    5 part identification quiz....and some specific questions.

    Thx Ace! I did see another thing that could be a FD I guess. It looks different that the one I posted in that it is more upright (maybe 2 mm fully extended) and sort or looks like a palm tree :D It also retreats, but into something I can see (unlike the one in pic 3), a little green nub...

    Fresh or cured live rock???

    Dia-new tank. Thx for the responses! My first thought was the LFS. Prices per # average about $8 here in Northern California. While that is double the average for MO, the real issue is that in eyeing their stock I can tell that it generally spends very little time curing-it seems that their rock...

    MO Sources of Live Rock

    Within the next week I plan to populate a new 50G tank with live rock. I've been to a number of online sources for LR (Marine Deport, FFE etc.) and was wondering if anyone out there would be willing to share their experience with purchasing LR MO. Where did you buy your LR? How happy were you...
