    I have this lovely beautiful RBTA that I purchased from Josh. It is beautiful and super healthy and was about 10" wide opened up. It was the center peice of my tank. Well, apparently it did not take the news about the election results too well and around 2:00 AM last night it decided that...

    I just saw this guy today on the live rock. I don't know what he is but I was afraid that he may be a pest. Afraid that he might get away if he was a real pest, I tried to catch him. In the process I accidentally caused him irreversible harm. Afterwards, it seems like he is a black limpet...

    Flatworm Exit is not 100% completely Reef Safe.

    So I had some flatworms in my tank. I purchased some Flatworm Exit and treated the tank. It did a really good job of killing the flatworms. Unfortunately, it also killed all my my little brittle stars and all my bristle worms as well. I figure for something labeled as reef safe, it would at...

    First of probably many stupid mistakes.

    Okay, so I purchased some live rock for the 20 gallon that I was going to use as a quarantine as well. Well, the live rocks had lots of little pests in it such as bristol worms and Majano anemone and sponges, along with green and brown mushrooms. So I researched what I need to do on line...

    Well, it's been almost 3 years since we moved and I sold of my reef tanks. I figured its about time to get back into the hobby.
