i think the average person calls it "vinegar". :D my wife and i had an alcohol free wedding and the last time i had a beverage that contained alcohol was when i was 5 yo and trying to sneak some of my dad's "soda" that he had already told me "NO!" <img src="graemlins//eek.gif" border="0"...

yes. i can concur. i've got a f/p and a hammer and they're both doing poorly. the f/p has not extended the polyps fully for over a week and the hammer's soft tissue is receeding. :( is this a problem of lighting quality and/or a supplement problem? <img src="graemlins//confused.gif"...

you might check and see if the f/w area has a recycler.com type of web site/newspaper. i was able to find great deals on good used equipment and have saved$$$$ <img src="graemlins//angel.gif" border="0" alt="[angel]" /> <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" />

okay. how's maintaining the ph and other factors? are you adding calc, kalkwasser, co2 system or any other supplements? :cool:

if you fortunate enough to live in near a home depot that carries"southdown play sand" you'll be able to acquire about 50 lbs. for less than $5.00 per bag. it's aragonite for way less than the reg price that you'll see at the lfs. if not, you'll have to settle for the lfs/ mailorder stuff.

2boys i purchased the large $30 magfloat from the lfs. also purchased the acrylic adapter sock. works well. now if i could only get the boys to do it properly it would all go well.

oh yes. my next tank setup WILL have MH @10,000k and fl/actinics because of the intensity and the color rendition that i like. :)

cleaning mags are great! just look for the ones that float (mag-float) and don't' let your kids use them because mine have dragged them through the sand and caused extra scratches on the acrylic tank. :rolleyes: :( they will cost more than 20-30 bucks @lfs. $29.99 tx on the larger...

free is almost always good. :cool: but, as always, check it out for yourself before you accept the goods, it may save you some frustration in the long run. yeah, i know some people call that "looking a gift horse in the mouth.." but on the other hand, remember the "trojan horse"? good...
