I’m curious how everyone is managing electricity costs, especially people with larger/multiple tanks? The hobby is getting more expensive in CA with PG&E recently increasing rates and planning another hike in a few months. I’ve cut back my lighting schedule and probably plan on shutting down...

Please let me know.

I recently got a small achilles tang (3-4 inches) and powder blue (~3 inches), both of which were in QT for 2 weeks. The entire time in QT, they got along fine and didn't show any aggression. After QT was over, I transferred them at the same time to my 150g display and they got along fine for...

Im out of town right now and noticed on camera that my fish are not swimming. My family said most of them seem to be dead or laying on the sand. Could someone swing by my place in Sunnyvale and help take a look and see what’s wrong?

Just curious if any other BAR members are going and what is their preferred method of transportation. I've only been to the NY pre-COVID so quite excited to see how this one is.

If anyone in the Sunnyvale area has a light I can borrow for a week or so, that would be greatly appreciated. Just need it for a frag tank as mine stopped working.

I’ll be taking a work trip down to LA and wanted to stop by some LFS. Are there any must see places? I know LAX and Vivid are down there. Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks.

Have a bunch of 0.5-1 inch unmounted frags of The Fuzz available. Pick up in Sunnyvale. Pic of mother colony:

Since my vacation in Sep, my tank seems to be a bit off. I’ve been having issues with my acans and now I’m dealing with sudden turf algae and bryopsis. Not sure if it’s my nutrients as my nitrates are 2 while phosphates are 0.15 (a bit high but I generally have been around there). Correct me...

The picasso clowns in my frag tank laid eggs and I don't have the resources to try raising them. If anyone on BAR has a set up and would like to try, happy to net the fry once they hatch.

I recently came back from vacation and noticed that all my acans are shrunken and a few have receded, exposing skeleton. Meanwhile all my sps and other lps (euphyllia, Goni, and trachys) are open and happy. What could be causing it? I just did a 30% water change and am running carbon...

Is anyone handy with solar or an electrician that can help me? I built a DIY solar generator based on a few builds I saw online. While it works, I think I have a vampiric draw as the battery will whittle down despite little use.

Got some worms from Neptune but my fish have no interest. Located in Sunnyvale.

Do you spread the dose for both over 24 hours (using the Apex DOS function)? Or do you dose separately, dosing alk the first 12 hours and calcium the last 12 hours of the day? I'm a bit concerned about precipitation even though I dose directly into a small pump. I heard it may be better to...

I have 2 pencil urchins and a 3x3 maze coral. Pick up in Sunnyvale

I've tried getting rid of aiptasia with F-aiptasia, aiptasia-x, and lemon juice but they seem to keep coming back. For those of you who have rid their tanks of aiptasia, what did you do? I would like to try berghia but I have 3 wrasses and they would likely end up as a meal. Has anyone tried...

Is there anyone that offers tank sitting services? I plan on taking vacation and would like someone to swing by to check on the tank. I checked with Neptune and it doesn't appear they offer. I'm located near SJ.
