Not sure if anyone can help recommend a company... with the last heavy rain we saw that in one place the water is pouring down at the side of our house & hitting the window (which is also filling with water) thankfully its a newer house and everything is sealed tight so no water is getting in...

Just wanted to wish you luck, I had flatworms in my 50g (a good number of them too) and did not want them moving to the new 70g... I mixed up a strong concentration of FWE in a tub and all rocks/corals went into that for an hour (small brittle stars didn't like it but once they were back in...

We're in the market for an electric toothbrush... has anyone tried both sonicares and oral b's? Reviews for both are great so I'm having a really hard time deciding. Leaning towards oral b I think since the heads are smaller and could likely fit into the back of our mouths easier? Thanks for...

I don't have anywhere to keep stored mixed water so I use a big rubbermade trash can to mix up what I need for the next day's water change... which means I have a big ugly garbage can sitting in my dining room at least a couple days a week LOL I do keep a decent supply of RODI water on hand...

Was it just your lights that were out or all power to the tank? Reefs have cloudy days, items survive just fine for a number of days w/o lights as long as temp is stable and there is circulation. If it was all power to your tank that was out then I am truly amazed that everything is fine except...

ready for this... my first reef tank (first real sw tank for that matter) was a 5g hex marineland deal. Small heater, circulation was through the "filter" that is built in, screw in coralife 50/50 bulb and rockwork almost to the very top (will have to see if I still have a photo). I kept a green...

Mikes an excellent tank sitter (kept my cats alive too LOL) :D

if you don't mind gaukers with children (my 3yr old daughter) watching from the beach I'm in ;) I can bring snacks :D I've been wanting to see what you guys catch since first reading that the tropicals show up here!

depends what kind you want, after you read through the sea of discussions online (here, RC, etc) you might decide like many have that white playsand is just fine. After reading I decided to go with the white playsand from HD/Walmart (blue and white bag, blanking on name right now) which is only...

um hmm... and you guys were making fun of me for saying I wasn't going into any water after the wolf eel photo LOL :D

Oh I want to see, I spent enough time staring at my own empty tanks now I can stare at someone elses LOL Can't see it myself, either because maybe you have it off or because I'm on hubbies macbook? Great to have when on vacation, well maybe not since I'd be checking my tank every hour LOL

I just googled it (I was feeling brave LOL) and to be honest, I find the live ones much less frightening then that head thing, not that I'd care to be swimming around with one ;)

:::warm fuzzies::: The members here are the greatest and always willing to help, going above and beyond, from what I've seen too!

YIKES that's alot of flatworms. I've heard some positive stories with FWE and some horror stories (crashed tank)... if it was me with that many I'd pull the rock and treat in tubs to remove the majority and then dose the tank to get any left behind. The more worms the greater amount of toxin in...

next time I'm asked again how I can love looking at the ocean, walking along it, keeping reef tanks... but refuse to go swimming and am afraid of water I'll forward them that photo LOL

that is amazingly beautiful!

It was a fun project! She helped me make the terrarium up, learned about habitats, camouflage, growth from tadpoles, etc. We caught little ants and bugs and fed them. Let them go last night in the garden after watering really well. They were going crazy eating tons of little bugs in the mulch...

Trop had one today, pricey though... I was to say $59?

He is adorable, glad you were able to hold down the fort while you're wife needed her rest, be sure to keep it up ;) :D Looking forward to meeting your family in person sometime in the future, I have a 3 yr old daughter too so they could keep eachother busy at a meeting :)

There are even more discussions on what type of sand to use so you'll probably end up doing lots of reading before deciding. Many of us (I'm still pretty much a newbie at just over a year, but many of the much more experienced reefers also) swear by plain white playsand you can get for a couple...
