A lot has happened in the world over the last 15 years but Ocean Gallery continues to provide you a great diversity of healthy fish and corals. We've thought about some different and interesting ways to promote this important time in Ocean Gallery's history but decided that with the state of the economy the best way to serve you is to offer you some outlandish pricing on some awesome livestock. All livestock will be 30% off the normal price.

Here are some examples of what the pricing will be:

Flame Angels 44.80
ORA ocellaris clowns $14
ORA Canary Blennies $19
Turbo Snails 1.00
Blue Leg Hermits 1.00
Sm Hippo Tangs $29
ORA Aquacultured frags as low as $35
Our own SPS frags as low as $10
Our famous Acan frags $21
Dendrophyllia $35/polyp
Chalice frags as low as $35
Trachyphyllia as low as $40
Torch Corals as low as $45
Deresa Clams $25
Maxima Clams starting at $42

And this is just a sample of the pricing this weekend...Remember all livestock will be 30% off. We promised that this would be a weekend that you wouldn't want to miss and we WILL keep our promise.

Of course with any celebration comes food. Coffee and donuts in the morning and pizza in the afternoon.

The first 10 people that come in on Saturday will also be able to purchase a bucket of Brightwell Salt for $50 or a royal gramma for $9.

And to top it all off..........For every $20 you spend you'll get a raffle ticket for our drawing on Saturday and Sunday ]]> Ocean Gallery II Brian@Ocean Gallery II http://www.reefbuilders.com/forums/ocean-gallery-ii/13287-ocean-gallery-15th-anniversary-gala.html Mid Week Treats http://www.reefbuilders.com/forums/aquatic-auction/13286-mid-week-treats.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:52:47 GMT Oh its "Hump Day" and you definitly need some refreshment.

I was thinking of upgrading my 22g Nano to a Solana. But I also wanted to upgrade the Skimmer to the Tunze if this was really possible. I read that "and with a slight modification it fit and worked great"

If anyone has done this or has experience on this modification, I would like to know. Also does it fit entirely into the Solana's back and does not stick out. This tank would be for my bedroom and I want it to look nice as well but feel that the upgraded skimmer will be quite beneficial.

Any pics would be greatly appreciated as well.

And as a side question, how quiet is the Tunze Nano DOC Protein Skimmer? Being in my bed room where I do sleep, half the reason for switching from my current 22g cube set up with a hang on CPR is the noise. ]]> DIY Projects MonopolyBag http://www.reefbuilders.com/forums/diy-projects/13285-tunze-nano-doc-protein-skimmer-34g-solana-doable.html 75g for trade http://www.reefbuilders.com/forums/coral-livestock-equipment-marketplace/13284-75g-trade.html Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:23:29 GMT I have a 75g I'd like to trade for a 40g breeder.

These are the real deal, will produce Onyx. The female is gorgeous, the only fish I have seen in person that has a jet black tail. I have had the pair for about 4 months now and they have spawned several time for me. The male is NOT the male she came with, he is one I paired her with as the original male was not black enough for my tastes.

I now have more spawning Onyx pairs then I need so I have decided to sell only one pair for the moment. They are perfectly good spawners, females age is unknown, however she is less than 5 years old.

Anyway, I am asking $1200 for the pair. I feel this is a very reasonable price for a breeding pair of Onyx. An experienced breeder and/or anyone with a customer base will be able to recover the money from this purchase within one batch.

Here is a video of the pair.

Feel free to call me at 707-718-7110, if I do not answer I am most likely in class, just leave a voicemail and I will call you back.

There has been a lot of progress and major changes since I first tried it.
I have 2, 110gal(US), one is a fresh water planted tank and the other is an African cichlid tank. I am going to convert the African tank into a reef tank with sps and lps corals and some fish. I'm in the middle of doing a lot of research about the hobby and have started buying some of the equipment that I will need.
I look forward to chatting with members here and getting advice and tips from you. ]]> Introductions and Welcomes bluster http://www.reefbuilders.com/forums/introductions-welcomes/13275-hi-everyone-great-site.html How many lights? http://www.reefbuilders.com/forums/equipment/13274-how-many-lights.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:17:34 GMT Hi
I have been keeping a marine tank for quite a few years now, but I am about to upgrade from a 48" tank to a 6ft 6" x 2ft x 2ft tank.
As part of the upgrade I am switching from fluorescents to metal halides. Is it better to have one or two high power metal halides or are a larger number of lower power units better?
I would think that you would get better light distribution with more units and could maybe phase the start up so as not to shock the coral or fish so much but is there any other advantages/ disadvantages.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. ]]> Equipment neutronium http://www.reefbuilders.com/forums/equipment/13274-how-many-lights.html False Clown http://www.reefbuilders.com/forums/anemones-clownfish/13273-false-clown.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:55:26 GMT We have a 55 gallon tank that we have been cycling and preparing with live rock and sand for several weeks.

A couple of days ago, we added 2 false clowns and a cleaner shrimp that we drip acclimated prior to adding them. They found their "home" almost immediately and have not really moved from that area but have been fairly active.

This morning, we noticed one of them is not being active. He almost seems to be stuck on the sand bed. He just kinda sits there and is either "laying" on sand bed or pressed up against the glass.

His color isn't faded at all and his appearance hasn't changed at all. The best I can describe it, is he seems stuck. We target fed them this morning in case the issue was food, the other one ate right away and as far as I can tell, this one has not eaten yet.

Is this normal?

I wanted to pass some information on about my experience in reef keeping. I am somewhat new with less than a year in the hobby. I read thru the Internet until I reached the end, and I harassed every LFS. :)

I have 125g main tank with a 90g refugium. I have about 600-700gph circulation thru the system (1000+gph pump). 2 1200gph circulating pumps(hydor)
Water Quality is:
No Ammonia
No Nitrate
No Nitrite
Salinity 1.024
Temp avg 78-82 deg
Ph 8.1-8.3
Calcium ~400
(I let my LFS's test my water too)

I have done ONE water change since the tank was birthed. ~30gallons (tap water) - I use Instant Ocean Salt (not reef crsytals)

I run no Activated Carbon (only once for 15days after water change), No protein Skimmer, no Mechanical Filtration, etc.

Main:
Fish in Tank:
Yellow Tang
Yellow-eye Tang
Dragon Goby
Lawnmower Blenny
Perc. CLown Fish
Maderian Goby (in refug)
Inverts:
Sandsifting starfish
5 Peppermint shrimp
10 Snails (mixed)
20 hermits (red, blue, scarlet, etc)
4 Emerald crabs

Refugium:
2 emerald crabs
4 peppermint shrimp
20 hermit crabs (mixed)
5 snails
invasion of Copepods/Amphipods
Mysis Shrimp
bristle worms
lots of Detritivores

Now, I test my water once a week. Add Aragamilk with every gallon of drinking water I add. overfeed the refugium and feed main tank once per day (1 block of frozen mysis shrimp and teaspoon of dried fish pellets) 2 cap-fulls DT phyto every2-3days, Seachem Fuel every wk

The Refugium is swarming with Feather-dusters (100s) and the Macro-Algae is blooming!

6-8" of fine oolite sand (DSB) in main tank and refugium.

100-150lbs of live rock.

Corals: (mostly simple)
Sun Coral ~4months
Torch Coral ~1 month
Zena ~7 months
Pink-Lighting ~2 months
Star-polyps ~7 months
Button Polyps ~1-6 months
Leathers ~1 month

All corals love tank save the Zenia.

Lighting:
Main
2x 72" 160w T12 VHO (Actinic white & 454 blue)
2x 36" Nova Extreme fixtures (2x 39w T5 HO 10000K & actinic blue)
1 72" 54 LED 470nm blue

Refugium
1 36" 39w T5 6500K (life-glo)
1 36" 39w T5 18000K (power-Glo)

How can this tank function? Goes directly against mostly everything I have read and 2 marine biologists (friends).
Will my tank crash? (seems like it gets better every week)

Advice and discussion wanted:thumbup:

My wife and I went out for breakfast (that's not unusual) and before we left the tanks actinic were on and everything was fine. When we got home about 1 1/2 hours later, the tank is really clouded up (milky white) and the skimmer is foaming excessively. The skimmer is not filling up with spent water like an over reaction it foaming with large foam reminding one of soap bubbles. Alk = 10 dkh, Calc = 460 ppm. Checked for Ammonia and it is 0 ppm. I'm puzzled. Did nothing with the tank in the way of additives or water change. Any thoughts are appreciated. ]]> Reef Discussion unclejed http://www.reefbuilders.com/forums/reef-discussion/13247-need-your-thoughts.html Scwd http://www.reefbuilders.com/forums/equipment/13246-scwd.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:22:40 GMT Any advice on using this device.

Last weekend I purchased a black & white angel for my 55 FOWLR. Just this morning, I have noticed that he has several white specks on his fins and a few on his body. I have dealt with ich before, unfortunately, and REALLY don't want to have to treat the tank. Has anyone had luck with cleaner shrimp in this situation or heard of anyone who has? I have been wanting to get one for a while and this could be a good time if I got him today. Thank you for any help.
