    Are the coral reefs really dying??

    How are we supposed to know what to believe any more? It wasn't that long ago I was watching a documentary on how the world's reefs were dying due to global warming. Now I see this article that the Great Barrier Reef has the highest growth rate in recorded history? Ugh...

    ICP-analysis testing is a joke

    Is it just me or has anybody else realized that the way ICP reports their test results now is a total crap show? It's been about a year since I sent in for an analysis and I just got my test results back a couple weeks ago. Some results now are reported in parts per billion (ppb) and some in...

    What a cute little gem....NOT

    My gem has grown into a beast. This fish is 7" and was very beautiful. Right up until I caught it ripping the tentacles off of my elegance. As much as I like him, I like my elegance more. So he is going to the 20g QT until next year when I get my other tank set up. Such a nice display fish...

    My 14" elegance

    Must be a full moon or something. The elegance is HUGE today. My favorite coral, along with my favorite fish...my fowleri. Makes me wish I had a better camera. These pictures just don't do it.

    Wow this nem is huge!!

    I had no idea Sherman anemones could get this big. I just measured this one. It is over 16" across! That clown sticking his head out is about 3" long for reference.

    My scare with velvet and treatment with chloroquine phosphate

    Anybody that knows me knows that I am a freak when it comes to quarantine. I quarantine everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Fish and inverts of course, but I also QT live rock, corals, and even chaeto. My display is so big with so many big fish that there is no conceivable way to get them all...

    why can't I upload pictures now?

    Is the website experiencing difficulties? I am trying to upload a picture, like I've done many times before, but I am getting an error message that states "the image is not a valid file type." I've tried it on two different computers so I'm confident its not that. I even went to a picture...

    Has anybody seen this new "my batch" from Red Sea?

    I have been using Red Sea Coral Pro for years but always wondered what was in it? I'm sure it's just a marketing ploy but for someone like me who is anal about what goes in his tank, I thought it was kind of cool. Just type in the batch number on your salt and you get back an analysis on the...

    Thanks for picking my tank for October TOTM winner

    I just wanted to say thanks to Marsh for choosing my tank for the October TOTM. There were a lot of really nice tanks on here this month so I feel very honored. When I set this tank up a few years ago, I didn’t know much about saltwater tanks and I had never heard of Marsh. But over the...

    Baby torch corals?

    I've been watching these little things for a month or two thinking they were some kind of a pest growing on my rocks. They started as tiny neon green specs about the size of a pea. The first one, I tried to pick off thinking it was a nudibranch. Now that they have gotten bigger, they are baby...

    If anybody gets a PM from "the Diesel"...

    Just a heads up to everybody. I talked to Ben "Diesel" yesterday and he told me that someone signed up on Marsh 2 days ago with the screen name "the Diesel" and even stole his original avatar with the cross on it. You can check the members list for yourself and see. Now it won't matter much...

    Big shout out to Seachem for their donation

    I was speaking to the Coral Restoration Foundation today about the $607.29 donation check that I was sending them for the "make Diesel a sponsor" gofundme that we did recently. I was informed that Seachem was matching all donations to CRF thru the end of this year up to a maximum of $10,000...

    The official "make Diesel a sponsor" thread

    Ok, for those not following along on the"202 gallon diesel tank" thread, there is a bunch of hullabaloo about whether or not Diesel (Ben) should be classified as a commercial seller and have to register as a sponsor. Rather than everybody getting all excited, I have come up with a workable...

    If you need a nice sea hare...

    Ok, I'm gonna rant here for a sec. I went by Petco Pearland today to pick up some air stones and of course had to peek at their saltwater fish. The employee in charge of the fish just happened to be standing there when I walked up. I started looking at what they had and couldn't help but...

    does this website act up for anybody else?

    It gets very frustrating sometimes and I am wondering if it is just my computer or if others have problems too. For instance, all day today, my keyboard only types about half of the letters I hit. Other sites are fine so I know its not my keyboard. Sometimes, I can't post as the text box is...

    My first Triton water test

    Ok, got my first water test results today. Maybe Diesel can help decipher the results. My total tank water volume is around 300g after LR is taken into consideration. I don't dose anything and occasionally run GFO and carbon. Tank is heavily stocked and fed 2x/day. I took the GFO and carbon...

    Ain't nobody gonna believe this....

    Ok, I have a beautiful Achilles tang that I got from Kat (thanks Kat!!) and a pair of flame hawks in quarantine. Everybody knows that flame hawks don't have swim bladders so they have to spend a lot of energy treading water when they are feeding. It appears this Achilles has noticed that the...

    Anyone near Pearland have a 20L I can borrow for a few days

    Just looking for someone near the Pearland area that might have a 20L aquarium that I can borrow for a few days. I am wanting to try the TTM to quarantine a new fish. I already have one 20L, and a 40 breeder for the final QT. Just need one more 20 and hate to buy one just for this. I will...

    How many of you QT?

    When I started my display tank several months ago, my goal was to QT or dip everything. I didn’t want anything in my tank that I didn’t intentionally put there. My display is 400g and my QT was 30g. All was going according to plan. Sand was new, LR was dried and re-seeded, etc. Then I...
