Come on in and say hello, looking for people who are in the NW Washinton area.

Lionfish will actually lay their dorsal spines flat in such a way that suggests they're trying to avoid "accidents"... at times. I have had many, and volitans (after taming) seemed to be pretty respectful. The dwarf lions were the ones that gave me a few close calls.

thanks thats a huge relief to hear, I want one pretty bad but thats like the one main thing that was holding me back, but not anymore

How's the Wrasse doing with the Puffer Kenny?

its doing well i moved it from the puffer tank to my other tank i lost a several fish monday due to something im still not sure about. I work up to the fish struggling and saved a few and had to house them all in puffers tank for a few days so i could figure out what the issue was, i tested my water and everything and never really figured it out so i did a water change left the tank alone for a few days before adding fish back and now its better than it was before everything real happy and the wrasse is swimming like crazy lol

best place to get live copepods

Hey guys! We were wondering where the best place to buy copepods from? Online or in person. We know of a place in silverdale, but everytime we go there, he's out of them. We have a mandarin gobby coming on Tuesday and would like to have some for him. Thanks guys!!

 

[skinz78]

Generally you don't need to buy them once your tank is established. I know your tank is fairly new though so adding them isn't a bad idea. I would look at these as well as some of the other products that Reef Nutrition sells.

Reef Nutrition - Tigger-Pods®

oh this is awesome! Thank you so much! I knew you'd come thru!

 

[IPisces]

Reef pods may be better. I have used them from a couple different places. Tigger pods dont breed well in a marine system since they are a cold water species. They dont live long enought to breed.
I seeded my tanks with reef pods a year ago and have not had to do it again.

oh really?? wow, ok! thank you sooooo much!

 

[thecarmichaels]

hello friends!! Ok two questions. Our Kole Tang is really pale and has some marks on his side that look like he's been running in to our live rock... what wrong with him?? We just checked our water and everything is perfect... im very confused. Also our pesky BTA is on the move again, i thought i read somewhere that they could take out our coals? is that true?

 

[skinz78]

Can you post a pic of the Tang? It is correct that the BTA can sting corals, they generally move around till they find a spot they like.

Also I would like to remind everyone who is new to forums to be sure to check out the rest of the club forum and R2R and not just this thread. There are many other threads in the club forum so check them out if you haven't already done so. North Olympic Reef Club

[skinz78]

Do you have a Facebook? I just post mine to my Facebook page and then right click them and copy image location. Then click the photo icon in the reply box and paste the URL there and it works like a charm.
