  2. MAX this weekend

    Hey reef addicts, this weekend is MAX - the Marine Aquarium Expo in Costa Mesa California. Each year, everyone converges on the Orange County Fairgrounds on Saturday and Sunday. I'll be there and would love to meet up with y'all.

    My presentation on Sunday afternoon is "Pests in the Aquarium", sponsored by Seachem. Be sure to be in the presentation area at 1:30 p.m. so you can learn the good guys from the bad guys, and how to remove the vile pests from your tank.

I hadn't noticed them, and if I had I would have assumed it was some white sponge, but he's obviously right. I'm guessing Chromis eggs, but really have no idea. Neat find, right?

  5. OMG - the 400g is leaking
