I have purchased a 180 gallon aquarium from these guys. Got exactly what I wanted, good price, it is obvious they do it quick, but the tank is sturdy as can be, and heavily reinforced. I would deal with them again, but beware: You will have to clean up some silicone spots with a razor blade. For...

Chop it off, send it to me. It looks cool, and I try to collect different algaes. I don't think it is cotton candy algae, but you never know. Joey

Your clam is as big as my tank.... 8O Joey

I'm a little worried...Is it possible to die of envy induced by delbeek's tanks? Joey

Delbeek, THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I always get the craziest looks when I clean the coralline from the glass, frown on powerheads, so on and so forth. I hate seeing that crap in the tank. A nice clean back glass, no crappy looking pumps everywhere covered in flaking white and purple coralline, just...

"You need a bigger tank, dude..."

I just realized that you have a softy tank. You will probably be able to get away with not much dosing at all. Joey

Back in the day, first tank, I bought a sarcophyton and a plerogyra from lfs. My current tank has two RESCUED acro colonies, and a tubestraea that I received for a seriously reduced sale price from an lfs as well. I have been guilty of purchasing wild corals, it would seem, only when the colony...

I have heard of them coming back after such traumatic episodes as being cut in two, even my own has suffered serious injury and grew back to become the monster that it is now. I would just hope for the best, chances are you might get lucky if your tank conditions are right. Joey

I wish I could say the same. I went to the keys for a week and my tank almost had an electrical fire. Luckily I had a friend checking in who caught the problem. Still, I have almost lost one coral, a yellow acro, to slow tissue necrosis, and is barely holding on. I guess I could consider myself...

As well as everything else in an aquarium.... Bubbling of the tips of entacmacea quadricolor is no indicator of health, nor cause for alarm. Lack of bubbles is a common phenomenon when placing this anemone in a captive environment. Joey
