Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I went halide for shimmer and for the cost effictiveness. I have a relatively small tank (29g) and my 175w setup cost me under $100. Of course, I built the hood myself...
I know hindsight is 20/20, but you should NEVER introduce a fish directly into your display tank.
QT ALWAYS...doesn't matter who you buy it from or where you get it...
Now I assume your tank is a reef tank, in which case the only way to get rid of ich is to let the tank sit fallow (without...
Hey Mike,
In a recent bout of 'what do i want to do when i grow up?' I thought of the marine bio thing too. It's a very interesting science, but from what I understand, jobs are scarce and for the most part, pay even scarcer.
Anyway, just my 2 bits. If you do it, more power to ya!
Honestly, I don't buy the Hydor markeneering. I mean, I know they move water, but I'd be willing to bet it's not nearly as much as they say.

Good pumps, but don't buy...
Well, on the flip side, it gets even a few of them out of the ocean, they don't need to eat for like 6 months at a time, and they could be potential food for some harlequins.

Gotcha. So its not that they're problematic, it's just that you don't like them.
I was a little confused as I'd always thought they were harmless filterfeeders that actually do more help than harm, and whose population would ebb with the available foodstuffs.
I just looked at your mac...
Of course, the funny thing is, when you actually want them to move, they don't.
I had to litterally take a rock down into the garage and beat it with a hammer till the dang thing flopped out onto the floor to get one to let go.
I haven't heard for a while, but I think that one's still kickin'! ;)
I've actually notice the hair algae thing too. Everytime I do a water change I just yank that crap out...but it always comes back, but only on the GSP mat.
