      Too rich for my blood. I just mix several of other frozens together to make a similar concoction for much cheaper.

      Tim, this is the first time I've used this food. I've been using Oyster Feast and R.O.E frequently until now.

      Cool, I've only come across a couple in 24 years. Nov/Dec 2010 issue of Coral has a fascinating article

  3. Wife and I are considering a new home. Is it bad that my first thoughts were, "How will I move the tank?" and "Maybe I can fit a bigger tank in the new home."

      offroadodge - we are comfy... Not rushing, just considering. And I agree! I like it out here, we wouldn't move far, just larger. :)

      I'm totally stoked! It is an exciting opportunity and has room for growth. Only downside is I get no time off for the holidays. Oh well. I'll make it up later. Had two weeks of for Thanksgiving etc. :)

      I left it alone, thinking it may not be done with its walkabout. It has moved to a more preferable location. *whew*

  12. Installed my BRS RODI unit today. One of the easiest plumbing installtions ever.

      Same here, I was amazed at how easy it was. Also how sturdy and well built everything was.

    2. Grog

      Grog

      Mounting hardware/brackets are heavy gauge. I'm happy with the purchase and cranked out 15g of water tonight. :)

    3. esacjack

      if you want to speed up the process, you can buy an extra membrane.

  13. Yeah I'm quick like lighting. Caught a pest crab with a pair of kitchen tongs. Woot!

      Used to set my jugs on the washer to avoid over flow, float switch is much easier!

  19. Guess a club member was in my neck of the woods today. Spotted an ARC sticker at the Best Buy in Bastrop.

  21. Loving my orchid dottyback. Cool little fish.

    1. Woods

      Woods

      Very Cool! I have a pr in my 180g and they are very interesting to watch. Great little fish!

    2. (Bio)³

      (Bio)³

      I was just looking at those tonight on seaandreef. I was thinking it would be a nice thing to have in a clam display tank to keep worms out.

    3. Woods

      Woods

      Mine probably eat some bristle worms as I see them from time to time with white bristles poking off their lips but I still have tons of Bristle worms in my tank along with spaghetti and other worms so they aren't the voracious worm eaters online might make them out to be. They are a little aggressive with each other even as a pair in my 180g but they aren't towards other fish.

  22. Picked up a new decorator crab today. Looks like a saltwater tarantula. :P

    1. Chad and Belinda

      Chad and Belinda

      LOL...my thoughts exactly.

      I got one of these years back for my first tank. Lasted a few day's until I noticed it was only "decorating"itself with just the most expensive stuff I had in there. lol

  23. Bubba the mantis is getting an upgraded tank tonight, going from 10 to 20g! Build thread to follow.
