I don't know what I'd do without mine. It also has a hepa filter and activated carbon filter for incoming air.

I've been trying to research them more before I drop the dough. I'm just unsure about what brand. I know there are some options I need like the anti-frost ability and that hepa and ac filters sound good too Gotta hit the reviews!

Clutch #3 laid tonight! Check out the video below

Alpha Corals LLC - 20111119224237.mpg

Pictures of the clutch today. Not exactly a large clutch lol.

I'm sure it will get better, haven't been feeding very well at all lately I'm surprised they laid at all.

My Onyx are now laying!!! Don't know when these were laid but there are two very dark looking eggs there now and this male doesn't look like he's eating them. I believe this is their first clutch!!!

My secret to getting the b&w last week to begin spawning again after a 2 month stop and now these clowns laying their first clutch... I stopped doing water changes or cleaning the tanks except for protein skimmers! We have been majorly slacking with feedings, some days only one small feeding but still they lay!!!

Thanks Marvin! I only have two pairs that are laying eggs right now and combined they laid about 15 eggs this week lol. They will lay more eggs in time. Also, we will get more clowns to lay in time. I've decided to try hatching the two eggs my onyx have right now. I'm speculating that they will hatch this Wed or Thurs and so just started to prep by getting a rotifer culture going. If I am successful this will be my first ever hatch Can't wait!!!!

Thanks Austin! You've got to find a bulk lot for captive grown anemones. My suggestion is to look through the anemone forum and find someone who has an overgrown tank. Shoot them a pm and ask to buy a few

Don't hesitate on getting the tank back up, add a few rocks and some saltwater and just top off with RO and check the salinity. After a few months you'll be ready to go! It will only take an hour to setup

Light it up!!!

Getting ready for some major coral fragging, this is just the very very beginning!!! We already have hundreds of frags and will be taking thousands within the next few months. Then we are gonna let all those frags grow out under these lights for 2-3 months and frag again. I'm gonna be doing some very cool things with the raceways I can't wait to show everyone!!!

 

[Reef UP]

Wowza thats some serious lighting power!!

Looks awesome! Its nice when a vendor isnt afraid to show some behind the scenes action.

The stoplight chalice rim combo. Red Yellow and Green rims!!! Just had to show them off with a quick pic. Bubble algae adds some character lol

Enjoy! Happy Holidays everyone!

First time successfully hatching clownfish eggs last night!!! I started with about a hundred eggs. On the first night after being put in the hatching tank, about 5 of the eggs popped off the pot and ended up on the bottom of the tank i'm guessing due to too much bubbling. On the second night (last night) by 11:30pm about 5-10 had hatched. Some were sitting on the bottom of the tank and darting upwards occasionally. Some were swimming around normally. I have no heater in a 5.5g tank with a temp of about 76-78F (ambient temp). I decided not to add a heater after the first time I tried hatching and the heater malfunctioned heating up to 95F. I have a light over the tank just barely adding light to one corner of the tank. I added some green water to tint and some rotifers last night. I'm going to add some more rotifers today when I go to check them. I'm hoping all of them hatched out by now. Can't wait to see!!!
