Does reef escape have a store front?

I'm picking up three clowns this weekend and just looking to add a fourth

I want to have a nearly BTA only tank. 30 gallon tank with 6+ BTAs and I'm thinking I just want to do clowns. I want to have 4 or 5 ocellaris. For some reason I remember being told not to put them in even number groups. Is this just fallacy or is there some truth to this?

I'm wondering if there are any known vendors in the area that quarantine their live stock. I'm just looking to pick up and ocellaris or two.

Looks almost perfect this morning, tweaked it a bit more. Just goes to show number of years in the hobby doesn't dictate brains sometimes lol

This is the future right? I mean as soon as it can be printed in aragonite form http://9gag.com/gag/aozLm7X

It's in progress but looking better

Just reread the instructions ... *face palm* the full open was only for the break in period

Its a tunze 9004 comline skimmer.I can't seem to get my skimmer tuned its been running for over a week now it gets a consistent water level and right now I leave the air adjustment full open ... so I'm expecting a dry skim or no skim right? Instead I get a huge mess. My salinity is correct and my bioload right now is a single damsel in a 30 gallon tank... what gives? The skimmer cup fills immediately, with in 2-5 minutes after turning it on. The mess It does skim sort of pretty wet You can see here the water level about half covers the intake fins for the skimmer. I am not using the microbubble sponge for the simmer ( I badly need to order it though)

Anyone, Buler?

No one?

I essentially shoved my rbta deep into a hole in live rock when i first got it. Didn't see it for a week and the didn't move for two years. It's pretty hit or miss there isn't an exact science to it

Man i wish my tank was ready for clowns, great prices on tank raised

Well this escalated quickly. I still think I'm going to go controller less with two undersized heaters

It was from their lit that i got the incorrect measurement of the gen 1. I want to know if the current gen is significantly lower profile than the first gens.

I found the lit being a little off of accurate on sites in terms of gen 1 vortechs. Can some one measure down to the mm for me the height and width of the new gen MP 10 dry side. Thanks! !
