    Is there an online Marine Stores that does financing like a Best Buy for Aquariums?

    Got caught in a middle of a project on my tank and got hit hard with some unexpected money issues. Why does every thing break in threes?

    I know the feeling Malachi....Never fails. Detritus happens when funds are low.
    Hey Matt, What do ya think of a 3-Reef Visa???????
    Nevermind, it's definately the one that would be maxed out for me. ::)

    3reef Visa that's an idea. ;D

    Actually I don't even use credit cards anymore after having monster debt.

    Now that's paid off, if I can't afford it, I don't buy it. I have a saving account now too. Live and learn. ;)

    I buy everything with 12 months with out interest, i don't have a credit card. I cut them up as soon as the original purchase is paid off. I have 1.5 years left on my car payment and i will be car free for 35 years. Do Elantra last that long?

    Matt good job on the saving account, me and my wife finally open one up last week. It is a good feeling.

    Ok, How about a contest to win a sea swirl!!!

    I personally like the Icecaps for mogul socket metal halides. I have ran then side by side with magnetic and to me there was not a noticable difference. Now for DE bulbs it is a different story, electronic just can't push a DE lamp hard enough and they end up running at about 80% of what a HQI megantic ballast would drive them at
