Cool, thanks! I've seen 150w and 250w sockets for sale and assumed there was a difference.

I've got a 3x150w Hamilton MH fixture, and I'm thinking of upgrading to 250w lighting. Besides the new balasts and sockets, is there anything else I'll need to swap out? Would I have to upgrade the wiring in the fixture as well?

Wow, that thing is sweet.

I screwed up and another coral fell on my Oregon Tort frag and killed it. I'm looking for a new frag, preferably 1"+. I can pay cash or I can trade other SPS. Let me know what you've got.

Nice tanks, folks. Here's mine from a couple of weeks ago.

I've been digging really thin-branched acros lately. I've got a few in my tank, who else has some? Red Dragon Hawkins echinata Mr. Pacman A random maricultured coral I picked up recently.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll siphon a bunch of the water out, and then drain the rest. There is an extra bulkhead in the bottom of the tank in the overflow box that I'm not using, so hopefully I can take that one out easier than dismantling the plumbed bulkheads. Now that I've learned my lesson...

My new wrasse somehow made it through the grate and is now in my overflow box. I can't reach the box very easily. Any ideas how to get it out? The only thing I can think of is unhooking the plumbing from my sump and just draining the box.

Sorry, I don't have much time to go to any of the meetings.

Everything is still left.

Bump!

It looks like a Mycedium coral, which are sometimes lumped in with the chalices in the hobby. I don't know if your variety has a specific hobby name.

PM's replied. Kyle, the Hawkins frag is still really small, so I won't be fragging it for a while.

I'm looking for some decent sized squamosa and maxima clams, preferably 4" or bigger. I'll drive a little ways, but I'd prefer someone in the IE. I can pay cash, or I can trade various SPS. Let me know what you've got!

Great looking tank!

Yeah, if it's not happy in its current spot, it will try to move itself by pumping its shells quickly and 'hopping' or 'scooting' to a new place. If it's on the rock, it can fall over, so you need to find a secure place for it. What does the stuff the clam left look like? Clams secure...

I had some peppermint shrimp that ate all my yellow polyps, but they never really touched zoas or other palys. They would also steal mysis or other food that I'd fed to LPS.

Cool photos. I really like that last shot of the anemone, the slime gives it a really interesting texture.
