All, selling my whole system. Gotta move! Here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330109854322

Hey , Am I losing my mind or did the last post I made about supplier sales just disappear off this site? Spin

Hay all and Happy New Year! I'm getting old and can't find stuff like I used to. I remember seeing announcements for special sales from suppliers, but I don't know where they're listed now? Also, how do I reduce the size of my JPEG pictures so I can upload them on the site. TIA Spin

Yeah, replenishing the cleanup sounds like a good idea. But then again....just one more fish?? Spin

Hey all, it's been awhile since posting due to nothing really going on with my tank. Hope I'm not jinxing myself, but after 1 1/2 years, the tank seems to be coming into its own. The coroaline algae is flourishing, the fish seem healthy, and all seems right in my aqaurium world. The last 2...

I've had mine for a couple months. Seems fine. He's in a 120 with a Blue Hippo, Yellow Tang, 2 clowns, and 3 Henis. He's the one spot variety, BTW. Spin

All, I see that some websites offer compatible replacements for the CF1M and CFC1 filters. Much cheaper in cost too. Does anyone use other than Kent replacement filters in their Kent units? Thx Spin

All, I've got the Kent CTA10 RO unit. Had it for a year and have replaced the 2 cartdridge filters 6 months ago. Haven't done anything with the membrane yet. Should I get a flush kit? And no I don't have a TDS meter. thx Spin

All I know is, sometimes when you look at my tank, you'd think it had no fish in it!! It seems so empty with the five fish I have. In any event, my new plans are to get 2 B XW Henis which are active swimmers. After that, go with the PT and FA. Spin

Wondering what you all consider as being the number of fish for a given tank. It seems the general rule was 1" of fish per 5 gallons, but Paletta's book, The New Marine Aquarium suggests 1 " per 2 gallons. Here's what I have so far in my 120 FOWLR: 2 clowns = 4" 1 YT = 2.5" 1 BHT = 3" 1...

Just a final update to report. I hope this doesn't jinx me, but the BHT seems to be doing great in the main. No signs of ich, and he's becoming more extroverted. I personally wouldn't think of getting a tang w/o putting it through hypo first. Spin

Speaking of the Jersey shore, you shoulda been there 2 weeks ago. Millions of tiny mussels washed up on shore and began rotting away in the summer sun. Now THAT was some funky stench! I had to get back to my skimmer's cup to recuperate ;) spin

Gee wiz!! Who would've thought my off the wall question would have such a long life? Seriously though, I'm wondering why some of your cups are so dreadful smelling and mine isn't. Maybe my skimmer isn't working so well. or my bio load (2 clowns, YT, BHT) in a 120 isn't that heavy. Spin

Thanks

All, I use these to hold the Nori on a rock. The bands are the standard stationary store variety that have that rubbery smell. OK for the tank? I'd like to use the white ones you get when you buy a clump of vegetable greens but I don't know where to buy them. Spin

All, I want to fashion a sinkable plastic object that i can attach Nori to. I'd like to sandwich pieces of plastic together and use glue of some sort. Can the GE 100% silicone caulk glue that you get at Home Depot work for this? Thx Spin

I'm serious! If it's supposed to smell gross than maybe I'm doing something wrong. Either that or I'm just used to the smell of the 'Jersey shore : ) Spin

Is it just me, or does anyone else take in the lovely smell of your protein skimmer's cup before you clean it? So freah and evocative of the ocean. Spin

thanks

All, Before I QT my pending Foxafce Lo, is there any benefit to giving it a freshwater dip first? My thought is even if the fish is ich free, perhaps the LFS weter contains ich. Maybe the dip would prevent the free swimming parasites from hitching a ride? i know that these dips are NOT an...

All, well it's been close to 7 weeks and the Hippo has made it through the hypo. He's still a shy bugger but a bit of a pig. He goes through a 4"X4" sheet of Nori every day. I'm gonna start to raise the salinity this weekend and eventually move him into the main next week. If all goes well...

All, With the new design of this site, I can't tell where the thread is on current sales, but hello lights has 55w/65w CFs for $10 ea. !! Sale is only for the next week. Spin

All, I'm seeing little round whitish spots along the lower part of the tank glass that don't come off with a Mag Float. I guess this is CA? In any event, what's the best scraper for this. My tank is glass BTW. Thx Spin

Brenden, This fish never showed any signs of ich. I'm doing the hypo as a preventaitive measure. From what I've read doing the hypo will assure the fish never comes down with ich in the future, provided the tank you put him in is ich free as well. Spin

Well, he's sill here. Hiding all the time but still here. He'll eat the Nori I clip on the tank glass each day. Spin
