    What eats Zoas?

    I had another starfish at one point that loved to chow down on asterinas. Red Fromia, I think? As for the Zoas. . .Regal Angelfish seem to do the trick from past experience. They may nip at other LPS (or Clams) also.

    I might be able to meet up around lunchtime, if someone could drive me back to my car at the end.

    LFS Bus Tour / *FREE to Everyone / $2500+ Raffle

    I am super disappointed, but I can’t go today. You can give my seat to someone else if there was a waiting list. :cry: Was really looking forward to this.

    What is "show size"

    Thanks for the mentions! "The Clam", my Oregon Tort colony, and my large Cali Tort (really more of a stag) colony are getting pretty mature. ;) Me, not quite as mature. 🤪

    Ditching Muriatic acid

    We use Muriatic Acid all the time for our swimming pool. . .not for the reef tank unless I am diluting it to clean calcium buildup from something.

    Anyone have Weld-On 40 that I could buy/borrow?

    Thanks to all the offers for help! Cody helped me get it fixed up Wed evening. Planning to put the reactor back online later tonight to give the glue a good 48 hours to cure. In the meantime I discovered a fun fact - it took about 14 ounces of two part per day to keep alkalinity stable in my...

    Anyone have Weld-On 40 that I could buy/borrow?

    I'll take advantage of Cody's acrylic kung-fu. Will let everyone know if the repair is successful in case anyone else runs into the same issue. Photos:

    Anyone have Weld-On 40 that I could buy/borrow?

    Or is there somewhere in Houston that carries it? The union on my GEO calcium reactor just disconnected from the lid and I need to glue it back in place. Manually dosing two part for my Ca/Alk demand will get old really fast. Also, I need to get it running again and stabilized before I...

    frag swap and pool party

    Clarification on my post since some folks got excited and sent me PMs - not everything in the list of corals I am bringing will be available for $5 or $10. Some will be more. Some really ugly frags might even be less. But I will probably have at least 20 frags of various things that will be...

    frag swap and pool party

    I'm still planning to try to make it, but will be there about 12:30 at the earliest. Need to clear out my frag tank, so will be bringing lots of $5 and $10 SPS frags. Also some larger colonies of both acropora and montipora. Including: Ancient Table Acropora (lime green/purple polyps)...

    frag swap and pool party

    Ugh. Talked with my wife/events coordinator. I have to go pick up my daughter from camp in Crockett, TX on the 29th. Not sure if the 22nd would still be an option?

    The 11 year itch - Time to upgrade the 120?

    The tank is about 300 Gal. From my experience, Regal angels LOVE to eat Zoanthids. I don't really have any LPS, but anything meaty is probably a risk. I did have an issue with the regal picking on the clam. He got banished for a few months and hasn't bothered it since I put him back. If a...

    The 11 year itch - Time to upgrade the 120?

    Adding a photo from March 7th as I have been messing with the tank lately and things are. . .different than they were 6 weeks ago.

    GEO818 Conversion

    Very nice. My 6x24 Geo reactor still has the sloppy plumbing with vinyl tubing, and the union on top of the lid is wearing out. So I may have to do something similar in the near future.
