    NBA Playoffs --> Who are you pulling for?

    Man, the playoffs are really heating up. I was just watching the Sac vs Minn game 6. Its getting really physical and KG just got an elbow to the face and Christie got smacked too. I guess I'm pulling for Sac since SA is out.

    Got some sexy shrimp!

    In an effort to stop talking about urinating in our tanks thanks to Flame's post #-o I wanted to share a few pics of some sexy shrimp I just got for my tanks. I picked up 3 of these little guys at a LFS for $6 each. The cheapest I've seen them online was like $12 each + shipping so I grabbed...

    Which is more useful?

    I'm considering buying either a refractometer or a pinpoint pH monitor. Which would you consider to be more useful? and don't say both b/c the cash flow will not allow for both at this time.

    Glacier RO water from Randalls/Safeway

    Well, after 1 1/2 years of fighting Houston traffic and driving 10-12 miles to my LFS to get simple RO/DI topoff water, I finally got smart. I've been reading how people use ordinary water from those Glacier vending machines at the supermarket and finally gave it a try. It says its RO water...

    Add a surface skimmer to your filter or skimmer

    I've had the Red Sea Prizm protein skimmer on my tank for over a year and a half now. Its been great so far but my only complaint was that it doesn't skim all the crud off the surface of the water. Red Sea sells a upgrade kit which is basically just the surface skimmer attachment for like $35...

    Nanotank.com got hacked!

They apparently thought it would be fun to delete all my content, pictures and basically everything we had. Thankfully my host had a backup from the day before so two days later, everything is back...

    Macroalgae ID?

    I was wondering if anyone could identify this macroalgae for me? It hitchhiked on some zoas I bought about 3 months ago and has grown out nicely. I'm thinking of fraggin it a little and putting a few in my nanos.

    What do you add/dose to your tank? Everyone!

    Ok, lets get this thing started. I always think its interesting to find out what people are actually dosing and adding to their tanks. Some people put in EVERYTHING imaginable and others just do simple water changes with hardly any other additions. For my 20 gal: I use Kent's Tech CB...
