    seaclone vs prizm

    I have a prizm for my 55... it is very good! You just need to find the exact setting for the valve (or else NOTHING or WAY TOO MUCH comes out...) Once you find the best setting, it works wonders.

    Anyone here from the DC area?

    Where does everyone shop for the fish stuff? I go to Wally's in Annandale and The Reef Tank in Herndon. DO NOT GO TO Superpetz in Annandale or Roozens in Maryland!

    Star Polyps

    I recently got my first coral in my tank from my LFS for free! (It is a small rock that had 3-4 little Yellow Star Polyps on it at the LFS) Well, he took it out, bagged it, then I took it home, and put it in. Taking a coral out of the water to put it in a bag is ok right? (Probably around 5...

    The marks were made by me. He was perfectly fine, except for 1-2 scales missing on the side facing the camera.

    One of my fish died.

    Well... my other original fish passed on today. The exact same symptoms as the other one, however this one had a scratch on his side. I took a look under the scratch.... and found a weird black thing that let out green stuff. It had just died when I did this. His condition deteriorated...

    One of my fish died.

    My ***** fish are much better than the ones from the other place.... the people there are good with fish too. The fish get proper care. The one from the place in MD is the one that died.

    Octopus?!?!

    DO NOT BUY OCTOPI! The survival rate into the LFS is less than 1%, and of that 1%, only 1% will live, and usually only a year or so. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THESE!
