Yep, other big conference is iMac. Its already happened this year, wont be back till June 2007 in chicago. Ive never been to it so I cant give a first hand reference.

I went to the one in DC last year, it was a great time. Lots of corals for sale, new product demos, great speakers. Im actually part of the planning committee for this years :)

Its the biggest Marina Aquarium Conference . Sept 22-24 . Not sure if I can post the url here, but do a search for MACNA XVIII :)

Just curious to see who all is coming to MACNA this year in Houston?

IME LTAs find a spot and stay put much better than BTA's. They can and do move, but dont seem to be near as finiky as BTA's.

A little off topic, but make sure you research seahorse - coral comaptibility some seahorses are very sensitive to some coral stings.

It would be best to wait until you see the spike in ammonia and nitrates, and they return to 0. Through in some more krill if needed. Odds are your tank hasnt cycled yet.

Couple of questions: 1. Whats the temp of the room? 2. What kind of lights on the tank? 3. Do you have glass lids on the tank?

While it will keep evaporation down, it will also keep heat in. Evaporative cooling can be a big help to our tanks.

What kind of anemone. How deep is the tank?

You install it in your sump. You plug your pump into the float valve, when the water gets below the place you set (With the valve) It cuts electricty to the pump, preventing it from burning up.

Actually according to Icecap they say T5's will last you up to 2 years on their ballasts.
