    Eight-legged friend

    So obviously when you find gross things in your tank, you need to share them. Well here you go—I went to check-in my refugium earlier this week and found a spider crawling around! My best guess is that it’s a diving bell spider that came in as an egg with my copepods or macroalgae shipment. But...

    Wrong Silicone! (aka I am an idiot)

    So I finished converting my old 120G to my new sump, complete with custom glass baffles I installed myself. I was careful to pick out 100% silicone that did not list a fungicide, pesticide or mold inhibitor in the ingredients and did not say “not safe for aquariums” on the label (it didn’t...

It's enough sand to cover 120 gallons in about 1.5" of sand. The sand has some beneficial worms, critters, algae, as well as lots of bacteria as the...

    Coral ID?

    Can anyone ID what this is? It came with my tank. I've wondered if it was a mushroom coral, but it's extremely smooth and doesn't have an obvious stalk or well-defined shape, unlike the mushroom corals I've seen online. It's also begun to melt/grow all over my rock work, which I don't...
