    Fish limit in 120 gal

    Really depends on the types of fish and how comfortable you are with a big stock I would say in a 120g, one yellow tang, 3-5 medium sized fish and 3-5 smaller fish is pretty healthy. But you can go as far as 5-7 medium sized and or smaller fish. It really just depends on the fish, their waste...

    Not sure if piggybacking on a WTB is allowed, but also interested in one near Irvine! Obviously priority to protobb, but Irvine is pretty far from Ontario so just wondering if anyone has them near me!

    acan graft?

    I don’t think this would count as a graft. A graft by definition would mean you put another acan specimen next to it half/half, and it fused into one. from the sound of your situation, just seems like a mutation, or donated zooxanthellae. still super cool

    Asterinas scared of Harlequin Shrimp!

    Probably something pheromonal. im sure the harlequin has some to let potential mates know they are there, and starfish have learned to associate that with death

    Tariffs

    I don’t want to get into politics on a reefing forum because believe me, it’s a one way ticket to bad blood. But I did just notice that the tariffs are in place as of yesterday. Tried to buy a Kamoer dosing pump for my Calc reactor since for 10 years I relied on a acclimation dropper for the...

    84% of the world's coral reefs hit by worst bleaching event on record

    SMH, should have just installed a chiller and kept the parameters in check. Stability is key /s Very sad to hear. I have not had a chance to scuba in my life only snorkel once in Hawaii, but it really saddens to hear coral reefs being wiped out like this. And this isn't just the corals but the...

    Looking for a New Tank... Red Sea?

    I believe they have a eurobrace built in so it's not wholly floating on its own, but people seem very divded on this issue as we can see on this thread even. Ali did mention that there aren't any custom builders indeed. He has to contact someone in Texas. That's good to hear. I do want to...

    Looking for a New Tank... Red Sea?

    Shame the upgrade is gonna be in a few months at the earliest. The prices right now look very good! It seems at the size I want, the real contenders are going to be IM or WaterBox. The Red Sea also has the right price but still a bit wary about the whole quality control issues. Thank you all...

    Looking for a New Tank... Red Sea?

    no I am not, which is why I am doing my research. Did not want to risk that at all, and wasn’t sure if the failures were mostly on G1s and the G2s were okay. I did see one seam issue online but other failure stories were anecdotal so weren’t sure if they were referring to their G1 I did take a...

    Looking for a New Tank... Red Sea?

    So I've had my current custom 125G for close to 12 years now, it's going strong but the dimensions are a bit wonky, the glass is scratched up and let's face it, it's a bit small. So I went to go talk to Ali who I got the tank from 12 years ago, and learned a lot; that custom tanks are pretty...
