    Selling my 50 gallon system

    First, I know I haven't been very active in a while. I've been terribly busy with a lot of life changes (good ones). I'm sorry if it appears bad that I take part in the marketplace while having not been active lately in the forum. I hope it's offset by that I designed the Moderator, Sponsor...

    Egg Laying Clown Pair

    I'm thinking I'd like to sell my egg laying clowns. They were sold to me as regular Occelaris, but as they matured they didn't color up as expected. I think they are unusual in that they are black along their backs and the fade to orange at their bellies. They are different for sure IMO...

    Livestock breakdown.

    I can't believe I am doing this, but I'm getting out of the hobby for now. I have had a lot of good things going on for me in the last couple months, but they have eaten into my time and I need to make some sacrifices. Note: I'm not home until Friday, so the pictures are not too recent and...

    Tank and livestock breakdown

    I can't believe I am doing this, but I'm getting out of the hobby for now. I have had a lot of good things going on for me in the last couple months, but they have eaten into my time and I need to make some sacrifices. I wanted to just downgrade, but this will be best. Note: I'm not home...

    Onyx Percula pair

    I picked these guys up last year from a fellow reefer for $225 last summer. I'm asking $200. They are a pair of Onyx Perucla clowns. Male and female. They both have full, perfectly formed bars and a lots of black. They are some of the nicest onyx I have found and I bought them with plans to...

    50 Gallon(built in overflow) with live rock

    So, last summer I bought this tank and stand new. I stuck a temporary light on it and since then all of my plans for it have taken a back seat to upgrades on my 180 gallon tank. So I think it's best if it goes to someone who wants to set it up and make it awesome. I siliconed a divider in it...

    50 gallon tank for trade

    So, I picked this up a few months back, but I set up another tank and now I want this out of my house. Disclaimer: Despite being new, it does have a scratch and a crack on the front panel. I was going to have it replaced before setting it up. With that in mind, I really don't know how much it...

    Free Clownfish pair

    I've received some free things and some sweet deals from a few others on here, so I thought I'd pay it forward. I have a pair of Ocellaris clowns that I don't have room for anymore, so they're available for free. I'll throw up a pic when I get the chance. PM is the way to go.

    WTB Phytoplankton and Rotifer cultures

    Hey, My Ocellaris pair had their first clutch of eggs. So this is my cue to begin a culture of phyto and rotifers. I doubt I'll be ready for this first batch, but I'd like to be ready for the next few. So... anyone have a culture of phyto and rotifers going? I'd like to buy some and I'd...

    WTB 30 to 40 gallon tank

    I'm looking for a 30 to 40 gallon tank. No cubes(want it to have a slim profile against the wall). Needs a built in overflow(no hang on back style). Would prefer a system already with the sump, stand, lights, etc. However might go for just the tank itself if it was what I'm looking for. If...

    About to pull the trigger on some LED's

    So... part of me feels crazy for doing this, but I'm about 90% positive that I'm going to order me some LED's this week for my 180gallon tank. What I'm looking at? The Orphek pendants. Why? My other choice would be some AI Leds, but I think I'm buying into the their disadvantage being the...

    Bicolor Angelfish

    I'm bummed to sell him because he's one of my favorite fish. However he's began to nip at my, recently introduced, clam's mantle. I hoped it would be safe as he's never nipped at any coral. He's always been a good citizen with my other fish. I thought it would be tough to trap him, but my...

    So Cal specific tank

    I went to the tide pools yesterday and saw some pretty awesome stuff. It got me thinking about what it would take to do a So Cal species tank. Does anyone know someone who has done this? It's not the first time I've thought of the possibility. I was inspired before by the Cabrillo Aquarium...

    Food Chain

    I came home today and saw that one of my cleaner shrimp wasn't at his post. I have two that are generally to the right of my nems. When I surveyed the tank I learned what happened. My pink spotted goby had several long white antenna protruding from his fat mouth. Unbelievable. That guy is...

    Worlds second deadliest poison in our aquarium

    A friend sent me this article. It reminds one to keep a healthy respect(and a little fear) for what we keep in our tanks. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/2011/04/05/worlds-2nd-deadliest-poison-in-an-aquarium-store-near-you/#more-4232

    Anyone using an algae turf scrubber?

    I've done a lot of reading about these and might try implementing one. I've read some mixed reviews, but I suspect that those who didn't have success with it may not have properly set one up. Here is a great FAQ on the matter: http://www.algaescrubber.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=68 It's...

    Plans for a new sump

    I've drawn up a preliminary scale drawing for how I might set up a new sump(not satisfied with my current setup). My tank is 180 gallons. I've designed it to house a filter sock, refugium, skimmer, media reactors, and an algae turf scrubber. That last one is experimental for me. I've read...

    Parameter tracking software for iPad/iPhone

    Has anyone here used any software for an iOS device to track their tanks parameters? I've recently downloaded Aqua Tracker. Although it is visually lacking, it does get the job done. You can list multiple tanks and graph your data. Is there another that you've used or would recommend?
