    protein skimmer concept question

    Long time reef keeper, but have never really used a protein skimmer. Now back in the hobby after being out and I think I have my new skimmer tuned up....it is producing about 3/4 cup per day of green-tea colored skimmate. The real (newbie) question is...I assume you replace this 3/4 cup with...

    Local vendors with black worms or tubifex worms

    Does anyone know for sure if any of our local sponsors sell black worms or tubifex (sp?) worms?

    Agonizing over fish selection for new Nuvo 16g

    I've been reefing for about 10 years...I've never had this much trouble deciding on what to put in a tank! I have a new 16g at the office (innovative marine Nuvo nano 16). I can't decide on the master stocking list, here are a few thoughts & maybe's... Generally looking for active swimmers...

    when should i go to Corpus?

    I'm planning on taking my son to Corpus and hoping to look in some tidal pools/inland flats. Would there be a big difference between going in early-mid March v. mid-late April as far as what I am going to see? Saragassum? TIA. -mike c

    Interesting new coral combo, makes you think...

    Not being a PhD level coraligist (?), I am nevertheless intrigued by this little pick up from City Pets...for many reasons... 1. I've had reef tanks for about 8 years, and these are the first really yellow zoa's I have seen, if you don't count those whispy hairlike ones. 2. I can't identify the...

    To those that have Acan (lord) experience...

    I know there has been some larger discussions on color in Acan lords. I'm trying to update my knowledge and wondering if anyone local has some good experience. More than any other coral, Acan's always look awesome in the store and then loose their pop in my home tank. I always tend to put mine...

    A nice small cleaning magnet?

    Just changed over to an 8 gallon tank. This is my smallest yet. Any input on the best magnet for little tanks? (there's not a lot of room in there). I've heard maybe a "two little fishies"...anyone with experience or know a local sponsor who carries them?

    Anyone seen the Nuvo 8 aquarium at a local store?

    I had seen the Nuvo 8 at TnT but they sold all of theirs. Has anyone seen one at a local store? I'm looking to get one today!

    Funnny/Interesting Pics

    With the new website and storage space for pictures, I thought I'd take advantage and post a few things... The first pic is of a little tiny aiptasia eating filefish I bought from TnT. He was only about as big as a dime when I bought him (almost missed him when looking in the tank), and has a...

    Where do I become a member?

    I want to thank everyone who has put so much into the new website. It will take a little getting used to, but it looks great. I have let my membership lapse on and off several times in the past...now I am having a hard time finding where to sign up. I'm sure it's written down some where but...

    Can you "wash" live rock?

    I have had SW tanks for about 10 years, so I'm not a noobie, but there is still a lot I don't understand. I moved my 33 gal tank this summer. It was left dry for a few hours and as a result I think I had a die off of a lot of the coraline/small stuff. I had an outbreak of what appeared to be...

    experiences with Berg. Nudi's?

    Has anyone had any experience with them? If so, I'd like to hear about it. Additionally... 1. do marsh members ever have ones that need to be passed around to keep a fresh food supply (like sea hare's after all the algae is gone)? 2. do any local stores have them either regularly, or, ever?

    Thanks to T&T (sponsor) and MARSH members!

    I just wanted to send a public thanks to the guys at T&T, and also the members of MARSH. I had to move my tank twice this summer and I had a lot of help from MARSH members, Tektike and others (I'm not good with names, sorry, but you know who you are). I've recently had a lot of problems with die...
