Uh, check again. That's mutant grass that will eat your pets.

I believe he means one like an Ozarka bottle.

You still have any of this available?

I got this beautiful specimen from Reeftopia a while back (more than a year, less than 2). It was great for a while, then decided to go on a in the tank tour. Fortunately, until recently, it has avoided most of my corals, choosing to stay near the top of the tank in the plumbing. I changed my bulbs, and the peace was over. Since then, the anemone has moved almost constantly, stinging everything, until it finally settled where you see it in the picture below. There it has stayed (also changed the flow a little). This is a non-hosting anemone, and I still blame it for 2 mystery fish deaths. It is pretty sticky to the touch, about 4" across, lights high light, and is very mobile. So, if you have a tank that is suitable for this nem, let's talk. I'm looking to get $30. Or trade, make an offer just no montipora With flash: Under 20K - those are Kryptonite Candy Canes on the right for reference. send pm or email jalleninaustin at gmail dot com Thanks for looking.

sounds like Mike's (oops sorry caferacermike's ) tank is the best place for her. I wish I could have, but the small copepods seems to have been outcompeted by the larger amphipods. Glad you found a home. Jim

hey Drew, I'd like to get some of the Fire and Ice zoas you mentioned were in your other tanks...assuming they have not been spoken for. And I'd like to get the Pavona colony too. If okay, I can come this weekend. Thanks, Jim

Garrett, you are about 2 months behind on this one. Give me a week, and I will have some for you. Jim

is it strictly a pod eater, or has it adjusted to any other type of food? What type of "pods" do these eat? The tiny ones, or the ones that look like small shrimp running around on their sides? Sorry to be pod ignorant. Jim

I have a 110 (5') lit with 2x250SE halides and 220W VHO Actinic. I did a bulb change in October and increased the number of SPS I have in the system. It seems that the SPS I had before the light change does fine anywhere in the tank, but some other types are suffering in low light. I have been moving many new frags and colonies up higher in my rock work to compensate, but that gives my tank a very unbalanced look. For a tank your size I'd look into the 250DE X 3 with supplimentation. I think (hope) you'd get more penetration to the lower levels of your tank, since the 250DE is closer in comparison to a 400SE (please someone correct me if I am wrong).

yeah, nice an convenient to Aquatek too...they used to be in the same strip center. I picked up 3 of those barrels at the end of the summer, cost me $5 each. I got to pick the ones I wanted from the plethora they had in the alley. Just make sure to really clean them out. Oh, and avoid the ones labeled "Amber"...they just never really get clean

Hey Brian, I got a 55gal drum...you'd be halfway there. If that works for you, let me know and it is yours to use. If you need more, call Austin Homebrew (right down the road from Aquatek) and they sell them anywhere from $5-20 depending on how many they have. My only other offer is an empty 75 gallon Oceanic.

well, I was just looking back at her post, and she said it was 1" glass....that kinda sucks that it was only .5". A little misrepresented, but as long as the quality is there. Again, nice tank!

Ben, is that the tank that was being sold on MAAST by Reefgrl? Nice tank either way, I love the dimensions. Jim

If you are still looking, I need to do some trimming. Just let me know and I will set some aside for you, or anyone else for that matter. PM me for contact info.

Wow! I haven't seen the home page in a while since I have the forum index bookmarked. That will change though, I like the new layout. Great job Andrew!

Between here and there, there will not be too much of a selection. And from what I remember, all the good SW stores are across town in Houston, close to the loop, a bit of a drive from Katy. You might have a better response if you post this on MARSH. Or at least go there and get the LFS listing. Have a good Thanksgiving. Jim

Glad to hear you are moving this direction. Let us know when you need help with the tank(s) move. Too bad you can't bring the garage with you...I guess Christina will just have to show her skills at your new place.

Hey Ben thanks for hosting. I'll try to be there, probably with my daughter. Just make sure you bring your hiking boots to get up Ben's driveway

I agree with Enigma13 on this. Remove about a third at a time is a great idea. Don't forget that as you are adding LR to the sump, you are going to get some die-off from that (it always happens), and you are going to be stirring up a little more detritus with the removal of the Bioballs, just skim heavy. I think the bioballs are great for a FO or FOWLR and sand-bed, but they cause too many problems for a reef tank. And keeping them out of the water will be fine since most are used in trickle filter type sumps anyway. Good luck. Jim

I'd like the Orange and Green Caps LMK if they are still available.

most RO units are designed to be run at a specific pressure or higher. You cannot get the rejection from the RO membrane unless the pressure is correct. Look to the manufacturer of the membrane to see what the operating pressure should be. I know some 100GPD membranes require 35-40 psi. Also, if your unit does not have a pressure gauge in-line, you may want to add one of those too.

No, it is actually a problem with marindepot's shopping cart. If you have put anything into the cart, it will take you to the last item you viewed. Use the number (RO1312) at the end of the link and search the site using that. It should bring you right to the meter. Jim

Thanks...I'll take you up on that offer. And thanks to you too Andrew. I was starting to think there was some new slang I wasn't aware of

I was looking at the group buy section and there was talk about this meter from Marinedepot.com http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp...dproduct=RO1312 I have that same meter on my RO unit, works great. However, my daughter started playing around with the electrodes and got them all twisted from how they were originally. So, my question is, how are the 2 conductors inside the fittings supposed to be aligned? Meaning, does the water flow go past one, then the other (so when you look in the opening all you see is one conductor) or should I see both when I look in the hole, kinda like a fork. The TDS readings are different depending how I align them. There is also a dot on both of them, I assume from the original alignment, but that skews them a little from 90* in-line. Hope that makes sense. I just want to make sure I get the right reading, since I can make it say "0" by turning it a little. Not the best way to achieve "0" TDS. Jim edit...seems that the language checker is blocking the word "f i t t i n g s" in the above post...not cursing here.
