I'll plug nick at rose city, and Tim at westside aquariums. They both always treat me well. Not to take away fro any of the other shops in town. They are just the two I have experience with.

one of the sponsors should pop up anytime now to let you know that they have them in stock. you could always arrange with one of them to let her go pick some stuff out as well if you unsure.

of course superman/rainbow just describe the colors so they could be other types of corals, do these look right?

soooo..... my hydrometer was way off and I let my salinity get way too low. First sign was my linkia losing some legs. All my water parameters tested OK, at least according to my test kits and faulty hydrometer so I figured he was starving (I got a huge snail that leaves my glass spotless. Anyhow I noticed one of my acan's and one of my zoo's starting to melt, so I retested anything and it still seemed fine. At this point I suspected the hydrometer(flame) and dug my refractometer up (hey I just moved and the hydrometer used to be accurateDOH!). 250 PPT .... ouch! Is anyone out on the westside that can stop by or loan me a refractometer to make sure that mine is accurate, I'm a bit paranoid now. I did reaise the salinity and things seem to be looking better, The acan and the linkia are almost certainly toast tho. Still I'd like to be sure that I am on target. I can always just bring mine to you to verify they read the same. I'm should be done w/ school around 3...

Lowman spilled the beans when I saw him on sunday. Hopefully everything in our home tank recovers from the faulty hydrometer and the super low salinity that was achieved. Otherwise I'm gonna be left when nothing when she steals the rest ... lol. I have salt that I can supply to get the tank cycling as well. Thanks to everyone for supporting the TFT program.

I'll be awaiting your report .. lol

Cost to keep the tank going depends on a lot of variables' date=' but for a tank that size you are looking at around $50 a month (probably more) in electricity costs. Food probably about $20 a month, again depending on inhabitants. Miscellaneous supplies, water, supplements, etc maybe another $25 a month. Soo, really roughly speaking, at least a $100 to keep it running. Almost certainly more.[/quote']

 

I would say that the above costs listed are being a bit generous. a fully stocked tank of that size will probably run closer to $200 a month, or more depending on what type of lighting (and supplemental) requirements the inhabitants have. Talk to Garrett and see if you think it is something you can handle. Honestly it's more of a tank than most of us can handle I figure it costs me about $75 a month to run my 120G.

 

... maybe I shoulda read the second page..... ahhh well it's early yet.

 

... Looks like it's handled, g/l w/ the new tank.

I say give me the MP40's, and go for the closed loop.

I keep it pretty basic...

TasKiller - let's you kill apps

PF voicemail - let's you choose which msgs to listen too

waste of time and money IMO. Just tell him the ne HD will be $500 and go pick up a new computer for him.

I can. It's pretty simple really. Of course were not exactly neighbors.... do you have a windows disk or do you need one?

PM Sent for pump.

lol ... I had some damsels (dominoes I think) and they attacked me all the time. I borrowed a trap from Rose City to catch them. Takes a little patience, but it wasn't too bad.

lol ... The blue acro I got from you is doing well, I may have to stop by again.

I have a few pumps laying around. I'll see if I have something that would work when I get home this evening.

I use my still use mine because my refractometer is hard to read. I just make sure that it is still reliable every few uses. come to think of it I should just buy a new refractometer...

I know someone was getting decent results. you can get cfl's that fit a standard socket at home depot up to 100W that would work for sure... not too pretty though, they are huge.

No clue... I have a yellow tang that picks my rocks clean, might be worth a try.

lol ... she's already planning the theft of my favorite frags.

B/W's?????????????????????????????????????

are the clowns currently hosting? I'd be interested in a pair that I knew would host. My false percs have no interest at all, gonna have to be donated to the TFT program.

sweet... I'll spread the word!

It sounds like Ms K has a few science teachers that are interested. We'll pass the link to the wiki along if that is still how folks are supposed to apply.

don't mean to discourage anyone from taking them .... I really like the look of them, they just grow faster than most so I intend to keep them on just one rock. They aren't jumping to other rocks at this point. I only wish everything else grew as rapidly.

anything left?
