  1. Rock cleanup day

    It has been a while since I last posted, mostly due to lack of time due to work overload.

    Which obviously meant I also had little time to take care of the tank, and it went backwards.

    My 4 mithrax crabs gradually died (of age I believe), leaving me without valonia eaters, which isn't good. One of the mithrax crabs (the hardiest of them, last to die) apparently was of a different species and I caught him eating my zoa colony. Moved him to the sump a month ago, and I ...

  2. If you have ever kept sps under T5 lighting advice needed

    Well it's me again and again I am having questions about keeping millepora under my lighting. I have had these 4 millepora frags for over a month now and I figured I would slowly acclimate them starting from the bottom up to a higher location in the tank. I have all my brighter colored millepora just under halfway up the tank now but I have a more of a greenish colored one that I can't seem to get off the bottom of the tank.

  3. new Additions :)

    My new tank came in earlier in the week! You can tell much more care was taken when building it! Unfortunately, I did not get to keep the other tank to use as a sump

    Today I gathered up all my frags I really did not want and took them to the LFS, I picked up some frozen food, cash and a frag of an unknown sps that is a yellow green (more yellow)


    I then went to the other LFS to grab sand ...

  4. Midnight's 300g Build

    It's been a very long time since I have updated, so this is well over due.

    First things first, due to all of Melev's tank troubles I have had to work with Marineland in resolving some possible issues. As you know I was mimicking Melev's tank design but using my own dimensions. Kevin over at Marineland has been working very hard with me to ensure that all will be ok.

    I did give thoughts about scrapping the whole big tank idea, But things just didn't seem proportional. ...
  5. Sites to see in Vegas?

    Looks like I'm going to be spending a week in Vegas at Light Fair next month. I'll have a couple evenings free while I'm there and wondered if there were any reef related sites to see or shops to check out while I'm there? Not really interested in gambling or shows.
    Thanks.
