    How Pathetic.....

    I'm about as pathetic as one can get! When I hooked up my skimmer and emptied the first cup of scum...I was so amazed that that I actually saved the scum in a pitcher for over 8 hours until my husband got home from work so he could see it. I had never used a skimmer before and was in total awe...

    Happy Unhappy Birthday To Me!!

    You have my sypmathy. I would send a pictire of the dead fish and the defective heater to the manufacturer. You should not have this kind of failure anytime, but certainly not after 5 months. It won't bring your fish back, but it might make you feel better. And if they have any moral values...

    This weeks "Monster" update

    Beautiful! BIG, Are your 4 x 96's power compacts? Does anyone know how this would do under 4 x 110 VHO's over a 120 gal? My local LFS has one... but I am hesitant to buy it given their reputation (the coral, not the store) and also concerns over my lighting.

    Are Clown Fish Jumpers?!

    I had a percula go missing a few months ago. I think I have a manits (or some other evil hitchhiker) and assumed that's what happened to the clown... My tank has a hood with only a tiny space to get out through the back. I never would have guessed that any fish could make that leap. The...
