Your photos look better than the pictures of any of your competition. So, I'm eating my heart out yet again....

BTW... Are you planning to use the reverse functionality on the DOS? Reverse is the only thing on the DOS that would cause me to buy one.

The differences between Phyto-Feast or Phyto-Feast Live, as described on the Reed Mariculture site, seem to be clouding my brain. (Maybe they need a better copywriter?) It seems to me that the loading of your cooler will be a daily process, unless you have reason to believe that the...

Have you tried holding it together with silicone or EDPM bands? Don't try with plain rubber bands - saltwater eats them up.

Did you lose the gasket on the one that's coming apart?

Do you want to use Phyto-Feast or Phyto-Feast Live?

Sorry to hear about your trimming incident. The worst I seem to do when electrically trimming my forsythia is to accidentally sever the power cord, releasing some blue sparks and some blue smoke. You'd think I'd learn, but I've managed to do it three times now (doh?).

I got into the hobby in 1970, after the Army let me go. In the mid 1960s the Aquarium Stock Company ("Aquastock"), in lower Manhattan, was selling Blue Devils and Perculas, and I was hooked. So, I built myself a plexiglas tank in 1970 and have kept saltwater specimens ever since.

I'm in Essex County - a little south of I-80...

You really can't blame a Lemon Peel, or any other fish for that matter, for being hungry. If a fish can look under something movable for a tasty amphipod, it will go ahead and move that something. Fish aren't fools...

I hit them this afternoon with my "Golden Ticket". Much to my surprise, I was actually rather unimpressed. My shopping list included (1) a half-dozen Carib Blue Reef Chromis (for a school). There were none to be had. (2) A Fowleri or Dussumieri* Tang, but none were to be had. (2) A medium...

Anyone seen any odd nudibranchs lately in any NJ LFSes? I don't want berghia or lettuce nudis. Any others shouldn't be imported, but some of us don't do out homework when buying fauna. There are lots of nudibranchs that actually eat hydroids. I'd like to try to find one. I'd also like to...

For those of you who have/had hydroids, what color are/were they? I've had two previous infestations, and they looked like a fuzzy white film on my rock. This time they're green. They also have an odd reaction when I touch them - the polyps of those in a 1" radius of the touched ones all very...

Yeah, Fenbendazole does work, but it also takes out gorgonians, worms, snails and who knows what else. I'm in the middle a long thread on the subject on R2R. I think the weirdest observation is the claim that you can't get it out of your tank, even with carbon and WCs, and it will continue to...

For the Jellyfish afectionados among us, here's a specimen for those of you with a larger than average Kreisel tank:

I find it a little hard to believe that hydroids can come in with decapsulated brine shrimp eggs. You need to soak brine shrimp eggs in a bleach solution to remove their capsules, and I doubt hydroids could survive that regimen. (Here's a decapsulated DIY from Brine Shrimp Direct: What are...

Mark, Have any interest in a Tunze Aquawind fan that is used for "evaporative cooling"? (Here's a link to the current version ~ https://www.amazon.com/Tunze-USA-7028-900-Evaporative-Aquariums/dp/B001DC827C.) Mine is the original version, not the current one. I turned it on to test it when I...

I think "biofilm" is the term used in early Blue Linkia descriptions. (Curiously enough, an example of biofilm is your very own dental plaque!) Here's some anecdotal data for you: Twenty-odd years back I had a friend who ran a part-time importing and wholesale business. (Pick up a...

I give up, what's their "known" diet?

What's a "meeting point"?
