    Sea Hare for adoption Gone

    Big thread edit. Complete re-write... Have 2 big 'dwarf' sea hares. They're so ugly they're adorable, in a slimy monstrous way. As most shop dwarf hares I've seen are tinyish, I picked up 2 to raise them for a bit on algae and nori, adopting one out when it got a bit larger. They arrived full...

    GFI outlet or not? Help please.

    So, in a store and encountered an electrician as I was searching for a GFI outlet. Discussed the setup of the tank and that I wanted protection in case the outlet got wet. He suggested that a GFI was a bad idea. If there is any type of power surge, the GFI will kick out, all fish dead. He...
