I've seen this product mentioned. Obviously, the name is german in origin, and means "lime water" Is it that simple? And it's for... raising alkilinity? Thanks

OK... my Marine Depot refractometer came in today. First, after having so many problems with other vendors, they shipped fast (and the shipping fee was reasonable), the product was reasonably priced, and it seems to be a high quality instrument. That being said, someone said my readings...

I think I'm gonna have to get me one!

Heh... I own a small business and know for a fact the customer is *NOT* always right... but somebody obviously peed in this guys wheaties this morning. He was in a foul mood and didn't give a **** about anything.

Oh Cool! Some LFS guy had frogspawn confused with hammer coral. Now I know what it looks like. Thanks!

hey thanks for the pics guys... they are pretty cool! Opening an older discussion, I was told that the YELLOW banded coral shrimp is much smaller and coexists with other shrimp, like sexy shrimp, just fine. Ed what kind of anemone is that in the foreground with the green tips

Someone asked for recent pics. Here goes...

Because it didn't even ship until the day before yesterday. They just sat on the order for nearly a week.

Addendum: after sitting here and steaming about this for a bit, I decided I wasn't going to take things lying down. I called back, told the gal who answered my story and said point blank that I was not going to pay for shipping, especially after being treated the way I was. I told her that...

Hey Hagen! :moonin Last Friday (7/7) I called Hagen directly for a replacement hose for my Fluval Canister filter. I was told the hose would be shipped immediately. One week later, I am getting antsy, so I called Hagen again. The hose didn't even ship until just a couple of days ago...

Right. I got that part. Pat dry. Back to my original question, I would have sworn that the glue I saw... you put it on the bottom of the frag and then just put the whole thing in the tank and affixed it underwater. Maybe in my dreams. Seems like gluing frags to base rock would be...

But glue OUTSIDE of the tank? Remove both pieces, glue and replace?

OK, Ed... let's see 'em!

Right into the tank? You're kidding. drty... you glued yourself... to... yourself :mrgreen:

OK... so as things continue to move along, its about time for me to get some frags for my tank. Here's the dumbest damn question of the week. I swear I read somewhere that there is a reef tank-safe glue that you can use to affix frags in the tank to other rocks. Am I smoking crack? Or is...

So, some fun stuff *is* happening in the tank... last night, one of my hermit crabs ditched it's shell and picked a new one up from the coarse coral sand I am using. It was cool, and my son thought it was great! Anyhow, it just dawned on me that I need to scatter some shells, lest these...

OK, so aside from snails... I need to decide on 3 additional things: (1) To shrimp or not to shrimp (2) Starfish (3) Hermit Crab Rumble First, should I get some little shrimpies? Yeah, I know - a bunch of you put the kibosh on my banded coral shrimp, which was such a disappointment...

NO CORALS. They will die. Some people like to cycle with hardy fish, like damsels. Personally, it didn't work for me. If it does work, they the drawback is you have fish you may not desire over the long term. You cannot generally cycle with invertebrates, because your water may become...

Anyone have issues with bumble bee snails? When I got my last batch of live rock I had a hitchhiker, and my son loves that little guy. :) He guessed the name even before I had looked it up. That really cracked me up. Smart kid. My nitrites are now down to 0 and my pH is on the rise. Just...
