    OT: Tipping on Carry out Orders.

    Originally posted by 007 IMO/E It is one of the most difficult jobs on the market and one of the lowest paid. You have got to be kidding. Working at Burgerking making fast food for 8 hours a day is harder than being a waiter or bartender and definately harder than ringing up bills at a...

    I actually like the look when they get really big so i leave them and then when they get to the size of a really big grape and covered in corraline I attach a knife to the end of my water change hose and pop and suck them out of the tank during a water change.

    Originally posted by Mr Enigma Wow - not sure what to say to that. I guess I wasn't expecting someone to be upset at me for stating opinion. Did you expect him to send the rock back because you said it was not that great and send you a thank you note for being so outspoken when not asked...

    So are you going with 4 VHO's or a mix of VHO and PC's. I have four VHO's on my 125 and I keep leathers,polyps,bubbles, and star coral with other low to medium light corals with no problem.

    Originally posted by elfdoctors Thanks Terry Can ich go through most filtration units? Could the same filters be used? (perhaps in-line with a UV unit?) Otherwise I could also see that another problem with this technique is that you are always using uncycled tanks. :D Would a fish create an...

You are showing ammonia so your tank is doing what it is supposed to do. Your are off...

    Originally posted by cal1tech . A freind of mine who has a tank suggested that I drain the tank clean everything with bleach and baking power.
