amazing - are they escape artists like other eels?

stewie, or whatever your name is (lol) - have you measured your alk?

yeap - the Sea World Discovery Cove in FL also has that policy as I understand it. I guess when you have people dumping dirty sewage and what not into the oceans - sunscreen seems like a minor issue. But I figure it's an easy thing for us, reefers to change and impact.

I heard about this and started to do a google search. Article from Jan 2008 http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/01/080129-sunscreen-coral.html In a nut shell, the researcher theorizes that: Four commonly found sunscreen ingredients can awaken dormant viruses in the symbiotic algae...

HOB refugium.

i picked up bulkheads for my AGA 120 from AqOb - also slipxslip. Here's a pic of some of the bulkheads underneath my tank: here's an answer on the sizes from panmanmatt: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=7547.msg71906#msg71906 You will probably need...

is that with or without LR? ;D oh i forgot to mention - if we really want to mimic say Jersey Shore - we should drop in a gallon of suntan lotion. :P :o Speaking of which - Paul B (or anyone)- is sunscreen really that bad for the reef environment?

The PFO (now defunct) Solaris LED has progamming that allowed for cloudy days etc. The Tunze Controller has a setting for wave / pulse action - but also "storm action" whereby all pumps are activated. Even so these features do not truly mimic the ocean as we all know.

waaaay cooler? This i have to see. btw - what's the music in the last vid? My wife and I find it familiar but we couldn't quite place it.

Probably should go into the useless category. I wanted to find something where I could use a pair of tongs to grab items or move items without having to put on the shoulder-length gloves. I thought a 30" pik stik tongs would be great. The stupid design fills the tongs up with water (making it...

Just read about that loss - I'm sorry to hear that. I thought you were able to sell it as I saw the FS ad. Will you be replacing it with a new helfrechi now that the damsel is gone?

length 48" depth 18" height: 20" on the 75, 24" on the 90.

a 120 is ideal for those who have 48" fixtures. A 125/180 will require a longer 72" fixture. All of them have the same height. 120/180's are 24 inches front to back. The 125 is 6 inches shorter front to back. Personally I'd choose a 120 over a 125 and a 180 over a 120. With the lighting...

fyi try to squirt it outside the tank if you can. The anemone will turn white and never appear again. I've never tried dosing chemicals directly in the tank. Even though it's a tiny amount (relative to the volume of water) - you just never know (even if they say it's reef safe).

is this the 150 cube with 36" depth and with starphire glass? That looks fantastic. It's too bad the overflow isn't in the back so that you could make it viewable from 3 sides.

i agree the LR has cycled already. The 3 brown zoas - sorry for the dumb question but you're sure they aren't aiptasia/anemones right? Asterinas - I remove them here and now but unfortunately the LR I purchased was infested with them. I've seen gorgeous tanks infested with them also - so you...

nice set up - what kind of skimmer is that?

There were 3 horseshoe crabs - one rightside up - the other two on their backs. She even picked up the one on it's back to show a kid -then put it back on it's back. ??? I realize it's a summer job - but it would be like getting a job walking dogs and insisting that the dog use cat litter. I...

I went in yesterday with low expectations. Conversation that transpired between me and the touch tank worker. me: "why are those horseshoe crabs on their back"? Her:"THAT IS HOW THEY SWIM" I dunno what it was - but her authoritative way of saying this ticked me off to no end >:(. My wife...
