Thank you everyone for taking the time to leave such nice comments. And MODS, thank you for the honor of my photo on the front page. I just added the final photos to the first post as all the eggs have been released and nature has run its course. Notes.. Jaymo - all photos taken from...

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Just posted new pics approx 28 hrs after first set. Looks like the eyes are more developed and the body is starting to differentiate.

Clownfish Eggs Macro... final update 1/31 Well after 3.5 years my clownfish have started to spawn. Here are a couple of shot on what I believe is day 3. I am not going to try to raise them, I will just let nature take it course. Taken Nikon D200, nikkor 60mm micro, off camera flash 1/26 @...

I just found the same exact looking flatworm munching last night on my 2.5 year old crocea. I am so pissed ! I remember seeing him 2 years ago crawling on the back glass. I thought it was a detris eater. Now I know why I have had to replace my snail population every 3 months. In the past...

Sorry thats not my photo, I am a better photographer than that :) http://www.pbase.com/rfcd100 What did it smell like.....It smelled like the hudson river. Here is the view from my balcony :)

I had a small 10 inch diameter rock from Hawaii sitting outside on my balcony as a decorative piece for 2 years. When I needed a piece of rock to mount some coral frags, I broke it into two pieces and yes....boiled it for 30 minutes to remove all that NYC pollution. What was brown and dirty...

I have been using a lifereef overflow for the past 2.5 years on my tank and it has never lost siphon or failed to restart after shutting off my pumps. As to having to mod the U tube, its not necessary. I just snake up an airline into the tube, connect it to a venturi outlet on a maxipump and it...

my small 29G right inside my doorway.

8am -10 am - actinics 10am-6pm - 250W MH 6pm-8pm - actinics 8pm to 8am - led moonlights Since it has been said actinics really dont do anything but look nice, I guess my growth period is 8 hours a day with my MH.

I have been running a canister (fluval 205) for 2.5 years on my tank without any problems with nitrates. I do however clean it every 2 weeks. Currently running carbon (changed every 2 weeks) and rowaphos (changed every 6-8 weeks)

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I started this reef tank as an experiment in March 2006 and I am quite happy with its outcome. My main hobby is still photography and I shoot a lot of panoramas in NYC. If anyone is interested my pbase galleries can be found at...

Just inside my front door. Thus the limitation on tank size and equipment choices are being dictated by esthetic's

Thanks everyone for the comments. I am surprised anyone remembers me. PINOY, not much new just going with the flow. I just updated my tank thread with new pics and some observations. http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/tank-threads/28692-my-29g-reef-tank-2.html#post481452 I am still a noob...

Not sure if anyone remembers me as I haven't been around for a while. I haven't posted in a long while because nothing new has happened for me in this hobby. Over the past year I haven't done a thing to my tank except for feeding and maintenance. Yes, since last summer 2007, zero dollars...

I bet some of you thought the opposite when you read the title of this thread :)
