral flat at RTC now has 3 Stray Light Optical Light Emitting Plasma lights hanging over it, and thanks to Dave (Houser) the lights are on a nice intensity cycle that ramps from minimum to maximum output over 4.5h, and then back to minimum in another 4.5 h (9h total light cycle)...

To those of you who brought coral to RTC in July: Last week I discovered a huge infestation of monti eating nudibranchs in the large coral flat at RTC. The only corals in there came from my display and from you. It could be that my display still has the pesky buggers, though I haven't...

During the question/answer session at the Fenner talk, I mentioned the recent paper on relative impacts of direct impacts of human activities through overfishing and habitat modification vs. indirect impacts of human activities through climate change on the health of Hawaiian coral reefs in the...

Has anyone tried to rid their tank of monti eating nudibranchs using the potassium permanganate treatment that Eric Borneman wrote about here? http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-09/eb/index.php I've lost a couple of monti frags already and they are munching on some, but not all of the...

I've been meaning to start a thread for my home aquarium - a JBJ 12 gallon DX nano cube that I started in early 2007. I ran the tank stock for several years. Then I added a korralin 3 pump for circulation. And last week I changed the lights from PC to LED using a kit from RapidLED...

I've been running 400W 20K SE bulbs (radium) on my display tank at RTC. To encourage faster coral growth in all of the teeny GreenMarine frags I've been adding I'm thinking about switching to a lower kelvin bulb and adding supplemental LED actinic lighting for color. At present the bulbs are...

While working under the tank today I hit the inflow of my Korallin C1502 Calcium reactor and broke one of the POS fittings. It's the second time I broke it, and it broke again exactly where I glued it. The fittings are replaceable, but at about $65 from marine depot - a pretty high price tag...

Last March I acquired Elite's 210 gallon tank to use as a public display aquarium at the Romberg Tiburon Center (http://rtc.sfsu.edu). This tank is 30" wide, 54" long, and 30" deep, and fits well in the space available. Starting this week I'm going to be setting up the tank, so am starting a...
