    question about clams

    Is it dersa or maxima that are the pretty purple/blue? Is it the dersa that is easier to keep than the maxima? With my new ATI lights, are they strong enough to penetrate down the 20" or so of water to keep a clam? I have several frags of zoos on the bottom as well as some rics down there that...

    first new addition that will live

    I am still sitting in the car on my way back from one of the many LFS near me. When I found out that they were having a sale on coral, I had to get something. I got my wife the birds nest she has been wanting for a while. I am kicking myself that I don't have more $ on me. All of the coral...

    Fragging Xenia

    So my local reefers club did the demo of how to frag xenia with my rock. Someone said that they took a video of how to do it. I havent seen it posted yet, just pics. From what I can see by my rock, it looks like they just cut the rock where the xenia was to get it off. Is there a way to get...

    Ocean fun

    Took the kids and missus to Narragansett beach yesterday in RI for some ocean fun. Kids had a blast and the missus went in knowing that there wasnt anything in the water that was harmful to her. The beach was really nice and big and full of people. There wasnt that sense of overcrowdedness...

    What happened?

    So, i have had my first fish on fish attack, I think. I was looking at the fishies the other day and noticed a mark on my orchid near the start of the dorsal fin. It looks like something tried to take a bite out of him. What is really wierd is that I havent seen anyone really picking on...

    Coralife Digital power center

    So I will be going on vacation soon and I have someone who is available to come feed the fish once a day. I purchased a replacement of these 'timers' since the last one shorted out when water got in it. I thought I set it up properly but when we got home from the fireworks, the lights were...

    I know that when I do my testing, its always over the tank and I make sure to get the chemicals to always go into the test tube without fail. Thank god the national chain, petfart, showed me I was doing it right.

    Shipping surcharges

    If the cost of doing business has gone up, why not raise the price? I dont understand why companies use surcharges as an escuse to not raise prices. If it costs more to ship stuff around, just raise the price. If it used to cost $35 to ship stuff to a customer and it now costs $40, then...

    Roses

    Our rose bushes are in bloom. I have no idea how many there are but there seems to be way more than I can appreciate. The first pic is of the bush to the left of the door and is the older of the 2. It was a mom's day present many years ago. This one is newer and was a mom's day gift about 4...

    For my FW friends

    What is a cherry shrimp? Went to a LFS and saw they had quite a few of them in their tank. They looked really cool and kinda small. I was wondering if I got a pair of them if they would be ok in my daughter's tank. Her current inhabitants are: Micky Platty Neon Tetra Green Cory Cat Panda...

    Rear Brakes

    I did the rear brakes on the missus Honda Odyssey amd came across something I hadnt seen before. The rear rotor was a combination of disc and drum. I dont have a spring compressor so I just did the disc part. I confirmed that the drum part was just for the parking brake so I feel fine about...

    When Huskies Explode

    I know you gotta tilt your head a little, but man. And this doesnt show the fur that was in the tub or what came out during the prebrushing. I believe this is all just from the drying process.

    Mandarins

    In about 5 days, it will have been a months since I "seeded" my sump with copepods. There are still plenty in the sump (pepps not eating them) and I am counting plenty of the glass. If you go with the assumption that for each 1 on the glass you see, there are atleast 20 on the rocks you cant...

    New (for me) food

    Has anyone tried the IO grazing blocks? There was a free sample in the IO reef crystals bucket I got for $45. I thought that I would try it since Falcor devours the algea clip every day. I took it out of the package and it seemed a little slimey. I put it into the tank on some rock, as...
