>:( ARGH!!! Remember how I was just saying a few days ago that it was definitely more than time for me to change my bulbs out? Well, with an only 12" unit, I know I always have to get my stuff special ordered. I kept putting off going through the weekend, and yesterday. So, I run home today...

Crustacean.... I win. :P

Yeah, I'm getting on 8 months now, and there's a scant bit of diatoms starting. Time to change bulbs!

.... *bows in humility* I might have to pick one of those up when I go digital camera hunting. I know I only have a lowly softie dominated tank, but I think it would be fun! Looks great, but where are the livestock? :P

Mixing clowns has no sure-fire trick or 100% answer. Some people have loads of luck, and other people experience nothing but failure. However, more to the point with your clowns, you have two species known for being larger growing and more aggressive clowns. I'd steer clear of attempting to...

Lol. Not that way, silly. Success/failure rates as in times it doesn't kill the aiptasia, as versus insta-death!

It's always neat to hear of different techniques to solving aquarium problems (especially since there just never seems to be any one perfect solution to ANY problem!). I'd be very curious if you could keep us posted on your success/failure rates with this!

Could be worse. My grandpa burned all my uncle's comic collection when he was young, including comics that features first appearances of Batman, Spiderman, Captain American, and Superman. Pop said they were evil (or something like that) and burned them all. My geek heart dies a little bit...

That's what I was talking about (the cyphastrea)! Please, if I had that oxypora, I'd NEVER take the risk of even thinking about fragging in its general direction. Too pretty and unique of a coral to even think about it! Blasphemy to speak of such things! No, such pretty corals need to be taken...

By the by- doesn't Trop just rock your socks sometimes? The last time I went, I ended up walking away with a small wall hammer from their "nano" and "frag" section for $20!!! But, by small, the skeleton's easily 2.5-3" long!!! It's so awesome, and it was such a good buy that I had to...

..... well, when and where?!? With corals like that, even I'M tempted to show up for the first time!!! (although I've run halides in client's tanks and at the shop, none of the corals I love require halides! It pays to love hardy, cheap corals!!!)

I think there's something about reefing that's easier than the hobbby of model railroading, since it takes some serious commitment to expand your tankl. To expand a layout, it can take anywhere from a few to fifty dollars to add a new loop on, or more depending on your set up. I would find the...

I have a feeling that's the colony I'd been eyeing for some time.... it was about the size of a softball or small grapefruit in diameter and in the right coral tank, closer towards the stock tanks and on the bottom row, right? It wa gorgeous if it's the one I'm thinking of, but it was sadly out...

Keep the train at low speed and you'll have no derails! I worked at the Hobby Shop of NJ and helped install the suspended G-gauge layout hanging over the store floor. Fun job! In the two years I worked there before heading to college, we never had a derailment, so long as the speeds were kept in...

Reefdrumz makes an excellent point. There are all sorts of distasteful people out there on the internet looking to, at best, make a quick buck off of trusting people or do some far worse things. I'd definitely say hang out, meet people, get to know people and get them to know you before you...

Like a big, fat, pig of a hungry hippo tang!

I'd volunteer stuff, but, as of right now, all I have to share is just some of Ed's xenia that's overshadowing the "zoa terrace" below it. Sorry. I kind of donated all of my older (*but still totally functioning and in good shape) gear to a friend of mine who never set his tank up. However, if...

LMAO. Nice. I was already thinking about having a trouble-shooting section, but I do think having a visual key for "what-went-wrong" is something many books miss out on having. I mean, think about the worst thing of all, and we ALL do it. Referring to a coral's state of being as "happy,"...

.... give it a few months at the rate everything's going in the pet industry. :P

I need some opinions and advice..... Through a series of random room catastrophies during a sudden urge to retool my portfolio (it happens every now and again when my creative side beats back my logical side), I discovered something disappointing. Reef and aquarium books aren't really well...
