Hey you guys. I hope you weather the storm out well and that your families and tanks fare well. Offshore80: something that I have done in the past is to put the boat on the trailer where a tree cannot land on it(learned this one the hard way) and take off tires so you don't pop them then fill...

Having been without power for 7 days before I think I would be looking for a generator asap. Maybe call around inshore a way if there are none left locally. Rich

Offshore and all others. Living in Florida I have been through my share of these things and a couple of big ones at that. If there is any chance you are going to get it start buying now and do not wait. Camplacency will get you no where and people will only take advantage of the fact you waited...

I don't htink I have really recieved bad advise myself from one of my lfs yet. However the one I buy my water at and thus spend a great amount of time in has told some doozies to others. Customer was looking at a juvi Queen angel and a flame angel. Ask guy about them. He asks her how big her...

Nice Jumpfrog. I am also a fan of the SEC. A florida fan at heart I had Auburn picked to go all the way in the Sec and on from there. Glad they finally decided to show up. Rich

it is Banguy who breeds the bangai's. This will bring you back to the top so maybe he will catch the thread. Rich

Yes a Tampa Bay fan and a University of Florida fan. The fish is a wahoo. Rich

Ok my turn. Not the biggest one in the ocean but the biggest one I have caught. Rich

Hey guys I appreciate it. I think Bean has hit it on the mark with the Saddled goby. I checked where they are from and habititat and it fits with where we caught him. thanks again. Rich

Those cudas are everywhere down there. What they are capable of is spooky. Was never scared of one till a couple of months ago when I was by myself looking for lobster and not paying attention to anything else. Looked up and the biggest one I have ever seen was right there. I won't say I was...

Glad to hear it was such a wonderful experience. I have yet to place my first livestock order online but it is soon coming. Pics would be great. Rich

Hey Cidy, you asked wher eI livein Florida. I live in fort Walton Beach about an hour to the west of panama city beach(panhandle) I believe Kip or reef nut said mose poeple place the chiller sin other rooms due to noise. I think this is one of the reasone but another thought was that they give...

we caught one in the atlantic about 4 inches and put in his reef tank. Never messed with anything and ate like a pig. Was neat but kinda stuck to the glass till food was in tank. It grew fast though if that matters and they get several feet long. It was neat though. Rich

Crusty, I am glad that coralife is standing by their products and that you have managed to save most everything. Thank you for posting your experience with coralife it is nice to see someone take responsibility for their product. Rich

Cindy I set my tank up in april. As far as heaters go I have yet to use it but this winter it will be going into my sump. It gets quite a bit colder here than where you live though I think. Alot of people do keep there chillers in other rooms or even outdoors. Just design it into your...

Cindy I would not run out and get it. The only nice thing about getting it right now is you can plumb it into the tank when plumbing everything else. I think if you want the hard corals and clams(any of them) then the 3 250 watt halides are your best bet. Unfortunately everything is a trade...

I will edit previous post. I meant tank shot up to 88 not 78. 78 is where it normally stays. I am not trying to argue with you. I also believe alot of poeple can and do get away without chillers but realistically for Cindy's setup and where she lives I believe a chiller would be a sound...

If you search the do it yourself forum I am sure you will find several posts with pictures and plans of others who have built some awesome looking stands. Rich

No problem on the help. I hope it comes back for you. HTey are a beautiful coral. Joe I think the coral you are referring to is a goniapora. they look very similar but the goniapora has 24 petals on the polyps instead of 12 like on the alveapora. Rich

If nothing is touching it and it has a little space I would quit moving it around. It could actually stress it out more by moving it around too much than by having it in a less than desireable spot. Just give it some time. Rich
