@Rakie does the Melafix Pond dip kill redbugs? I was showing a local guy the dip and your recommendations. He asked if it killed redbugs, so I'm asking you ;)

I actually don't know, but it kills LPS/SPS spiders which most people consider unkillable -- Red Bugs/Black Bugs are pods, and it decimates pods.. I'd say give it a shot, but that is a pest I've never encountered.

Where are you located Rakie? I moved from Texas in Dec. to Rancho Palos Verdes and have been struggling to find anyone local who reefs
Huntington Beach, there's more reefers here than anywhere. Several clubs as well

Yeah I take the dogs almost every other weekend. Also a big fan of Seaside Tropical. If you ever take walk ins I’d love to come by sometime and buy a few frags

I’ll give you a heads up next time I’m heading to town and maybe I can swing by and pick up a few pieces

My brothers rainforest chicken is home. He's a Senegal, known for their characteristic yellow eyes, which haven't developed yet because he's a baby.

He doesn't have a personality yet, but he will develop one over time. For now he's pretty much cautiously optimistic, and sleepy. As for being sleepy... He's only 3-4 months old now, and just started eating solid food on his own last week.

Here he is acting out of control on my shoulder.

You got a video of it talking?

Or still much too young?

Rakie,...nice chicken !

Here's our Cockatoo "Shelby".

My Mechanic helper.

Awesome! I love cockatoo but the noise potential scares me haha. They are the loudest, especially when they're happy haha.

Senegal actually aren't big talkers. They're one of the most quiet parrots you can get actually, which was a big reason why my brother wanted him. Otherwise he probably would have gotten a red breasted cockatoo hah

So here's some SPS frags I'm saving from a friend. They need a ton of TLC to reach their color potential.

The one close up is a gem in the making. I can't capture the colors going on in this coral for whatever reason.
