    R.I.P. Sand Dollar

    My sand dollar died last month. I went out to Something Fishy this past weekend to get another. To my surprise, they had one. (It never showed up on their web inventory.) They'd had it for a year, and kept moving it from a sand bottom invert tank to another invert sand bottom tank to keep it...

    Note for GFO HC Users

    I just discovered that Salt Water Aquarium (SaltwaterAquarium - Aquarium Supplies) is carrying BRS GFO HC for a little less than BRS sells it for on both regular and sale prices. Probably true for BRS ROX Carbon too, but I didn't check those prices.

    Very Large Deresas $100

    I hit Something Fishy today. They had some very large Deresa Clams for only $100 each. They looked to be 4 to 5 inches each. I think there were five of them in three different patterns. There was no indication of origin — they usually mark "ORA" if something originated there. I've actually...

    Whoops!

    I really dodged a bullet this afternoon. A had 45 year old angle iron stand self destruct on me. Rust will do that, in spite of several coats of Fletco Ferrothane I gave it when I bought it. It was holding an empty 65 Gallon tank, that is teetering at the mommment. The tank looks OK, but I...

    Shipping Weirdness

    Earlies this week I, and a fellow reefer, placed an fish & invert order with NYAquatic. The dollar total was $400. NYAquatic is in Yonkers. They ship via UPS Nest Day Air for $22. The $22 shipping is less than I would pay for gas and tolls to go there myself - I'm an hour away in North...
