John What goes around comes around...Saw an early 60's Amazin' Mets team under Casey Stengel jump up on the Cubs 7-0 after one inning in a new Shea Stadium only to lose 8-7. :( Now, some 23 years later, I witnessed a highly paid Mets team blow a 7 game Sept. division lead in an "aged" Shea to...

I finally had an opportunity to revisit Aqua Oceans after several years and was happy to see that except for his greying hair,to say nothing of my own :'(, Steve (the owner) not only remembered me but he also remains as friendly and helpful as ever. His prices for healthy livestock are still low...

Not Funny..Wonder how they'd feel if prank was played on one of their sisters

Excellent advice Carlo..Given the thick tea colored skimmate, your suggestion that I test for nitrates and phosphates is right on the money...I haven't tested anything except for salinity (for water change purposes) in a long time as the animals "looked healthy" despite the slight green cast to...

Thanks John..Appears that the differences don't warrant concern (at least to me). I'll stick with distilled water as instructed by the mfr. Besides going through that reference material gave me a headache :'( And all for a difference of 0.0006 ::) But again thanks for investigating it for us. Dom

Phyl Skimmer has been on all along and working well, extracting a lot of gunk though it is more on the dark tea side rather than the greenish stuff I was expecting given the excess phyto in the water. Dom

120 and Carlo Was considering using ozone to help clarify my water (135 gals) which has a slight green cast to it resulting from my overfeeding Phytoplankton for a while. I added a couple of bags of Chemipure, did 10% water changes weekly for the past several weeks, and reduced the amount and...

How about Distilled Water bought in the drug stoes?

Hi John Mine is an Auto Temperature Calibration model and I need to add drops os Distelled Water, wait 30 secs. then look into it for a reading of 1.00 on the left scale and/or 0 on the right scale. If above or below that level, I adjust by turning a setscrew with the mini screwdriver provided...

Sam..Trigger Fish could be a Huma (Picasso); a Rectangle: and possibly a Red Sea Assasi. The key is in the side markings which are very different for all three. Go to marinecenter.com. Under their "fish" tab, click "triggers". They have 20+ shown in pictures. Dom

Hi I have a Turboflotor 1000 which sits in my sump but is gravity fed directly from the tank..For the most part, it skims on the dry side yielding the darker brown stuff. I empty and clean the collection cup/riser every 7-10 days. The only time I take it offline is either when I remove it from...

Hi Deb..I have 2 Direct TV High Definition recorders which use Tivo and I like them a lot. They record everything, are easy to navigate and can be left pretty much alone once programmed to your needs. As for Tivo making suggestions based on your viewing habits, this is a feature that can be...

Have been in the shop several times over the past few months and each experience was a good one.. from receiving good advice re certain species of fish, to buying unusually large nassarius snails which I never saw at any other LFS, to receiving a 15% discount baecause of my NJRC membership. I...

Thank You Dana and Ken for your gracious hospitality. Marie and I felt most welcome. Dom

Very true Phyl... a look at a number of pix of Juvy Chrysuruses over several sites, including Carlo's reference, show yellow markings along the outer rim and some fins. I'm guessing that maroon's fish and Carlo's fish are at different ages/sizes or stages of development. How did the Grandfather...

Nice fish Carlo, thanks... maroon's angel looks a lot like it though the Chrysurus seems to have a deeper blue to its body? Dom

I thought I saw this pattern somewhere a long time ago...Check out the markings on the relativrly rare juvenile Chrysurus Angel, a member of the Pomacanthus family (go to several sites on Google)....Also, having seen that reference provided by mfisher2112, I can't rule out the possibilty of it...

Hi Maroon...Do you still have this fish??? I know it is not a juvenile BlueFace nor is it a Juvy Emperor (you're right about that). I'm working on identifying it. Dom

Jcurry...sorry it took a while to RSVP.. I bought the Peppermint from Aquatic Obsessions about a couple of weeks ago. In fact, I also bought the TwinSpot from them several months ago. Both are doing well and eat a variety of frozen foods as well as my own blend of flake foods. They get along OK...

Hi It looks like a Lobo to me. And a beautiful one at that. Dom
