Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Welcome to the club. The small fee will very quickly pay for itself to become a member. We do group buys and you get discounts at a lot of the LFS. Both Red Sand and OG II are very good LFS as is Aquatic Obsessions(AO) which is in Woodbridge on RT35.
Look for live rock for sale by...
I would like to suggest don't be super cheap and use tap. I don't know how many nasties will actually get obsorbed but better zero then X amount. Just IMHO it is better to use RO from the start (OK I didn't the first time and I regret it to this day. :-[)
Or you can check out FS/FT here and Manhattan Reefers. Generally cheaper.

I am sorry I didn't see this when it was first posted.
What a cute baby first.
Very sorry for the heartache you and your family must be feeling.
It sounds like you have had great news, like Phyl said baby foods are not that hard to make.
Sounds strange but avocado is a great baby food. Even us...
Yes I know that list, and I have seen the lists for food type fish, but not if there is one for fish, corals, inverts ect. Anyway I would like us to at least think about it when we buy fish and whatnot.
I am too poor or cheap to worry about Picassos. ::) On the other hand bangaii cardinal fish are being driven to extinction by us as hobbyists. I think as conscientious reefers we need to start examining the long term viability of sustainable harvest of various organisms in our tanks.
Does...
Nice job on the hood and sump. Is the line off the return pump feeding the skimmer or just back that way. I am thinking of doing something similar, my system is making a bit of noise still so thinking of somthing like that.
Thanks for the explanation Phyl. I saw them advertised in TFH and looked them up because they really looked to be a great middle ground like you said. Almost MH with lower heat and electricity. With T5 suplementation I would guess they would be pretty good. I would really like to see them. Do...
I saw that fixture but the bulbs are actually HM right? That was what I understood the HID to be when I looked it up. At first I thought it was LED but then MH. Honestly bit confused. ???
Re: AGA 120 (very few pictures and lots of dull writing)
You get to go to AO and buy a 2 dollar thermometer and then proceed to spend your budget on other stuff....oh wait that is what I did. ;)
I loose about a gallon a day...think as the furnace is on more it is increasing a bit.
Certainly...
If it is your sand then you know that you don't have any problems like copper.
Just make sure you don't add any livestock right away because you could release ammonia and other baddies I think.
What have you been adding to the water to get your calcium so high? Do you have corals in the tank at this point? IMHO on a 30G tank a calcium reactor might be overkill especially if you don't have a tank full of SPS.
Why don't you give us a complete recap on your tank? And include a couple...
