[News Blast: WAMAS Donates to ADE]

Always good to see the club doing great things

[Thinking about renting a hall]

As long as I am off.. I would come.  Family's allowed?

[All ready for triton]

Not sure honestly.  They say 10 to 20% water volume for the fuge.  Iam not sure what mine is but I still need to cut out my filter sock area which will give me prob around 23%.  Iam currently working to triton but need my fuge to grow more first

[60 Gallon Lagoon Reef]

How you liking that sand choice? Thinking about using it in the 22. 

Should have went alittle heavier.  The MP40 can move it pretty easily even on lagoon level 4

Figured I should continue this.  It will encourage pictures to be taken

[All ready for triton]

Thats barely over 10 percent.  Anyway to increase that to 10 gallons on the fuge.  That will take you to over 16%.  20% is optimal

[Big shout out to Ben]

Sorry for the delay.  I have midterms this week and totally forgot I won a $25 cert from you.  Just wanted to say thank you and I look forward to seeing your new store soon

They got abused the last time they went to a macna.... Wonder how they will be received at this one

[Is our hobby fading? Where you guys visit to get info these days?]

Not sure I agree. I've see mushrooms and zoas go way up.

Mushrooms are the hot coral at the moment. If you think back Iam sure you can remember the chalice craze or the acan one.  Zoas are crazy because of the morphs and a collectors mentality around them

[Cyno outbreak. Please help. Oh and the clownfish has decided to host a patch of it]

Your fish are most likly over fed anyway.  Fish in the ocean go around and pick at rocks all day.  Your probably feeding them food so packed with nutrients that they are fine.  3 days will not hurt anything

[Is our hobby fading? Where you guys visit to get info these days?]

Its growing.  You should see the things at shows these days.  Plug and play systems.  Some of the craziest brightest corals. I was looking at videos for reefapaloza and its crazy.. iam actually thinking about going next time.  

[Cyno outbreak. Please help. Oh and the clownfish has decided to host a patch of it]

Manually remove as much as you can. Do a large water change and leave your lights off for 3 days with no feeding. It should go away.  The real question is... why did it pop up. When I get it I know its time for me to break some of my hollywood stunner off because its stopping flow.  Your reason may be diffrent

[60 Gallon Lagoon Reef]

I've always been a big fan of Fiji Pink. If you're worried about the sand blowing around, consider going bare bottom. I had black argonite in my prior tank, it was a nice contrast, but a PIA to keep from looking dirty. 

I usually use fiji pink on my tanks also.  This tank is only 48x24x12 so pink wont work.  I think link above in my only shot at sand.  Its more of a look down system so I dont want to keep the bottom bare because you will see the brace and the stand cutout

[60 Gallon Lagoon Reef]

Any ideas what kind of sand I should use.  Tanks shallow and I dont want it to blow around to much.  

[60 Gallon Lagoon Reef]

Finally getting around to putting this thing together.  Special thanks go out to JOHN FORD for "helping me" with my plumbing (He put it together while I made 4 trips to get supplies we forgot).  Schedule 80 bulkheads dont fit schedule 40 holes......

[OCEAN BLUE]

Has anyone ate here yet.  I am going for my birthday.  Any recommendations.  Does anyone on here own it.  

[Coral conservation for girl scouts]

My wife asked me to reach out to you guys to see if anyone would be willing to teach a coral conservation class for a girl scout troop.  We live in gainesville va.  I would be willing to help and even research and print material as needed.  I would possibly even rope john ford into it.... (subtle way of asking)  Any help would be greatly appreciated and Iam sure the girls would be thrilled to learn about coral and efforts to protect the reefs.  

[$2500 for a mushroom]

There is always a hot new coral.  It was chalices,, then acans,,, and so on and on.  Eventually those bounces will cost $30 and no one will want them.  

[Marine Scene closed????]

Ive been out of the loop for a while... I am happy for him .... yet sad.. This was the store that got me into the hobby.  

[MACNA 2017 - New Orleans, LA]

You want the full conference pass. It's the best value right now. The price may hit as high as $160 or more for the full conference pass closer to the conference. The full conference pass includes the banquet and the reception.

Just waiting to see if my wife wants to go to the banquet with me or not

[MACNA 2017 - New Orleans, LA]

Taking 5 days vacation to go. Its a definite now.  Only have to figure out what level I want on my tickets. 

[Getting a pistol shrimp out]

Ill have to try this on my next day off.  It sucks.. I  really like him but He has killed $75 worth of coral recently and is getting worse.  

Try a empty water bottle trap with bait in it.
I would imagine night time would be the best

Upgrade to your 60 gallon and leave him behind...

Ive been working as much as you.... come do it for me.  

[Getting a pistol shrimp out]

Any suggestions on how to remove one from a tank.  He has a huge den thats pretty much the entire bottom of my 40b.  He was annoying at first.. just burying things... recently he has taken to stealing corals and dragging them into his house.  He killed an Acan and a Duncan.  

[MACNA 2017 - New Orleans, LA]

Cant wait.  Defiantly going to this.  The food alone there makes it worth the trip
