    I had the extra PVC parts. I bought an MJ600 and two CFL floodlights. The screen was less than a dollar at Michael's craft store. So almost $40.

    Earl's 55g mixed reef

    This is the third feeding. The first only my tang, wrasse and royal gramma went after them. I'm really trying to feed my fish better foods lately.

    Thanks guys/gals. I was surprised when the very helpful and knowledgeable people at Wal-Mart had no know idea what I was talking about. I ended up ordering two bags online.

    Pickling Lime

    I'm looking for pickling lime and can't find it anywhere. Ace hardware, ACME, Shoprite and Wal-Mart do not have it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm trying to avoid ordering it.

    I went to The Hidden Reef today and picked up some live black worms. This is my first time feeding worms. Only three of the six fish ate them. I'll try again tomorrow. Well, make that eight fish. I picked up these two little guys.
