Dave, thank you for the graciousness (as always) for hosting this meeting. I won't be able to make it... this weekend and next a bit chaotic for me.

Not sure what the size limit on uploads to the gallery is, but that is quite large. By comparison, the couple you sent me were like 5Mb each

Post images and pictures to this album. If you would, add a short description of the item and tank size it came from. I will try and incorporate that into the video.

Let me set up a gallery on here for people to post things.

It could be... when my kenya tree gets irritated, it retracts all of it's polyps, but I agree it is hard to tell. Like others said, move it out of any super direct flow and see if it opens up.

Sweeeeet!

Are you telling my all the times I've had female clowns attack me they were just wanitng to be fed more and not that they didn't like me? Well, in your case.... (To make you feel better, my female maroon would dart across the 75g just to bite me )

The live rock will help with filtration ... which is going to be key in a predator tank. You need really good filtration since predator tanks tend to get fed a lot more/heavier than reef tanks. The live rock will also provide a more "secure" feel to fish in the tank, as lion fish like to hide to stalk there prey sometimes, plus eels like caves. Speaking of eels, you will need to make sure you have a good fitting lid. They are notorious escape artists. They don't quite understand they won't live outside of water. Many years ago I had a snowflake eel that I raised from 7 inches long to almost 1.5 feet. Over the course of the years, he was fine till one day he got it in his head to go exploring the dining room floor. Found him dried up on the floor the next morning. If you don't plan on keeping corals initially, you won't need an ultra-fancy light.

Voting ends on September 30th at midnight. See the full sized pictures here: September Photo Contest Gallery

Y'all forced my hand ... entered a picture of my own.

Add it to the gallery linked above please.

Nice thing to do!

Remember we have a Full Tank thread also. But this is a nice spontaneous idea.

The April swap was down south. Meetings are based on who volunteers to host them.

Fixed the link.

Come on folks, some one has to have a picture of a gorgonian they want to enter.

Not in supplementing my income

Another active fish would be something like a small six line wrasse. Very inquisitive, and moves around a lot (and is colorful). Pair that with maybe a yellow clown goby, which tend to sit and watch people back, and I think it would be a cool tank.
