Re: 1/15 HP Current chiller for sale

Do you still have it. Will it work on my 65 gallon? It has gone up to 86 and corals are stressed.

Re: bunch of stuff for sale (coral)

Re: Corals frags for Trade or Sale

Does the Blue Xenia pulse or is it Cespitularia? I want some of this and others. You have quite a list of goodies.

Re: bunch of stuff for sale (coral)

That Cats paw and the frogspawn are growing like crazy. How much for some of Frogspawn the Cats paw and purple polyp birds nest. These are nice and I like the leathers and others. Heck, I like everything.

Cheers,

Tom

Re: Leather help needed

I have some leathers and never had a problem with them. Are you using Phosguard or aluminum based GFO. Might be toxic to them.
Try some carbon in a carbon reactor.

Re: Sea Robbin

Cool, it may be a Bighead sea robin. I would not trust it with any reef fish or inverts when it gets a little larger.

Re: Tide pools

If you can get offshore and dive reefs about 90 feet deep, you can find Angelfish, and other nice reef fish. The problem is catching them quickly and bringing them to the surface. I dove off of Pensacola before and caught reef fish.

Re: What would u like to see your LFS stock.

Try to keep a fair inventory of reef fish and post their adult sizes and tank requirements. A small Fox face might get 8 inches or more. I have one in my tank right now and he is a coral buster when spooked. Separate or identify reef safe fish from non reef safe. Stock some unusal fish from time to ...

Re: Aqurium Update (Full Tank Pictures)

Aquarium and corals look great. Lots of ORA corals. I like the big staghorns also. What is an Efflo? I know it is an SPS coral but don't know anything about these.
