    Need a favor...If anyone lives near Springfield and going to meeting...

    I ordered stuff from PM group buy and one of my bulbs was mistakenly sent South to the meeting. Bill offered to drive it up by me, but I feel he has gone above and beyond himself, especially after seeing the papers of the orders spread out all over the dining room table. So was wondering if...

    The 24.3 lb Non World Record Fluke....

    I looked into the story, after Deb's mention and it appears when it was weighed the face was a bit beat up, then she took the fish home with her to "show" friends and it appears a raccoon or something ate it. This "raised" the eyebrow. Up in the air is a $50,000 In-Fisherman Magazine prize she...

    Prodibio, anyone?

    What are you trying to accomplish in your tank by using the Prodibio products? I know that we all have opinions, therefore I am going to give mine. Whenever I have decided to do something with my tank and asked for opinions, I have always gone to people that use the item I am looking to...

    Yellow Toadstool - not open ?

    Agreed on those two parameters. Leathers are weird sometimes. When I fragged my leather it shrunk up for about 9 days and now its back in full bloom. They will close up and then one day perk up again. As long as there is no visible rotting, give some time to adjust. Remember it has undergone...

    Have we become slaves to parameters?

    Wow, that is a whole lot to take in. In regards to Alk, I check it every 2 days. It is truely one parameter that I am on top of. Have lost stuff to a falling dKH and will not do it again. As for the others, checked weekly. As for temp, I leave it be. I run from 76 - 80 during the day and never...

    The 24.3 lb Non World Record Fluke....

    Reading the ledger this morning and came across this. World Record Fluke that will not make the record books because the woman that caught it made one mistake and broke the IGFA rules. Feel bad for the woman, says she catches a record fluke and the world trashes the crap out of her. Woman had...

    Regal Angel

    This fish is truely a 50/50 hit or miss. My uncle had one and it began to ravage his zoas to the point that he ate them all. Got another and this one began picking at the clam, needless to say he had to remove them. Saw another person drop one in and to date after 2 years no problems. Good...

    Which bulb has the best par

    Sorry Mott, I was afraid I would do that to the post when I gave my opinion. Reviews on the 175 watt bulb. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2005/12/review#h2

    Which bulb has the best par

    No problem Carlo, happy to share my views. The overrated thing is something that I feel. I have seen one too many questions over on RC of new people starting that seem to place all of their focus on bulbs and not pay attention to anything else. If you look around at alot of these online...

    Which bulb has the best par

    Seems that the Iwaski 14K has moved to the fore front on the par scene, but they only make the 175 and 400, which works for you. The XM 10K has always been at the top also with the Actinic supplement. AS we all know the Iwaski 6500 is king, but we all know the issue with the color. What...

    "New" house

    Looks real nice. Destroyed houses thats the norm when buying something that people know they have lost and don't care. Nice work!

    Pygmy Angel vs. Royal Gramma

    Royal Grammas from what I have seen get nasty when they get older. If the gramma is old and has been there some time, it probably has it in for the angel and will not stop.

    think I'm ready?

    During the 4 months did you tank go through and algae cycle? Can you post up some tank parameters? Describe the tank a bit also. Size, amount of rock, skimmer, lighting, flow... As for SPS, SPS demand good water quality and stability. Some a pickier than others. You need to go slow in this...

    clams

    Spawing clouds the water and drives the skimmer nuts but after a while it clears up. Happens about once a year.
