    Rock overhaul experiment.

    So I had a bit of ugly stage and the old rock I was using has a ton of turf on it in no time at all. Thinking about a total rescape with different (and old disgusting) rock that I like the shapes of. My dilemma: Some of these rock bits are small and they are cut to have flat surfaces. Do I...

    Coupon limitations

    So, I need a new printer. Office Max told me that if I 'SIGN UP NOW!' I can get '25% OFF ANY REGULARLY PRICED ITEMS!' What the heck, worth a shot. After signing up I get the exclusions, the coupon from the OFFICE MAX is NOT good for: Technology including computers, printers, etc... Computer...

    Adding dry rock

    So, for all the years I've been in this hobby, I never added dry rock direct to my tank. I'm thinking of replacing one of the rocks in the tank that takes up about 20% of my rock space. Was going to replace it with a piece of Marcorocks Reef Saver premium dry rock. Anyone done this? Bad idea?

    Octopus

    Dropped into Major League Exotics today in chameleon research, they've got a newly arrived octo. Was cool to see. Hopefully they'll not only price him/her out, but will be wary of selling to an amateur (man, I still wouldn't be comfortable with one). They dropped a facebook post...

    Full spectrum food advice

    I do have a few professional (related) degrees, one of which is nutrition (though used as much as a square hockey puck). In the frustration over buying multiple foods, and the delving into the occasional making my own, I figured I'd try to come up with a food I could freeze dry (I have the...

    PISSED

    So, Brick Petco has always been good to us and Andrew, Annie, and the rest of the crew know many of us by name.
