This site is awesome!!! (and so is Big Al's)

I just had to express my gratitude for this site and all of the helpful people here. Two events:
1) I just got through a round of battling ich. Well instead of going to the [acronym:cdb4bc587e="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:cdb4bc587e] and going the chemotherapy route that they prescribed the first time I had ich, I just raised the temperature to 86F for a few days (thanks to the articles here). A bit over a week later now and ich is gone and not a single fish was lost (as opposed to when about half of my tetras succumbed to Quick Cure last time )

2) Ordered a Coralife [acronym:cdb4bc587e="Power compact fluorescent"]PC[/acronym:cdb4bc587e] strip light and some other random supplies from Big Al's last week--looks great! Hellolights had it for a bit less, but I was going to order from Big Al's anyway since there were other things I needed. When I was putting the order together, I noticed their low price guarantee--they took 5% off from the hellolights price. This comes back to how awesome this site is as I never would have known about Big Al's otherwise (and the same fixture is nearly three times as much at my [acronym:cdb4bc587e="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:cdb4bc587e]). Let's just hope that I don't have to adopt TomK2's old title (Plantslayer)....

On the topic of Big Al's...the last couple of times I ordered, they were offerring free shipping if you use bill pay through your bank. Very easy, and you can't beat free shipping!
