    A 25 year personal story, with an odd ending

    The official motto of the USCG is 'Semper Paratus', or, 'Always Ready', a fitting motto for a response service. But, with the risks of operations, especially in those early days where we (they) would roll out in wooden longboats, and through a written piece of legislation stating the USCG 'HAD'...

    Tigs, Sorry, my bad, thought it was 60. It was primarily used on my 65g shallow reef (old tank) for a few weeks until I got a mandarin, then I removed it as I was afraid it would diminish the pod population in such a small tank. Didn't use in the 90. Seemed to work fine on the 65. Russ, Package...

    A 25 year personal story, with an odd ending

    Back in my youth I had dreams of saving people in any way I could. I took the most direct route available and joined the Coast Guard. Upon testing, I qualified for aviation, and after boot camp in Cape May I was off to USCG Aviation Training Center North Carolina. Spent the better part of a year...

    astrinas are generally harmless. i had loads in my tank with no ill effect. I got a harlequin not to control the population but more for the fact i wanted a harley. With my transfer to a smaller tank Ive brought a few astrinas over with the rock. Also have a serpent star. The harley didn't make...

    If you can see one, you have scores and you'll soon have tons of them, but you'll only see the odd few. A harlequin will wipe them out over a week or 2 but it will prefer the larger stars.

    I might be loosing the whole tank tonight

    Sorry to hear. I've run salinity changes more drastic with no concerns. As Sunny said, heaters? Manually check with a termometer if you can (i do manual checks with my bbq thermo). Did dosers overrun? Something broken or shorted causing elec current? Did cuke die? I had a cuke die and had 12...

    To UV or Not to UV that is the question....

    Timing is interesting. Last night I pulled out an old UV to put in the nano and it doesnt fit, so I'm heading out today to buy a biocube unit. So, I have a Green Machine I was running on a previous tank. While running on that tank I never had any concerns with algae. The water was crystal. I...

    I think I'm a nano guy. As good as the 90 looked there was just too much space to work with. I wasn't enjoying it at all and there were more than a few times I was debating on leaving the hobby. The nano is the best thing I've done. Glad I picked one up as opposed to washing my hands of the...
