Man I feel like my ears are burning...
Well gang I hate to say it but after 6 months of trying to fight my hair algae and now bryopsis algae I'm throwing in the towel and tearing the tank...
Bryce I don't think it would be needed the way your tank is now. With two fish and the surface agitation you're getting from the HOB filter that...
Man that is funny. I'm sharing that with people at work.
Amen. I used a hydrometer when starting out in this hobby and everything seemed fine until one day I started noticing my corals weren't opening like...
Congrats! It's normal for MH's to take a second to "fire" and then buzz for a second. And yes they are BRIGHT! ;D As for the actinics they need to...
My 180 is a little over two years old and a lot of the rock, sand and fish came out of my 55 gallon which I had set up for 2 or so years.
Most people run their fuge on the opposite schedule from their lights. This should keep the algae from going assexual and dieing off. If you leave...

Wanting to know if anyone uses a lighthouse controller on here. If so what lights are you running off of the power strip. I bought Otty's off of him...
SPS example would be the acropora you're talking about. LPS example would be a frogspawn or hammer coral.
Take a hammer and break up the ones you have. That's likely what the fish store is doing anyhow. no sense in spending more money for new ones and...
Well it's official, I owe the tax man. :( Stupid box was right. Now I have to pay my people to. :( Guess I know the box is right for next year...
I must have something messed up then because I own a home (well borrow it from the bank for a small monthly fee) I'm thinking I just missed something...
Hey Mike as an employer would you think my employer isn't withholding enough money if I'm claiming married and no withholdings during the year?...
You know Otty I had a teacher in high school tell me drug dealers are the only one's that get rich. I think he was on to something.
Man this is the first time I've owed taxes at the end of the year since I've been married. Figured I'd make this a place to vent about the cost of...
