I have been keeping marine fish for 40 years, and if I have learned anything in all that time, it is that if you do not quarantine you will be known as a "former marine fish keeper" who gave it up because of a dreadful outbreak of something in their tank. It is only a matter of time...

Cycling for 4 months? Your tank should have finished cycling at least 2 months ago. The diatoms are not a problem, but using RODI will deprive them of silicates and they will disappear faster, and permanently.

The Prime you added probably has kept your livestock alive in the face of elevated ammonia levels. Don't worry about the diatom outbreak - they will go away soon - they are a common appearance while a tank is cycling. Since you added livestock early, don't expect a normal cycle - food and waste...

Starfish do not have eyes as we know them. However, they do have light sensitive patches on their arms. As a result, they cannot resolve an image and "see" their world, but they can sense light and dark. This helps them to know when it is dark, and when they are in a shelter. My serpent has...

We,ve been there several times. We stay at Harborside, which is part of the complex, but a 5 minute walk away. You will love it if you don't mind a little crowding, since it can get very busy. There is plenty to do for all the family, and the aquarium exhibits are wonderful. Enjoy!

That's great. Now to go home tonight and set up the quarantine tank. Its a good thing I won my super bowl pool, but that seems to always work out for me. Two years ago I won the pool too, and the next week I found a borbonius anthias at my lfs, and there went the pool winnings. Same this...

For some time ORA has been posting about the availability of red mandarin dragonets. There is an online vendor who says he has them, but I would much prefer to get mine from SWF due to my past experiences with you guys. Will you be selling this beautiful fish, and if so, when?

You are all relying on the Guradian article, which is not the primary source of the information. In fact, the title of the Guardian article, "The Himalayas and nearby peaks have lost no ice in past 10 years, study shows" is not what the original article in Nature says, which is that the loss of...

The Hiren's download has hundreds of utility programs on it, and there is no reason to actually load them onto your computer. Instead, if you follow the instructions on the site they will help you to burn the CD, or put the package onto a portable flashdrive (as Slice does). Many viruses and...

You can find everything you need to clean up malware/spyware/viruses etc. here. download the file, make a CD with it and you will have all you need booting from the CD so that no malware can prevent your going to an internet resource to get what you need. I couldn't survive without hiren's.
