    New weekend purchases...

    I like the sexy shrimp in the first pic. I keep trying to get pics of mine, but they love to hide in the heads of my frogspawn, so it makes it somewhat difficult. Looks like you got a couple really nice pieces there. Brian

    Whats the best advice about anything you've got from a LFS?

    John and Sergio at Global Fish and Pet have given me great advice, pretty much about everything in this hobby. They've told me more than once that I don't need something that would have resulted in a good sale for them. They're not afraid to tell you that they don't know something if they...

    14 yr old newbie, help!

    With that light you're probably not really going to be able to keep much in the way of corals. Maybe a small sun-coral frag. Ironically with their name, they're not photosynthetic, and don't reqire anything when it comes to lighting. Maybe a small mushroom or two. As for fish, I'd suggest...

    Any fitness fanatics?

    I just started going back to the gym. I really enjoy it. In a few more months I'll probably try to hook up with a trainer that can kinda help me maximize my workouts. For right now I'm just trying to build up my cardio, (always my weakest area, due to lung damage), and just kinda get in...

    Live rock in Houston?

    Global generally sells LR for $3.99lb. Although sometimes it is a little bit more expensive. I've heard that Aquatic center also has good prices although I haven't checked them out. Brian

    14 yr old newbie, help!

    What kind of light do you have on the tank? Do you plan on keeping any corals in the tank or just the crab and rock? Personally I think that if you have access to water from your fathers tanks, and you're keeping the bio-load low then you don't really need a filtration system. I would suggest...

    Urine Trouble Again!

    Although many sites will say that green brittle stars are reef-safe, the definition of reef-safe seems to be that they won't eat your corals. They will however knock them all over the place, and eat as many of your fish as they can catch. And they're good at it. I lost 3 fish before I caught...

    Anyone in the Houston area?

    There's also B&B about 2 miles up 1960 from Jones road and 1960. I usually hit B&B, Aquatic World, and Aquarium World in one trip. Brian

    Marine store list with my opinions about them.

    DJConn, Here's a post I sent to www.maast.org, in return for a recommendation/review of Austin stores. I've got a list without the review/recommendation as well if you want it. This is of course just my opinion concerning these stores based on my own experiences with them over the last...

    Got some sexy shrimp!

    I've got a pair in my 55 reef with a blood shrimp, skunk cleaner, peppermint and a coral banded. At one point I had about 7 in there, but I've only got one surviving pair that alternate between my RBTA, BTA, and my frogspawn. I'm fairly certain that the coral banded was the b@st@rd that took...
