I thought about going to burning man, but it's turned into a huge commercial festival that, aside from the giant burning pile, has lost its real function of release. At least that was the vibe I got from people way back in '00. To each their own. Just bring lots of water and TP. And body...

I'd say total water volume. Tank + sump + fuges + whatever else.

Good luck to anyone trying to get U2 tickets, both shows sold out in 20minutes. I was on the ball online ready to rock and roll. Started my request and the server booted me not once but twice, and then it was too late. Then they announced a second show and I swear I was first in line for...

Got my lights today and met another cool reefer in SD. It'll take me a week to figure out how to cram these in my hood and to get all the new necessary electrical stuff in there. But I"m pretty stoked to get 220w in there, I hope it'll encourage my corals to breed like rabbits. I've also...

PC's? If you've already got the light, then use it. Even if it is T-5.

I am probably going to cram all my lights into the hood I've already got, vs. trying to build one from scratch. The thing about it is, currently it is nearly sealed with no fans. I really should put a fan and an air hatch in there to keep 'em cool. They get pretty warm right now as is. So...

Just as a side note for responsible reefkeeping, if you do buy macro algea from a store and don't/can't use all of it and can't find anyone who wants it, put it in the freezer for a day or so before youdispose of it. It is very important to destroy macro algea and in fact anything if you're...

My mistake. I really need an SLR digi.

Go ahead and kill it, the sooner the better, I had one and didn't know what it was and let it live for 3 m onths, and now I've got little ones all over. My pep shrimp eats it, but only on the right side of the tank, and I still see 'em but I just wonder how many more there are that I can't see.

Patience is a virtue.

When do you feed yours? I do mine when the atinics are on, it took awhile for everything to feed with the lights on but the zoas never shovel anything into their mouths. I could be feeding them at the wrong time, otherwise they're all healthy but not growing. :(

I think I had it running 12hrs, the atinics would come on at 9:30 and shut off at 9:30pm. I'll probably scale back either way to 10hrs on atinics and 8hrs on full light.

I found a new seller for a 55wat dual light setup. So this weekend I'll be moving to 220watts on 4 timers so I'll be able to ramp dawn to daylight to dusk. I've got to replace one moonlight but no worries. What should be my total photo period? I don't want to mess with algea blooms. Thanks

Great pics, you're using the S500? I've got an S400 and when I set the WB it goes into Sepia mode. I hate this, I wonder if my camera is damaged?

I got the alveopora off a friend who left the state. I hear both it and the gonorpora are the 'forbidden' corals where they seem to do well for about ayear and then just up and croak. There seems to be a lot of negativity about their purchase due to their low survival rate. And apparently...

Pic Updates! Ok, long promised new pics of my tank: The two other rics are right behind the big mother one, and my zoas while happy, still aren't growing. My alveopora. Big and happy. My latest, new candy cane. Will be moved off the substrate higher to the lights...

candy canes I picked up a 6 headed candy cane for $7 bucks today off of my local SD forum. One of the local stores has a 3 headed frag for $10. Just got to give props to all the local reefers that undercut the stores prices. Ok, questions: Where in my tank should I put this? I've got...

Well everything is back to normal. I'm surprised you can't get cyclops in CA, most stores in San Diego carry it. Frozen too, and yeah, everything I feed I use less and less. I turn off my pumps, it allows everything to get consumed and for the cleanup crew to take care of leftovers so it...

Ask your LFS owner about it. It comes in a bright red bag. A little goes a LONG way so my bar will last me a good long while. I'lls ee if I can't find a website...I hope my shrooms pull through.

I think it was indegestion, the one that was doing the worst is now doing better and the other two have gotten worse. No more Formula 1 for the hairy shrooms. Just mysis and cyclops! Who'd of thunk, maybe I should have slipped it an antacid. ah ha ha
