Hi all! I was wondering if this is green coralline. It's not hair or film algae. A tooth brush does nothing. What do you think? This is 4 month old Marco Rock from BRS. I'm really happy about all the different reddish and purples hues that are popping up all over :smokin:

Ok thanks guys. I'm watching it carefully, and if it gets bigger I'll have to trap him and put in a qt for observation/treatment. Yeah shes been eating fine. She hasn't been invisible while hiding. it's more that she chills in the shadows while swimming, not tucked away in the rock or...

I got 4 female lyretail female anthias from liveaquaria about 8 days ago. I bought 3 small and 1 medium sized, assuming the medium would become male to try and help prevent some of the possible infighting for whos male. I stupidly did not QT the fish. The smallest female in the picture...

salinity and temperature are independent, except for the secondary effect of raised water temperature increasing evaporation which was mentioned earlier salinity is a measure of the ratio between total dissolved salt weight and pure water weight. while it is true that temperature and density...

Amazing! Love that flounder!

Thanks it was a very large yellow fin. maybe 250-300 lbs hard to tell underwater?

awesome thanks for the low down. I'm going to run it a little wetter I think. Ideally I'd like a nice full cupful once a week.:fish:

Thanks! Turneeffe Reef Atoll. It was great! I've been wanting to do cozumel as I love the weightless flying sensation you get from drift dives. have they been epic? Hope the rest of your week is amazing. I know its early in the season, but wishing you whale shark sightings.

their preferred prey (seals, sea lions, etc) are generally at the surface. 100ish feet down they think you're just another big predator -- it's the getting in and out that can be a little scary. We generally dove the "cleaning stations" where barber fish (you can see several in the images)...

thanks! I thought it might be a little dark, but the consistent bubbles coming out over the cup seemed good to me.

had a elos midi that I shut down before a move two years ago. recently got a 170 peninsula waterbox. I included a few images of the new setup and some of my fish. Between tanks I did some diving. Highlight of my life thus far probably was my 14 day trip to cocos island 350 miles offshore...

I think I've got it dialed in, but wanted confirmation. This is 3 days of skimmate. Thanks in advanced, Willie

the live stock is accounted for thanks for looking. mods how do i close this?

I'm moving to Los Angeles during June this summer and would like to donate my livestock to a loving awesome tank that has room in the middle of next month. I have: -4 year old mated pair of black ice clowns (they spawn regularly) -4 year old reef Chromis -black clown goby -green clown goby...

I saw some but not a lot. I heard it had to do with the us military occupation, but who knows.
