    MitchReef's Reef...well the current one at least....

    Well.....the anthiases (??Plural for anthias??!!!) turned out to be a totally bad choice....they never started eating and the powder brown targeted them as enemies so they went back where they came from!!!! The little misbar clown decided to explore the land outside the glass box and I found...

    Less fish = healthier corals

    I gotta say I agree with Dennis on this one...I used to have a reef that was doing "okay" and I added several fish and it began doing "GREAT" A friend who was one of the most amazing reefkeepers I've ever known gave me that hint and it really worked!

    Missing fish

    +1...those species BOTH need tight fitting tank lids....If you make them from window screen frame and mesh they can be very affordable and they work great....BRS carries a clear nylon 1/4 inch mesh pretty cheap...I just ordered some after finding a 3 year old misbar ocellaris AND a Carberyi...

    think i found the source of nitrates. plz look

    You should ditch the bio-balls if they are still in it....they end up caked with nitrate producing detritus and stuff.....that's one problem....the second is that when it goes dark is when a majority of the anaerobic activity takes place, thus actually adding to the nightly pH swing.....and that...

    3D printing your aquarium parts

    I'm wondering about the RepRap builds....I saw that the replicated parts are an included file and that the standard is that a person who builds one makes at least two sets to sell to other builders for the cost of materials only. It would still be sonewhat costly for the steppers and...

    Arc Eye Hawkfish...such a jerk

    That is probably the strongest advice I give anybody about the hobby and the creatures we care for. Please, for the critter's sake, do a bit of homework, even if you take a moment to open your smartphone and give a quick look to LiveAquaria or something and check them out. I've popped out the...

    New Corals, Acros First attempt.

    I agree with what noy said, I actually have a little 6X6 square grid piece of black eggcrate. It measures right at 4 1/2 X 4 1/2 inches and I sanded a bevel onto the underside of the eggcrate and glued ot to a small MagFloat. Frag gel holds it like it was made for this purpose. The bevel is just...
