    How cool would this job be?....

    I just spotted this Job Posting. http://www.vanaqua.org/ask_us/jobs/TSWAquaristDec05.html It sounds pretty amazing but would it make tending your own tanks seem like "work"?

    New cars

    Hi justmy2cents, Have you seen the new Ford Escape Hybrid yet? http://www.fordvehicles.com/escapehybrid/home/index.asp It's not a medium sized van but it's bigger than a typical hybrid. I'm not a Ford fanatic nor am I keen on buying a first model year product, however, I'll be keeping my eyes...

    Is this some sort of sponge?

    After more research, I think that it is not Haliclona sp. but more like Leucosolenia sp. http://www.biosci.ohiou.edu/introbioslab/BIOS173/images/lab1/leucosolenia.htm http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&q=Leucosolenia&btnG=Search The photo I originally uploaded was from my feature rock...

    What does everyone use to plug holes on top of acrylic tank?

    Hi tomas21, In the past I have used Saran wrap and tape. If you want a more professional appearance, you could pop into your local plumbing supply shop and pick up some sort of bulkhead plug. Paul.

    Is this some sort of sponge?

    OK, I've ruled out 'silly string' because realistically how would that have gotten in there anyway? Otherwise, I'm still fishing for ideas.... My setup is going to be a reef tank one day but it is starting life as Fish Only (with LR). It would be nice to have some colour and movement on the...

    Is this some sort of sponge?

    Hi gang, I picked up 200lbs LS and 200lbs LR about 2 weeks ago and my tank is still cycling. These things were on the rock when I put them in the tank. Originally, they were flaccid but now they seem to be thriving. (I say thriving because they are growing and reaching towards the light -...

    Is this expensive?

    Depends what is meant by "complete". If the Fluval is a 404 ($160 new), if it comes with media ($10 - $20), a slick PC lighting setup with canopy could be an easy $300 by itself, stand ($50 - $100), heaters and goodies add to the equation. Expensive is a relative term. Is it expensive...

    PLEASE READ!!! HEATER DEFECT--FIRE--TOTAL LOSS!!!

    Hi jeffw85, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Thank you for giving us the "heads up" about the Odyssea 500w heaters. I see them on eBay for $20.00 and they seem so much cheaper than the EBO-JAGER or the WON Brothers Pro Heat II. I guess Cheaper is NOT Better. I have the Oceanic...

    Painting or sealing the inside of a wooden stand?

    Hi guys, I am in the early stages of putting together my 175G Bowfront Reef tank. I will have a 33G sump inside my wooden stand and I am wondering if the bare plywood on the inside of the stand will experience rot or mold. I am thinking about sealing the inside of the stand but I can't...
