Well, that was fun.
At one point I had to walk away from the computer for an hour as it was getting too intense.
Ended up with:
6 Electric Delights
6 Whammin watermelons
2 Bloodsuckers
2 Scrambled eggs
2 Mandarin Oranges
4 Laser Lemons
2 Posideon's Fury
1 Magician's Paly...

I'm loading up on a ton of zoas, all well below retail (at least 50% off).

My 5c.
I love this place.
Met a bunch of good people.
Have received corals and supplies in amounts that I couldn't afford at times due to generosity of members.
Have donated a load of corals and supplies to other members.
Appreciate all the back office folk do to keep this place up.

Hi all.
Let the maintenance on my tank slide the past month with recovery.
This morning all was OK.
Annnnnnnddd, this evening my shark nosed goby has a cotton wool disease (looks like his skin is falling off) and my wrasse is nowhere to be seen.
Look like I've grown myself a fungus. Drastic...
I have an IM10 'pest tank' and I love it.
2 types of xenia (silver and white), GSP, a few random snails, a 'killer' emerald crab, astrenas, and a few bristle worms.
May as some blue sympodium (though would love to find some blue pulsing xenia).
Have fun with it.
Surge protector is something I don't go cheap on, though I do try to get the smallest I need plus one or two additional outlets for future use, plus I mount them a few inches off the ground (my current ones are sitting on top of a small section of 2x4). I also use grounded wiring/trip sockets...
Agreed 100%.
An empty fuge is useless. A fuge with some rock, a couple of inverts, and some macro, set at an alternating schedule, should, according to sources (as above) help maintain a steady pH which is beneficial to the aquarium.
Theres a few articles, but this is the first I found, antidotal, but probably representative...
The effect of lights on PH Levels - The Reef Tank
Can Lighting Affect the PH in My Aquarium? (consider the macroalgae as the plant/coral)
And a research paper, its based on perfumes but shows how...
I'm on smaller tanks mow, but used to do same as Sobo.
When tank lights go off, fuge lights come on, and vica versa.
Lighting actually has a decent effect on water pH.
A totally dark tank (fuge and main) causes a drop in pH overnight which has to be rebuilt in morning when lights come on.
But...
These guys/gals have been on my radar for a few weeks. I was eventually planning on a pod order to see how things went and offer a review (after the disastrous results with a different vendor).
Then came Memorial Day, and they beat me to it. I received a mail from them.
They wanted to give back...
