There's no hard rule about this, but generally speaking you want the cheato to be able to tumble around a bit. This provides surface area for nutrient intake and allows light to get to it. Growth is a good sign, so it may not need pruning yet, but you do want to keep it freely moving around in...

The problem with mangroves is the way they export nutrients. Mangroves export nutrients through their leaves, and need to be sprayed daily with freshwater to remove nutrients and promote the growth of the leaves. If the leaves aren't misted, or die off naturally and fall into the water, they...

Thanks! I looked around before writing this and found very little information on the topic, so hopefully it can help some people out. Please feel free to ask if anyone has any questions.

What is a Refugium? According to The American Heritage Dictionary, a refugium is defined as follows: An area that has escaped ecological changes occurring elsewhere and so provides a suitable habitat for relict species. So what does this mean, and more specifically, what does it mean for a...

Nice! I have one of them and they're awesome. Every few days he's collected something new on his back.

And a partridge in a pear tree!

I got a Bosch 2.25HP Combination Plunge and Fixed-Base Router Pack! Now I just have to find some fun and interesting ways to use it! New tank stand perhaps...

I'm actually thinking about a phytoplankton and sea salt soap, but trying to figure out how I can culture the phyto so that it's safe for use.

75 is going well! Thanks. I actually just put an ASM-G3 on it.

Lol... probably... but a hand soap is a smaller soap, so sorta like a frag! So... ummm... free frag of soap with any purchase!

If you can find a shower suction cup mounted rack (like an oversized soap dish) made of plastic, you can attach it and keep the cheato in that. Usually ones made for the shower have drainage holes and provide enough water movement.

Looks like one of those LE feather dusters. Very rare... I want a frag! ;D

FYI... Through the 19th we're offering a free hand soap with any order while supplies last. Still time for shipping before Christmas!

Thanks! I can only hope we get to a point where we need to put in the long hours!

Lol. A lot of the soaps are vegetarian friendly, some vegan friendly. I personally wouldn't eat them, and wouldn't advise it... but hey, can't be much worse than tofu! ;D

We're using fat, lye, deionized water, and other natural ingredients only, doing everything from scratch. We're not using any coloring that isn't natural and FDA approved for cosmetics, even though they don't regulate soap, and we legally could use these. We're also only using pure essential...

Lol! When we started, I said to my wife "With enough soap, you can blow up just about anything" and she didn't catch the reference. I made her watch Fight Club again that night.

Thanks! Need some way to pay for the reef! ;D

I use mine in a reactor. I open the bag and pour it in, then rinse it in the reactor well. Tune the reactor so that it's tumbling slightly on the top, but not turbulent.

So my wife and I both enjoy DIY anything, and started making soap together. After stockpiling more soap than we could possibly use in our lifetime, we decided to open up for business. If you're into cool handmade soap, or need a gift for someone who is, please check out our site. Also, any...
