    Growing on my LR

    Hi guys Please help with ID. This thing is growing on my LR and I'm not sure if safe or not. I found it after moving some rocks around during my Dec/Jan leave. It's about the size of a 1c coin, so this pic is the best I can do for now for something this tiny. Saw one at LFS, but the owner...

    Progress Feedback

    I joined MASA in March this year knowing less than nothing of this hobby. I've had a FW system for a long time, so I had some sort of an idea that switching to marines are going to be hard... I was offered a tiny nano (45-50L - with 2 clows, some live rock and a box filter - all for R400), but...

    Feedback on "Hostile Take-over"

    Hi all Been just over 2 weeks ago that I took over (by force) a 60L Nanno from a person who clearly didn't know how to take care of a Marine aquarium. I took it over with no knowledge of Marines, but had a lot of help from MASA to guide me. It was bad news all the way when one of the forum...
