Not very thick at all. I have a 5.5g that I want to partition and make fuge contained within it. What time would be a good time to stop by Lowe's? Or, who do I need to talk to?

Howdy. I need two--optionally three--pieces of acrylic: o One 8" x 9 3/4" o One 5" x 8 3/4" o One 5" x 9 3/4" (optional)

I use an 8W under-counter light from Walmart that's 12" long. My chaeto is dense as a star and getting bigger. I run it on a reverse photocycle. It lives in an area roughly 4"x4"x12".

I got certified in July. The realistic estimate, Mike, shocked me. In fact, I was totally pissed off when I took Scubaland's PADI certification for "$150". Well, you had to have your own snorkel, fins, and mask--another $140. You had to get the class materials--$70. You had to pay the open dive park fee--for us, Aquarina Springs $60 ($30/day). You had the option to rent a wetsuit, and at the springs you needed it--$36 ($18/day). The "Hey, I'll get certified just to be certified for $150" ended up costing me over $450!! I felt totally bait-and-switched and would have bailed if a friend hadn't taken a week's vacation and traveled to Austin so we could get certified together. You'll probably want your own wetsuit, BCD, regulator, and dive computer--anywhere from $700 to $2500 depending on quality.

I'll read on more detail later, but at first blush it looks like you don't have your heater hooked up to battery backup. Seems crazy to me, but then again my house is 65F at night.

Home. I am also able to telnet to it from work. For giggles (to rule out your work blocking outbound TCP dport 25): $ telnet smtp.google.com 25

I have road runner and can telnet to their smtp server (port 25) without issue. In fact, I have my own server that uses them as a relay host.

Friday delivery?

I think Mitch was saying he can accept. I can also accept at my work assuming it is here by 11am because we have had problems with late day deliveries (even next day).

I specified in my comment text to requested shells from 1.5"-2". We'll see if it is honored.

1 Drip Nozzles (3) 1 Mysis Shrimp w/Spirulina (Freeze Dried) 1 1 Penny Macro Algae 1 Fire Fern 1 Pencil Cap 5 Dwarf Cerith 1 Florida Cerith 5 Nassarius Vibex 6 Nerite Snails (Small - Medium) 3 Empty Hermit Shells

I've placed my order and associated it with "austin group buy". Mike, do you need my list of items?

In point of fact: Hi Chris. You can just order through the site, choose the group buy shipping option and leave the comment "austin group buy". If anyone wants to join in in the reshipment, that would be fine. Just let me know if you want me to add any additional comments for tracking purposes.

Here's my submission. Thanks for the encouragement. It weighs in at 5.49MB 189K. For future reference, is there a size preference?

Aye, +1 for the piggyback question.

He's still alive, but I don't know for how much longer. He has remained in the same position since the three went into the tank. After each 24h, I pull him out to smell if he is dead. He's not; I put him facing the glass and will see him move slightly from time to time. The other two have been voraciously scouring over my tank. I dropped a feeding pellet next to the hermit crab and nothing. About 15 minutes later, the mitrax had made his way to where the pellet was and gobbled it up. I have no idea if the crab is getting any sustenance at all.

Mine comes to about $26 less discount.

Ouch, ouch. STOP TWISTING MY ARM! Ok, I'm in. Has anyone bought their mysis shrimp food ($7 less 15%)? Is it good per $?

Mike, I would be interested as well. I may be interested depending on when it is. I need to compare a few things against liveaquaria.com.

Gallery of Pets also sells premixed saltwater for $1.00/gallon IIRC.

Will ya'll be doing a redo group buy from reefcleaners since there were so many casualties?

Thanks! It's a Canon XTI with a EF f/2.8 100mm macro lens. Depth of field is a bit tricky on macro lenses. Even at f/11, I focused on his near eye and his back eye and leg blurred out. Maybe I'll submit it to the photo contest. He's a cute-yet-freaky looking little bugger.

Howdy. I acclimated my electric blue hermit crabs as per the instructions on Vivid's site. After I put them in the tank, two went to town immediately feeding. One, however, walked along the bottom and the picked a spot next to a rock, feeded a little but not to vigorously and then crawled back into his shell and hasn't moved. Is this normal? I don't think there is anything I can do that wouldn't cause more stress to the little guy. Here's a picture of one of the active ones:

In my second chamber of my Solana, from top to bottom (water flows top to bottom) I have: Polyfil Top Drip Plate Chaeto Live Rubble (1 pieace) Chemi-pure Elite Bottom Drip Plate The chemi-pure elite prevents bits of broken chaeto from getting into the return pump area.

Where? I'm glad you made it through.
