    Breaking News….. a world first!!!

    Amazing things are happening in the reef world right now. A great friend of mine, Chad Walton was the first ever to captivate hatch frog fish over the past 5 days. He did this in his upstate Ohio home, with no technical gear, other than what can be bought in a LFS. Up until a few weeks ago...

    My very first attempt at breeding clownfish

    So as the title said, this was my very first try at clowns. 14 have made it to the 3 month mark. Surprisingly they are larger than most clowns you see for sale in storefronts here lately. I’m super excited. I now have 5 pairs of potential parents with 2 more pairs waiting on delivery. I...

    Identify these please

    Can anyone identify what’s on my glass. They have showed up every day for almost 2 weeks. I scrape them and they come right back. Very similar design each time. I’m thinking snails.

    RG Complete or similar product … Clown fry pic included

    Is there a local source for this product (RG COMPLETE) or Rotigreen Omega? RG is $35 on Reef Nutrition web page and $40 shipping. Not a logical investment. Trying to green up the water for the week old clowns and their Rotifers. Running low on product and algae vat not growing fast enough...

    Is PAR bleaching a thing?

    I’m running 4 hydra 32’s on a 6’ 180 g. Left settings are 78% and white variations on right are in the 30% range. I got a few frags that were all the way at the bottom of a 300ish par tank and put them half way up my aquascape. They have lost natural color and turned a very light tan, almost...

    Am I correct?

    This white speck showed up in my DT today, stuck to the glass. It’s about 1/16th inch long. Barely visible. The photo is 12 times magnified and that’s the best pic I could get. My guess is berghia nudi. If I’m right I don’t see how. The nudi’s I bought were put in the sump and the only...
