If you want to lower the bristle worm numbers you will have to cut back on feedings or get something that eats them. I used to have a ton of stomatellas. I enjoy watching them. I think it was my emerold crab that took them out. It's the only thing I have to blame it on unless my acans and anemones are swallowing them when they pass. (It's all speculation) I'm down to only a couple. Now that my emerold is in the sump I'll have to see if their numbers come back or if I don't have the nutrients to support them anymore. I think bristles have their part but sounds like you have a lot!

I have a 55 gallon freshwater and a 75 reef. I always guessed it to be 40 bucks but never went any further. I'm gonna have to amp them out now you all have me thinking about it.

I have a Favia that's been touching rock on all sides for a few months and it's still not attached. It continues to grow it just hasn't grabbed ahold yet

Roscoe... Just do this http://www.melevsreef.com/vodka_dosing.html I've yet to do this but I would start at a lower dose than 15ml but that's just me. I'd rather go slow

I have a blk/wht Misbar Clown. Nice add! Enjoy the mini vacay too, I need one of them

I can swing by tomorrow on my way home. I pass by your house everyday around 245ish unless I'm working late which I'm not tomorrow

Nice!

Reef snow makes my skimmer stink. At least that's what I blame it on. I'm giggling as I convince my wife I can't change diapers when my baby comes cause I'll throw up. If she saw the nasty crap I clean off the neck of my skimmer I'm done for. My cover will be blown!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I couldn't get it out of my head.. I'm envisioning a radioactive spawning event but maybe I'm just tired.

I'm curious about the neon purple liquid

Thanks everyone! I have a Misbar Clown, false percula clownfish, Randall Goby, Pistol Shrimp (love hate combo!), Lawnmower Blenny, Skunk Cleaner, And a GBT which just split a few weeks ago. I think I fed it too much. They split and stay right next to each other

Ive been meaning to get to this but im still attempting to figure out my Nikon D3200.. I may never figure it out so heres some info and shots about my system. (no where near as nice as alot of yours but its a start) My tanks now a year old. Ive been battling Cyano and Hair algae but ive finally got the upper hand and its clearing up. I dont ever expect to have a sanitized aquarium but I had enough my corals were suffering~ 75 gallon tank, 20G sump, AquaC ev180 with a mag 9.5, 150 LF reactor, Homemade Carbon reactor,800 gph overflow box, Mag 7 return, 2 evo 1500s and a WP40, Made my own canopy with PC fans and a 6 lamp T5 highbay fixture with 2 ATI actinic, 2 ATI Blue plus, 1 ATI Coral plus Lamps. The Light fixture may not be the best but the chrome reflectors wrap 50% of the lamps and its better than my first home made fixture. So far ive just got Zoas and LPS Corals.

I've got my mortgage and a 0% interest car loan. That's it. All the plastic is gone. My first is due this December and my wife is going to quit her job, we will see how long that last.. This thread has now officially been hijacked. Sorry Joshifer.

In order to live like no one else.., You have to live like no one else. I learned a lot but only use about half. One needs to have fun. I'm sure This hobby is not Ramsey approved LOL

Nice! I always have been a day late I'm going to do my best to meet up next month at the meeting. It'll be nice to put a face to some of these names..Of course my memory is about as long as my short toe

I've had to pay for everything in this hobby. You mean people donate stuff? I've been hanging with the wrong people

Those moths get HUGE!

My emerold took out almost all of my stometella snails. Got him this morning after two weeks of hunting him down and he's in the sump.

I have a ev-180 with a mag 9.5 and love it. I wipe the neck every time i clean the cup out just to help keep it clean. I don't have exp with any other skimmers though so i dont know what to compare it too. I had a sea clone before this one.... (insert laughs here)

Gainesville, VA Ive been Lurking for awhile, Just joined a few days ago. Thanks for all the great advice!
