  1. Houston we have a problem...

    Today I got to work on my sump. Fun times until I hit a snag... ugh... again. OK I don't have pics to post so I will need you guys to put on your imagination hats on. My sump is a 110 gal tank 6 feet long. My original plan was to place the external pump next to the sump making the total length of sump and dart pump about a little less than 7 feet. After measuring it all out it fits perfect inside the stand (without the plumbing parts). After trying to add all the plumbing it will not fit.

To sum up, during the past two months I had to fly out to California to promote MACNA, came back to deal with the livestock in a tank that was 50% full (lagoon-mode), borrowed a 215g from a friend, got really sick that lasted 10 days, took another week to recover from that, moved the livestock into the 215g, took 450 lbs of sand out of the tank and cleaned it out.

    It was then that I reached out to Marineland, ...

  5. Again?! For the second time in two weeks, one coral...

    I bought a very pretty lobophyllia about two weeks ago. I put it in the frag tank where it would get a meal and not be bothered by my dwarf angels. Within a couple of days, it attacked my suncorals. It was obvious because a huge glob of clear jelly was covering about 8 large polyps. I moved the attacking coral further away, and pulled the suncoral out of the tank and repeatedly blew off the infection in a bucket of tank water to help salvage the coral.
