    Where in NJ to get a hedgehog?

    http://www.hamorhollow.com/ They're in NH, but I've seen advertisements of theirs that state they service NJ. Worth a shot.. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but maybe they can also refer you to someone they know down here... Found it in their signature on the following link. It's a...

    Is that Joe Clarks school? I remember that from the movie... "They Call Me Crazy Joe" is that THE school from the movie??

    So Aggrevated! Thinking about going Bare Bottomed!

    No, I've never tested for silicates. I guess I could try that... As far as flow, I've probably got too much in most areas. Hard to get it where it's all getting hit just right. I've got 2 powerheads in the tank now ::) Adding a 3rd....ugh...

    So Aggrevated! Thinking about going Bare Bottomed!

    I guess it's just the Tank-OCD kicking in. Mine is nowhere near that stage. It's just starting to show up on the aragonite here and there. Love the shrimp ;)

    So Aggrevated! Thinking about going Bare Bottomed!

    Thanks Phil. Honestly, It was more for asthetics, but I'm thinking about maybe syphoning it out little by little then just stopping at some point, leaving a thinner layer, to see if it cures the problem. If not, yanking it all out. Could obviously still grow with no sand and that would...

    So Aggrevated! Thinking about going Bare Bottomed!

    Cutting board, aye? Hmmm... I thought it might be cool to have GSP's across the entire bottom. LOL Now I'm going to panic mode because I just re-checked and it doesn't look as red as the first cyano outbreak I had. It honestly looks more like diatom but it does have cyano characteristics... I...

    So Aggrevated! Thinking about going Bare Bottomed!

    I'm 0 or less than .5 so it doesn't really register on Nitrites, Nitrates Phosphate & Ammonia, around 420ish on CA, dk8, 1.025. I top off a few times a day with RO rather than once a day to try to keep from swinging too much. Temp is 79-80. I'm a water quality freak so I test several times a...

    gsp question.

    Dang, you're like an Underwater Bobby Flay :) I'll have to try that sometime. I got some GSP's from adesimone1 and they were doing FANTASTIC until I changed lights and they got very annoyed ::) They've since acclimated and are doing Fantastic once again. Maybe there was a difference in the...

    So Aggrevated! Thinking about going Bare Bottomed!

    I use a 6 stage RO with Dual DI. I've got a TDS (calibrated) so I'm hoping it's not my RO :) I use the same water in my wife's 29 BC and her sand is CONSIDERABLY less and she's not been having any of these issues. (yeah, believe me...she reminds me) I mean, it doesn't look horrible by any...

    So Aggrevated! Thinking about going Bare Bottomed!

    Understood, but there's also no such thing as a 29 gallon ocean either ;) Sticking "the ocean" into any tank smaller than the size of an ocean, without the same natural ecosystem, natural top off solutions, natural filtration system, natural lighting, etc etc will result in a change of...

    So Aggrevated! Thinking about going Bare Bottomed!

    Very good point. Currently I have all corals, no fish. Idealy, I just wanted to keep 1 or 2 clownfish (Percula or similar variety) and that would be it. I wasn't looking at much else... Assuming that I stick with that plan... ugh... I dunno. Just aggrevates me to see anything other than...

    So Aggrevated! Thinking about going Bare Bottomed!

    I'm sick of a couple things in my nano, and I'm thinking of going bare bottomed. I realize there are some threads out there on it. I've more than likely read em. I'm not overly enthused about the look of a bare bottom and was against it, until...I saw Billy's Tank and saw how the coraline grew...

    That's funny you should say that, because they tried telling me the 1st time I went in there that they supply most of the other area lfs's! ::)

    Cool Paypal Alternative - No Fees

    Hey, I just wanted to pass this on. Might be of use to some... My wife frequents some Work at Home Mother boards and ran into a PayPal alternative that is fee-free :) Thought I'd pass it on to you guys as I see some good in it. It's called Revolutionary Money Exchange. They're running a...

    I've got the AquaChef by current. Although, I've never used it so I can't really vouch for the functionality of it. I other day andwas looking at it the it seems to be well made. It's made by the company Current. If you're local and ever want to put your hands on it to see how it's made...
