Roger, from Tunze had posted that 50 new waveboxes were shipped to the US. I knew Reef Exotics was one place and as a sponsor of the club - I figured I'd see if I could shop there for one. It took i guess 2 days for Reef Exotics "share" (i guess maybe they got 5 or 10?) to sell out at a retail...

it's weird that you are showing ammonia. Is it possible to bring a sample to Trop and ask them to test for ammonia? Ammonia is typically a sign that your tank is cycling...or your test isn't right.

Was the popcorn at the meeting? Dang I always miss the good stuff. ;) Sorry to hear about your first tank. i've had my share of damsels die and frankly it wasn't a good time. You may say they weren't expensive but back when I had them it was my allowance and frankly regardless of the expense...

thanks guys....i also read prettyboy's new thread...maybe he'll chime in here too. Anyways - I'm thinking of wiating until after the frag swap to purchase a skimmer (maybe an octopus will be raffled! haha). Just doing the research now I guess. It's too bad I can't wait until 2009 when macna...

Ryan - fish tolerate a lot more than inverts or corals. Just because a fish is surviving in a tank -doesn't mean the water is good. An extreme example is placing a fish in freshwater bath/dip. It will be fine for a short period of time. On the other hand - that would probably be lethal to a snail.

nice....i especially like that pic from "the tiler". ;) (that's jasonr...he changed his handle over here).

tank could become extremely cloudy and generally speaking make a mess of your water parameters. http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-05/nftt/index.php http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-12/eb/index.php

^ +1 with regards to the cerith snails - is it possible they are still buried in the substrate? or perhaps some hermits are wearing the shells? Most of my ceriths ended up involuntarily donating their shells to those blue-legged hermits (disregarding all the extra homes i gave them). My next...

we want pictures.... ;D

Thanks James - I've been following your tank thread as well...good info. I know wendy has the octopus recirculating skimmer - and I saw Pistolpete mention the octopus extreme but didn't want to hijack that thread (on asm skimmers) and I know mott just sold a new one (too big for his sump). Been...

LMAO. when i was a kid i loved looking for them as the surf receded.

Anyone have one - experiences? plus? minus? this would be for my 120. thanks! and no i can't afford a deltec thanks. :)

what kind of fish did you order?

David - I'm sure you didn't know this or you wouldn't have suggested it- but I am pretty sure Ryan is underage. Ryan - How's the clownfish? Inverts? Anyways - if you're saying it's a disaster because of the aquascaping - i disagree. I would say take your time. The sandbed isn't destroyed...

I might have missed this - but what kind of skimmer (octopus?) is that and how do you like it? by the way - your progress is amazing! keep posting those fabulous pics!

Wow - neat random fact. I figured almost everyone in this hobby started freshwater...perhaps another thread. You could run a skimmer in freshwater but the bubbles would just keep popping and you'd generate virtually no skim/waste. In other words - it's pretty useless. Of course some skimmers...

hope you don't mind - I sticky'd it here: http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=12332.0

Actually those types of pistols shrimps do not have the symbiotic relationship like the pistols found in the pacific.
