Greg, you actually managed to put a tiny smile on my face with your first comment. Thank you and Bax for your generous offers to provide frags if I ever get back into it. You guys are awesome!! I also want to thank everyone else for your encouraging words. Like I said earlier, this was a hard...

Yes, the tank is sold. I tried holding on to it very hard, but my back hasn't been holding up at all. I have a herniated disk in my lower back, and it's made tank maintenance pure torture. I'm not a pill popper, and refuse to live on pain killers. I've weighed my options. Alex has been lugging...

Well I don't have any anemones, but my stonies certainly thrive. :) Yes, I think this lighting is great for a 120. All my Blues come on at 9AM, the rest of the lights come on at 10:30. Main lights go off at 6:30PM and the Blues go off at 9PM.

I personally don't care if the meat's imported or not, and no, I'm not from Philly, but Alex is, and I had my fair share of Philly Cheese Steaks. PAT's!!! All the way. Oh yummy yummy yummy!!! ;D

Nah, I never switched, Taz. I really do love the ATI bulbs. :)

Rant me out if you want to, but I'm gonna say it nonetheless: Total overacation! You don't actually know WHAT you saw. It may be harmful - but it may also be harmless. When acquiring live rock you always take the change of potentially putting something "harmful" into your tank. Please don't...

Well I'm neither a skier nor a snowboarder, but my oldest son, who is attending East Stroudburg University, started snowboarding 2 years ago. ESU is only 2 hours from us (Howell), so it's not far. Yes, it's in the Poconos Mountains - VERY beautiful up there. :) ...oh....and the slopes have opened.

Super sweet! But you're a big tease, Merv. You know we need more pics, right? ;)

No, none of my bulbs are overdriven. I'm using the regular Tek lights Ready Fit Retros, 8 X 80Watts. Plenty of light for my tank. :) Can't wait to see your tank full of corals. You picked up some really nice additions, too.

Gosh that is one beautiful tank, Rich! LOVE the lights. Are you happy with them? Did you feel the need to put sunglasses on when they all turned on? ;D

Wow, what phenomenal growth!! Love it!! Superb looking tank AND fish ;D

Hang in there! You can beat these suckers! Don't get discouraged, please. Kudos to you for going through with the Q-tank. I know how much work this is, but as long as you don't give up, I'm sure your corals will reward you.

Jon, read this: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=863.0 And good luck! Believe me, dosing Interceptor is a piece of cake, and your corals will thank you. ;)

I battled them a while back. And yes, the approach of blowing them off may not be 100% effective, but I haven't lost a single coral to AEFW (knock on wood). Those corals of mine that I was able to remove and dip in Revive received exactly that treatment - repeatedly, I might add. But I also had...

Thank you very, very much Jim, John, Rich & Brian. I am so in love with my new additions. Yesterday, when I did my weekly waterchange I kind of went a little overboard and tried to really clean up the corners and the back to the best of my ability. Took a while, but it was worth the effort. :)
