I get almost all of my stuff at LFS. My two local fish stores I frequent aren't much more than the online vendors for the stuff I buy. I mostly...
I like my wavepoint light it seems to have some pretty solid construction. Bad thing is all of the lights are run off of one plug which is a game...
The key to a successful auto top off that doesn't ruin your floors is redundancy. First thing I would do is I would get an electronic float switch...
Lots of people still use UV sterilizers, fluidized bed reactors I am not so sure about. I believe its still a popular thing, but I know nothing...
Remove the molt. Do not let him eat it like normal. If the shell rot is just beginning he will molt and shed the shell rot off, and it will no...
I'm not sure about the algae bloom... I guess we will find out. :) The live rock and fish will be fine without lights for a few days. edit:...
Good point. It really depends on the fish he wants as to which should be first. Also great advice on getting an ro/di unit. I completely forgot...
Got that, I meant after the cycle a tang still wouldn't be my first fish.

Very cool. Thanks for posting this Matt.

Yep stomatopod.com is no more. That leaves your best option for a peacock as Live Aquaria, and bluezooaquatics.com for smithiis. sealifeinc.net has...
Congrats on the new mantis! Sounds like you are dead on with N. wennerae. If it is from the Caribbean, has white meral spots, and does not have...
LMAO! From the good old days like Turbo and Gemini or from the remake they did a couple years ago?
Either that or both of you guys need more schooling, its spelled college. :P (Just kidding guys) I would sell the frag tank. Can't you frag...
