Hey Mike, In a recent bout of 'what do i want to do when i grow up?' I thought of the marine bio thing too. It's a very interesting science, but from what I understand, jobs are scarce and for the most part, pay even scarcer. Anyway, just my 2 bits. If you do it, more power to ya!

Just a little while ago Dell was selling 10.1 MP Rebels for $3xx, body only or $419 with a lens. Heckuva deal, but unfortunately over.

Honestly, I don't buy the Hydor markeneering. I mean, I know they move water, but I'd be willing to bet it's not nearly as much as they say. I won that Hydor #1 at a club raffle a while back. It said 400 GPH. It probably moved about 1/2 as much water as my MJ1200s. Good pumps, but don't buy...

I wonder how many bags it takes to get one home?

You gotta admit, they're pretty frickin' cool looking. A pred tank with some live rock and one of those monsters would be cool.

Well, on the flip side, it gets even a few of them out of the ocean, they don't need to eat for like 6 months at a time, and they could be potential food for some harlequins. :)

To cover the intake of powerheads so these slimy lil fellas don't get sucked in and spit out in little bitty pieces.

Gotcha. So its not that they're problematic, it's just that you don't like them. I was a little confused as I'd always thought they were harmless filterfeeders that actually do more help than harm, and whose population would ebb with the available foodstuffs. I just looked at your mac...

Of course, the funny thing is, when you actually want them to move, they don't. I had to litterally take a rock down into the garage and beat it with a hammer till the dang thing flopped out onto the floor to get one to let go. I haven't heard for a while, but I think that one's still kickin'! ;)

Yep! Short answer: Because it wants to.

My flameback didn't touch a thing in my tank when I had him...albeit was only for a month before I learned the hard way that he was a jumper. :(

I've actually notice the hair algae thing too. Everytime I do a water change I just yank that crap out...but it always comes back, but only on the GSP mat.

Explain 'feather duster problem'? ???

I use kent 2 part. Seems to work good. Once you get a lot of life in there, I guess it's just a necessity.

Sunlight...and love. :)

If you don't have ich in your tank, and you quarantine your fish before he goes in, so he doesn't bring ich, I think it's fairly safe to say you won't have ich problems in your tank. If you don't let it get in, it shouldn't be there. I know some believe that it's 'always present', but that...

Hey J., Are you testing your phosphate in the tank or the water you're putting into the tank (before it goes in)? Phosphates almost always read 0 because the algae will just thrive off of them to their fullest extent. Are your RO/DI filters relatively new? Checked TDS? How about your bulbs...

Hey, if you're looking for diversity, they're great. My lil fella cracks me up. I call him Shrek:

If it's a crawlspace, you can just reinforce it really easily. Go to home depot or the like and buy a 4x4 or two, cut one section to span 2 or 3 floor joists, one to sit on the ground and one a little bit (like 1/8 or 1/16th) long er than the space between those two and you're set. You can even...

Skip it. Your home is worth more. ;)
