My tank is overrun with Nems. What fish or invertebrates eat nems? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What an amazing shop! My first visit was today and I was shocked. Im a bit OCD when it comes to things, the devil is in the details. This place nailed it, great space, tub placement, coral viewing, very comfortable. Selection. The best in the area, literally had everything. Knowledge. These guys know their stuff, wow. I highly recommend you reach out and visit at least once, you wont be sorry. David Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Make sure the temp and PH are the same as the salt water he has been in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The weird part is that the "tentacles" are as fat as my pinky finger Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure what type of coral this is? Anyone know? Frogspawn? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've had a Hydro slim skim nano since Sept, it works extremely well and is very quiet

Just an update. I believe it closed to conserve energy for the babies.

Well he's back and the babies are doing well, phew.

Long story short my Duncan frag was doing great eating mysis, growing fast then bang the main head closed up tight and hasn't opened in 3 days, all the little heads are open so I'm stumped.

A new challenge. I just found about 10 of these on the glass. They don't seem to have a shell and they move like snails/slugs.

Sound advice thank you! Would have never thought of that.

Im immune to the wife. I sold my 69 Bronco for the money and space so she can't say anything.

Nice, thanks for the heads up!

Dave, thanks for the kinds words. I'm trying my best to restrain myself. Lol. I've always wanted to do a large salt tank so now I have two things back, my time and money. I'm lucky now with my wife. When we first started dating I had a 300 gallon African cichlid pond in my room. So she always known fish keeping is my thing. I'm gonna have to start a new thread to ask everyone to post there basement builds.

Yeah I only clean the front completely. The side I only clean where I can. I like the full look. Thanks for compliment s. Im planning on finishing my basement this year so into the plans a 200 g reef tank. We will see.

Nothing amazing but its a start. Thanks for the tips.

I really like the skimmer, works well, quiet, and a good price. I'm in Brambleton. Now my new dilemma is do I get a bigger tank or do I wait and master what I have first.

Any pictures of the build you are willing to share. Sounds awesome.

So I just joined WAMAS. Hello to everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. Growing up I've always had a fish tank (freshwater). I've always enjoyed keeping fish and plants, there was always a draw to it. My love of aquariums was put on hold when I went to college, then marriage, then kids. My kids are finally old enough to where they don't need my constant attention and I have a few bucks to spend. So I said to myself, keeping aquariums always made you happy, lets start a reef aquarium (in my mind seemed like the most challenging aquarium to keep). So here I am 6 months into it, pure love for my slice of the ocean. This is what I have: -Innovative Marine 38g -x1 Hydor Slim Skim Nano -30 pounds dry rock (BRS) -10 pounds of fiji live sand -x1 powerhead (forget the flow/brand) -x1 Innovative Marine 24" Skkyelight Dimmable Dual LED Strip 26 Watts -x1 300 watt heater -I set up a refugium in one of the chambers in the back with Chaeto (growing well and reduced my nitrates ) Livestock: -x1 red zoo (they never all seem to be opened at one time) -x1 pulsing xenia (growing like crazy) -x1 purple xenia (growing like crazy) -x1 Neon green favia (alive but no growth) -x1 Neon green star polyp (growing slowly, but healthy) -x1 Green bubble tip anemone (just got it, hiding in the back, what a punk) About a month ago I had an Ick outbreak that killed all my fish except for x1 O Clown that I saved and put into a QT tank. I learned my lesson and I plan on QT'ing every fish I buy going forward. Lesson learned. Any advice on my tank or livestock I would appreciate. Or just words of wisdom. I look forward to learning more and getting to know the community. Regards, David

Can anybody ID this? Its on the glass and about the size of a pin top.
