Where are uou located- the bounce looks great> I'm an idiot- Cherry Hill

I am always looking for new things to fill up my tank- LF's are overpriced, but I've found that Mike in Parsippany ( you can find him on craigslist) has a lot at reasonable prices- starting at $5 for some- I think sps start at $10- there are larger at $20/30/40, shrooms at $15per head- a lot of...

I'm on medicare, so I don't have to worry anymore

The last few years I was with the 'get covered nj' lower cost for insurance and then geting hit with thousands owed with the IRS every year now that it's over I finally owe nothing this year and I treating myself to some corals

I've found when fragging certain leathers- ones that don't attach quickly on there own like nepthia and sinularia, most use rubber bands to attach it to rock. Problem is, a frag as thick as a finger quickly becomes thinner than a pencil. So when using a rubber band the frag will blow up and then...

I'm a firm beleiver in healthy tank/ healthy fish and corals. I also beleive that stress has a lot do to do with illness. Many get sick when taking a plane- I think it's more about stress than being exposed to germs/ viruses. In over 4 years I've never quaranteed fish., never had any problem...

I've had a sponge in the overflow chamber since the beginning, it looks like white tree roots. I just noticed recently that it's almost gone. There is a huge asterina star in there- coincidence? Or maybe the asterina eats sponge- the walls are covered with spirobid worms and there are some...

Big woop- just like any other cloudy day 99% Yawn

I should add that Oasis did have fish I never saw in any other LFS- like scorpian fish

i have to agree with @Salted. I stopped by once by myself- they just got a shipment of fish and were so excited they didn't even know I was in the store. Second time was with Tom, 3 of them never left the counter, even when we had questions- corals were overpriced, same with fish. I prefer to...

I'm so glad to find other local reefers and spending time hanging out, talking tanks, corals etc and getting great deals is a big plus. My day trip/ hanging talking stuff and sharing coral buddy @Salted and I went to @Bear82's house today. I got a great deal on a couple of corals- think Tom did...

That black stick seems to be getting color and signs of branching out-hope enternal
