I'm heading to Chicago (along the turnpike) and was looking at stopping by a few stores while I'm there. Does anyone have a list of freshwater or marine stores in the area and along my way? Any store will do, whether it's a favorite or just one you stopped by once. I prefer marine but hey, I...

I'd do #1. It can't be that much of a pain to move a very light fixture around. Not like they weigh 20lbs or anything. Plus at 4.5" wide, not like they are taking up a huge amount of room either. Buddy runs two of them over his 55g and loves the light. Cheaper to buy two 2x39w than one 4x39w...

There has to be some other places in Cali to order from, too many wholesalers out there not to have an online shop that is credible. http://www.reefermadness.us/ Never heard a bad thing about them. I've been considering ordering from them myself if my transshipment doesn't come through.

First, Ricordia. Second, Radioactive Dragon Eye Zoanthids.

Back from the dead.....again! I have a chance to pick up a few of these. I was just wondering if anyone here has had success in breeding them? Live food is not too much of an issue. I can't get my hands on blackworms but hatching brine for them is easy enough.

Either use the clip-on style lights or a DIY 70w hanging style. Pretty easy to wire up.

I did an iodine dip today, 15 drops of Lugols in 1/2g of tank water. Let the coral sit for 15 minutes. I'm going to try and frag it tomorrow.

To me a new bottle stinks a little. If you've ever smelled a bad bottle of DT's you'll never forget the difference between the two.

Sometimes anemones will move themselves out of light and acclimate themselves to light as they see fit. This can be fast or slow depending on the anemone. Keep an eye on the 6-Line as they seem to either be great community fish or complete disasters. I've seen them go both ways. Have you...

Recently I received some corals in the mail and the only damaged one was this Acan Echinata piece. The box had been dropped and I fear this Acan took the brunt of the force. What can I do to keep this coral from loosing all tissue and dying completely? Any tips? Thank you.

Beautiful fish. Too bad I just tore down four of my freshwater tanks. Great prices as well.

Odd, under that assumption mine should not have grown at all, yet they do.

Man, I really need to raise my dKH then. It's only testing out at 4.....

Some people consider Xenia a pest coral believe it or not. They keep it in their sumps of all places! I know you said mushrooms don't tickle your fancy but what about Ricordias? They are easy to keep and very colorful. With the 96w fixture it really expands what you can keep. Some LPS, tons...

You do have enough light to grow just about "anything" but don't forget about things like water movement and the like. Light is just one of many variables that needs to be met for certain colors to grow and thrive. What are your coral goals for the tank? Mainly SPS? LPS? Softies? A mix? This can...

No new pics in almost two months time! Only addition have been a couple new zoo frags, Ricordia, and I started fragging my shrooms. I've been busy planning and building a frameless 12g. It will have a 10g display, false wall, and 2g fuge. Sort of a DIY all-in-one type tank. It'll be lit by a...

Your LFS guy might not be as knowledgeable as he acts like. If a nano is so hard, a pico should be nearly impossible. Either I'm a lesser god of fish keeping or keeping a small reef tank isn't as hard as people claim it to be. Just use some common sense about it. Good livestock selection...

Guess maybe I should update this eh? Here are some of my newer corals and some of them feeding on Mysis. You can see how big this shroom really is, just got down eating. This one is currently chowing down: Ricordia enjoying a nice meal: A sneaky little bristleworm who climbed into...

Looking to purchase a 70w MH hang on back light. JBJ or Coralife will do. Prefer used as I'm on a budget . Bulb doesn't matter as I will replace it anyways. Please PM me if you have one to sell. Would possibly entertain a 150w if the price is really, really right.

I look for prices to start dropping. We won't be seeing hundreds of dollars off but with more competition we'll see a little. This technology looks very promising. By no means can I even afford to a light a 10g with one but by the time I can do a large tank I hope the prices have dropped and...

It also really depends on what you are trying to sell back as well. Say you are trying to sell back a certain fish that is not on any of their wholesale lists and won't be for months. They may pay a couple bucks over wholesale because they just can't get the fish or don't want to order just that...

How old are the fixtures? Interested.

They sure will. They'll also eat spinach, zucchini, and sweet potato.

I have plans to upgrade the lighting. I just want to see how this works for now. I do have an extra 7w 7200k (goofy K temp isn't it?) that I'm working on setting up. The light sits like 10" above the water line, it's a stupid design. Also working on a DIY tank and DIY 70w MH combo as well...
