    Do we really know what we are doing?

    I wish everyone could see a documentary movie about how a swf gets to the store. Isn't the plot of Finding Nemo actually about rescuing him from an aquarium?

    How Venomous is a lion

    I dont know about those drarfs, but a Volitan got one of our guys at the warehouse right in the back of the hand. Have you ever seen a 6'2" 210# fireman cry like a baby? How bout a hand easily mistaken for a red balloon? Those aren't nearly as funny as the look on the emergency room personels'...

    Sorry, I keep forgetting I worked at a distributor. I'd just rescue the little ones till they were big enough to hold their own in the stock tank. C'mon, just get a Beta.

    Wet/Dry power outage?

    If you scoop the water out of there and exchange it with tank water it will stay alive. It doesnt work as well as when it's running obviously, but a little. You can feed it as well.

    2 part question

    You'd be amazed at what "comes back to life". My boss bought an entire shipping container of puka shell gravel, tiny 1/8' ones in 25# bags. they sat in the trailer in the blazing sun a summer and we finally sold it as a holiday promotion. A week or so later the LFS owners started calling because...

    The good LFS thread.

    Salty Critter Vermilion OH, 44089 I put a message in the Cleveland section of another board asking about best LFS and people as much as 3 hours from this store will go nowhere else. Great looking stuff and smart workers. I didn't list their site here because they do ship and would be considered...

    Live Rock Curing

    I used to do mine in garbage cans. I put the rock in plastic milk crates and stack them in the cans. I had a PH near the surface with a hose on the outlet to the bottom. I cut the bottom off of a 2 liter pepsi bottle and rubberbanded a net to it to grag the slimey stuff. I leave it in for 2...

    OK to use tap-water in quarantine tank

    RO is better. Since you may medicate this tank, the less there is in the water to affect the meds the better.

    Do we really know what we are doing?

    Working at a distributor I noticed something right away about lfs owners, they either know everything about fish or business, rarely both. We had a sale on 10 galon tanks, 5.25 each. One of the rare smart businessmen/experience hobbyist sold them for $4.99. Some other stores accused us of giving...
