Hey BAR, As the title suggests, I have two Mexican turbo snails that I'm paying forward. (https://www.liveaquaria.com/product/571/?pcatid=571) Originally purchased three to take care of red turf algae which they demolished. Now they're just bulldozing my frags around. They’re around 1-1.5”...

Hello BAR, Got this green BTA from the most recent BAR swap from @Vincerama2 . It looks like it may be interfering with my RBTAs as they are in the same nem box and they have shrunk a bit. Supporting members only. Free or trade for zoas or chalice.

Paying it forward as that’s how I got this pair also. Originally from @Mr2KiEu. Supporting members only. Please post a photo and give a bit of background of your tank. Female is about 2-2.25”, male is about 1.75-2”. Healthy and aggressive eaters. Have had them in my tank for about 2-3 months...

Just wanted to share my somewhat success story of this chalice (Hollywood stunner? If I remember correctly). Background: this coral was at the free table at the last regional BAR swap, bleached but had all polyps still in tact. The polyps were a bit clear but had green hues, and the whole...

Thought it sounded interesting and wanted to share. Description from their event page below to save you an extra click. https://facebook.com/events/s/nightschool-how-to-design-a-co/2555236964729114/?ti=icl How do you create a digital coral reef so large and complex it will fill a 75-ft...

Need some help ID’ing this. Hammer was doing really well until this morning when I noticed this. Turned off all circulation and sucked off as much as I could with a turkey baster. Decided it’ll be better to cut off that whole branch than have it infect the whole colony or worse other LPS I...

I've never ran into this problem before. I'm at the bottom of my Salinity salt bucket. Mixed up approximately 6 gallons of fresh saltwater from room temp/cold RO water. Currently still mixing with a mixing pump but its extremely cloudy. It's been mixing for about 4 hours now. Will let it mix...

Got a ~ 1.5x1.5” mat of GSP. Free to supporting members. Pick up in San Francisco by the SF Zoo or in Concord by the Veranda/DMV/post office (Must be at 7am).

In an attempt to move my BTA to force my clowns to host it, I accidentally tore its foot, partially. It was still sticky and it was a very tiny tear so I assumed it was ok. The BTA split in the middle overnight. It looked fine the past two days but now it looks like this. Should I be...

PG&E has given a week notice of a scheduled power outage that’s going to last 8-10 hours. In addition to a battery powered air pump, what else would you all recommend? Tank is a 29g biocube. I don’t need a full on generator just yet. When I have a larger aquarium and my own home, I’ll...

Welp, what I thought would never happen to me finally happened. My heater crapped out and heated my tank to 90F.... not sure how long it’s been at that temp but everything is closed and pissed. Lights are shut off, heater was removed and floating ice packs to cool the tank currently. Anyone...

Picked this frag from the recent frag swap. The name was partially smudged so I had no idea what it was. Free to a supporting member. I’m don’t keep SPS nor do I plan on to. Pick up in Hayward (close to AC) tonight or Sunday afternoon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello BAR, I just picked up a couple black foot trochus snails from AC, but I’m a bit confused... they don’t look like a trochus snail at all. They certainly don’t have a black foot and their shells are throwing me off. I watched the worker pull out the snails from the tank. Unless they...

Hello BAR, I finally convinced the gf to let me upgrade tanks! On top of the upgrade, I am relocating from San Francisco to Hayward and thus will be transferring everything within the week. So far the plan is to remove everything from my 6g (live rock, corals, fish) and keep them in separate...

The frag was opened partially once since I got it about 2 weeks ago. It’s shrunken a lot in size and has lost majority of its color and has stayed closed until now. Does it still have a chance? Everything else I’ve gotten, green hammer, green frogspawn, florida ric, rastas, have been...

Hello BAR! I used to be a member of BAR, but rarely partook in any discussions. Couldn't get access to the original email so I'm starting fresh. A little about myself, I started the hobby when I was in middle school back in '05. Started with a 20 gallon, using a fish cycle (please don't hate...
