    OMG--they just showed footage from a hellicopter of a family of 4 walking out of their "house" with no apparent injuries. The foundation was completely bare. It is a miracle they survived. You all will be in our prayers tonight.

    55 Reef and 155 FOWLR

    Okay--did u just change your avitar? I like it. I haven't tried to post a video yet, will have to figure it out one of these days. I could tape 10 seconds and basically you would see what he does ALL day long, except for eating time. He would be perfectly happy in a 10 gallon tank. Actually...

    REFRACTOMETER HELP

    I haven't ever figured out why we would use the numbers on the right side---SG/specific gravity parts per thousand. We just always look at the numbers on the left, salinity. I guess I really should know more about using the refractometer. I will be interested to hear what the experts say. I...

    Ugh do I feel like an idiot...

    Many years ago I had an undergravel filter and a canister filter. Technology is much better today and I would not do that again. Your agronite and live rock will cultivate beneficial bacteria just fine if you have adequate water flow. If I remember correctly (could be a long shot there)...

    Ugh do I feel like an idiot...

    Wow Flower...you beat me too it and your post are very clear and complete The only thing I would add is the last time I QT a dwarf angel for 5 weeks and it looked perfect, no signs of any illness at all until I put it into my DT. (the DT had previously been fallow for 6 weeks and all fish had...

    Ugh do I feel like an idiot...

    You may not have gotten a bad deal on the aquarium/equpiment, but you certainly got bad advice. I would be very leery taking advice or buying from them without doing alot of researchon your own first. There is absolutely no need to torture damsels during your cycle. Some live rock or live...

    QT question

    I had a sailfin that was smaller than your powder brown in a 20gal long QT that did not do very well. He survived but was definately stressed. I would not recommend it. Depending on how you decide to treat your fish, they may need to be in the QT longer than 4 weeks. For hypo you need to...

    Is this normal when Vodka dosing?

    Welcome to my world. My nitrates are always well over 80. They are so high I can't read it on my card. I believe that the kit is accurate because we test multiple tanks on this kit and the rest are acceptable. The only shrimp I have lost were due to a fish eating them. All of the other...

    SWF 24hr Sale: Free Mandarin with Copepod Purchase

    It took several weeks for the winner to be announced on mine, but then I got the gift certificate the next day. Seems like they get lost for awhile and then a couple are announced at the same time. I'm sure you'll get it, just maybe not in time for a sale item that you want to use if for.

    I've noticed that when the edit page comes up but won't let you change anything, if you hit edit a second time it then appears to work

    roll the dice

    My tangs have always gotten along well also. I just always figured I got lucky. Lots of things about my tanks have defied logic, but they seem to work so I'm okay with it. FYI--I like your avatar--actually, the dog. Our neighbors have a mastiff also, his name is Winston, he is a great dog...

    roll the dice

    We have had dwarfs together several times and never had a problem. One time we had an established coral beauty and added a pygmy angel, the coral beauty was really upset for about 1 hour and then got over it. Later we added a flame with the same coral beauty and he never even acknowledged that...

    125G Pictoral Diary

    Nice looking tank. What kind of lights do you have? I like the brain with the touch of yellow in it. What is the yellow coral in the last picture? I really like that!

    Got it, thanks. I don't have the lights for sps so I don't know much about them.

    Honestly, if the only tank we had was the biocube, we probably wouldn't be QT either. What is AEFW? I am still new to the coral world.

    nikeSB--I have heard that as well. I am in complete agreement that fish with a healthy immune system can often fight it off but I'm not so sure that the parasite can ever be at a completely harmless level. The reason I am saying that is because my dad had a large saltwater tank for over 20...
