yes proof positive that I am a cheap bastard, I went to a local pet store and raided their rubble pile where they throw all their D.O.D. frags (dead or dying) got a fair price on these 10 most likely not going to survive pieces. a couple should pull through but most of em are a gonner, but all...

I like the standard naso personally.

ok the bubbles kill fish thing is WAY over rated and over stated. for there to be enough bubbles to kill your fish, first it would have the be a persistent cloud of microbubbles that would make the tank appear milky for an extended period. You would literally have to make your tank unview-able...

they have not done a cat scan yet. They were hoping the OMT therapy may kick something loose to avoid excess radiation to the brain. but its now 3:30 am I slept for a whole 4 hours before the headache woke me up i swear if they don't figure out something soon i'm going to lose my frikken mind.

Yeah, im not taking that much on a regular basis, thats what they gave me in the hospital. I'm only taking 500mg every 12 hours or so to knock the edge off the headache, as per drs orders.

no my blood pressure is normally fine, at the hospital the other day it was 117/78. but he was trying to see if the BP med would help the headache just went into an appointment, and my blood pressure spiked a bit to 145/77. Honestly I don't know what some one squishing your head, driving their...

Pegasus pretty much nailed it down as to the why's and why not of mixing. I don't think I could have explained it as succinctly. I tend to ramble.

I tend to keep hermits in the sump but not many in the DT a couple tiny ones maybe but usually none that are big enough to knock over frags.

Oh I also keep it up to temp as well, I just double check the S.G. before use because the longer you store it the more evaporation you get and after long periods it tends to need some fresh water added to replace evaporated water.

yeah, I leave it circulating so it is oxygenated if I need to use it in a hurry. oxygen levels drop fairly quickly in stagnant water.

The doc gave me a blood pressure reducer and some other pill thats supposed to help but all they do is make me tired.

yeah, beth day 12 or something like that, I've lost count. I still have a headache, left arm, shoulder, neck, chest and back pain, run out of breath walking up the stairs, and any activity makes the headache worse. I've had several tests with the cardiologist and we are doing more I get my heart...

I don't see how it could be, as long as no contaminants are getting in to pollute it (I keep a loose lid on my already mixed water to keep dust etc out but still alow air exchange), marine water is fairly stable without outside influences.

and yes the light color you see is almost exactly the same as it appears to the naked eye. definitely closer to 10k I don't have much hope that its going to burn in bluer, usually they start out very blue when new and burn whiter over the burn in period.

well they certainly didn't waste any profit on packaging. Scary moment, the inner box is smashed almost flat... really?!? who the eff doesn't use a hard cardboard tube to ship halide bulbs? Surprisingly the bulbs works but I am definitely complaining to the company it was obviously abused...

I try to do it at least 24 hours or more before hand, but if its mixed I'll let it sit indefinitely until I use it.

t5-HO those are high output t5's but with only 2 bulbs your still in the low/medium low, light range. you might be able to keep some less demanding sps like montipora digita or cap. but you should be safe with most LPS and softies. I wouldn't recommend anemone though, they generally require...

the rock with the foriminiferans and found this little guy cruising the glass a minute ago. He's about 3/16th of an inch long if that. life on the big reef ahh I missed my marine tanks.

good method I have done that for a long time (marking how much to drain for waterchanges on the side of the tank) it saves a ton of guess work. I do it the same way too, shut off the return pump, let everything drain/settle, mark full level when off, remove x amount by measuring, mark, refill to...

Waiting for the mail to arrive...... the bulb is supposed to be here today. sooner is better but the mail usually arrives around noon or later here. I can't wait to instal the bulb and fire it up so I can adjust the height and figure out if I need to set up some sort of glare shield so we...
