    My poor old purple tang.

    As some of you know, I'm not able to keep my 150 any longer because I'm moving my office to my home, which is too small for a tank this big. I think I've got a seller for it from the forum here, and everything but the chiller's been sold (I think!). What is left is a poor, middle aged purple...

    Tank setup selling advice needed

    In about a year or so, I'll probably be forced to sell my 150. I have no room for it in my home and my offices will be downsized or eliminated and I'll work out of my home or a Starbucks. I would like opinions as to whether I can sell it to someone complete or if I will be forced to sell it off...

    Tank Vid

    Here's a five minute video of my tank I just shot. Be sure to click the "high resolution" link on the You Tube page to see it in all its glory! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKqTtwe9YIE

    Next Hurricane Plan of Action

    My electricity at my office was restored yesterday afternoon. Five days without power, yet I lost no fish or corals in my 150 reef setup. What saved me was a buddy loaning me two 12 volt deep-cycle marine batteries and an AC inverter. I plugged a Maxi-jet 1200 with a OceanFlo mod kit 1200...

    Sony HDR-SR11 tank video

    Just got a new camcorder and thought I'd take some video of my tank to show everyone all the anthelia I've got... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FakoLorgbac Do you think adding some peppermint shrimp to the tank might clean this up eventually? :)

    White Patch/Purple Tang

    My purple tang has a dime-sized white patch on him today, just below his driver's side fin. It's not like something on the surface of his body. It's more like a complete lack of pigment. Anyone seen this before? How should I treat it?

    Fragging giant toadstool leather

    I have a toadstool leather that has been in one tank of mine or another for well over 10 years. The thing is massive ... at least 15 inches tall and probably 4-5 inches across. Right now, its toadstool top is sitting at the water line. Instead of moving it to the bottom of the tank and...

    Finger leather question

    I have a finger leather that I purchased about three weeks ago. It has opened up quite a bit and turned from dark green to a light yellow when my MH's are on during the day. It's been doing this each day since I bought it. This softie is at the bottom of my tank and not too close to the MH's...

    Anthelia

    Well, it took seven stinking hours (and I mean stinking!) to remove all the rock from my 150 and scrub off the anthelia off the rocks. This nuisance coral is far harder to remove than pulsing xenia. The stuff also smells to high heaven. Let me warn any of you that have this stuff in your tank...

    What eats anthelia?

    I have a 150 gallon tank that has been simply overtaken by anthelia. :mad: I am at the point where I can no longer take out the rocks and scrub them again. I've done it a bunch of times and this stuff comes right back. It was a hitchhiker on a piece of rock I bought from a friend, and looked...

    Interior Designer Needed

    My wife and I are renovating our living room and dining room in the Houston Heights and need a professional to help us select paint, rugs, furniture, blinds, etc. If you know anyone who does this for a living (and they're good at what they do) please send them my way!

    Algae Magnet Recommendation

    I'm planning to mount my powerheads on algae magnets and ditch the acrylic brackets that I've been using (they have all broken over time due to the on and off pulsing of the wavemaker). My glass is 1/2 inch thick. I don't need anything fancy, nor do I need anything that floats because I'm not...

    power head making a racket

    I have four Maxi-Jet 1200's in my tank on a wavemaker power strip. One of the power heads has developed a rattle when it comes on and makes a real racket. Before I replace it, should I try to replace the impeller? Do they even make replacement parts for these little power heads?

    Yikes! Tank crash ahead???

    Just a week after my 150 was moved across town, my toadstool leather and finger leathers are dying... black and stinky (I've removed the rotting corpses, btw... but some are turning into mush and can't be removed easily). Fish seem ok, and my ammonia is at 2 ppm right now, which isn't high, but...

    Aquarium Environment ROCKS!

    This company moved my 150 today. They were careful, attentive, and by far the least expensive tank move price I was quoted. $450. Everyone else was $800 or far more. I highly recommend them.
