almost forgot, its also very ease to set up two recurring paypal payments as well, one at the old rate and one at the new rate.

just a word of caution, there are a few ways to make the update, and if you aren't careful, you can pay for your renewal before it is due, which is what i just did. :rolleyes: first thing i would do is go to paypal and manage your automatic payments. in there you will see when you are due to...

three or four inches of sand is probably enough for the jawfish. i always let the ones i've kept to excavate their own lairs and they always seemed to try to incorporate some rockwork, like partially under a rock. i've kept diamond gobies and jawfish together without any issues that i recall. i...

maybe drop some reef roids of phyto in there just to see if they are still alive. or maybe the peroxide takes out the mucus nets. i forget which but one of them really seemed to get them in feed mode.

thanks for the details, that seems like a pretty good plan. in the past, mrs. farney and i removed every rock in the tank except for the bottom ones burried in the sand bed and we physically removed every snail we could see with bone cutters and tweezers. on the rocks we pulled out and on the...

so i've had vermetids for a number of years and they are one of several reasons i'm currently working on a reboot of my tank. i'm not sure what i'm going to do to address them yet. i've tried manual removal before and it provides some relief, but they do seem to eventually come back. there are...

Anyone have this book? Looks like mostly a taxonomic/ID guide, with some more recent updates than most of the aquarium literature. And also, not much of an aid or guide for aquarists, but I could be wrong. Just wondering if anyone has it and has any thoughts on it, like worth it/not worth it.

you sir, are too kind. thank you. i'm currently rebuilding a steve's leds install on a red sea max 250, so we'll see how that goes. a 150 mh might work in there too, but i'd be too worried about heat, which is a big turn off on mh for me in general.

all valid points. part of my interest is cost, part results and part experimentation/experience. and totally agree, let's see some science behind this. one aspect i saw presented was not so much that the corals themselves need and use uv, but rather that uv may affect bacteria, algae or dinos...

have seen some recent musings about LEDs lacking UV and many successful reefers that swear by metal halides for long term sps success. it got me thinking enough about exploring metal halides as an option for some of my ever evolving plans with rebooting a tank and/or setting up a frag system...

no one in a club should be misleading anyone. intentionally or not, it would be simple for him to take it back for a full refund. he even got a free cleaning out of it. or if the buyer is happy to take it at a mutually agreed upon adjusted price that fits the actual goods. but its not cool to...

i've never done a bay tank, but i've put mussels, clams and oysters all in a couple different reef tanks and this has generally been my experience. i don't think there is enough of a food source in a reef tank to keep them long term, unless you have a pretty big and/or dirty tank. the exception...

i have no idea if its the right call or not, but nows the time to change the sand if you were considering it. my only experience along these lines is buying a whole tank and contents, so i wasn't swapping out any rock or anything at all, but it was a big move of an established tank. it will...

ugh, get rid of the rock. and i hope i'm wrong, but if you have that many on one rock, i'd bet you have them elsewhere too. i left them on check in a softie tank for a year or more. now i can't get rid of them. about 6 or 8 months ago i removed every rock i could and scraped everyone off i...

looks great, wilson. nice rock too, what kind did you use?

sounds like tomorrow afternoon would be better for both of us. DM sent :)

hi dave, what an incredible collection for corals at the best prices ever! i'd love to take a buttload of these, as i'm a budget reefer and i love what you are doing here. i can do a pickup today between roughly 3 and 4:30pm, or pretty much anytime tomorrow. can i send a list of what i would...

my flame angel was a coral nibbler. seemed to leave the softies alone, but the lps and some sps were not safe. destroyed an acan in a couple days. they may not all be like that, but i won't put a flame angel in another reef again.

just stumbled in here, your fish room is looking dynamite! my family would miss me if had that here at my place. glad to see the anemone has gone to such a luxury estate too, i still have two left that would be envious. i need to spend more time on these boards i guess, and fwiw, i'm not...

these are all spoken for and pending pickup for tomorrow. thanks!
