Mark/Mike should buy this for Fat Jack when the great LED experiment fails. Sorry, couldn't resist.

Use the advanced editor.

Thoughts of joining my 135g & 240g through a shared sump, dancing through my head.

is wondering whatever happened to Rjohn (Rick).

You definitely don't want to move Aiptasia into your display tank. They can reproduce rapidly and quickly get out of control.

They should pass a law requiring all online coral sales be WYSIWYG.

Apparently, in every other reef forum, up is really down, black is really white, hot is really cold, etc....ughh. If we only had so many experts working on the US economy.

Tank dimensions are really important factors. Also, tank inhabitants.

The Steelers losing was more satisfying than a Snickers bar.

Perhaps sharing my experience will assist somehow. I spent about a year collecting "live" rock from various ARC members. I usually waited for some phenomenal deal to come along. As a result, I paid less for the "live" rock than most would pay for dead rock. My intention was to keep it "live" until I set-up my new tank, but much of the rock was infested with Aiptasia, so I ended up drying it all out in the sun. Before adding it to my new tank, I needed to address the fact that the rock probably contained a lot of trapped phosphates, which could lead to all kinds of algae issues down the line. So, I put all of the rock in large containers with RO/DI and vinegar and powerheads (no light). I changed the water/vinegar solution about three times over a 1-month period (the first batch of dirty water was very foul-smelling). I then soaked the rock in just RO/DI (no vinegar) one last time, then I dried it all out in the sun. My tank's been up and running almost a month now (moved all of my livestock over from my previous tank) with no issues. I allowed the new rock/tank to cycle for about 2-weeks using Seachem's Stability.

My JETS won....but I'm physically/emotionally exhausted!

You can't....just give them money to go shopping and leave you alone to enjoy your tank.

It's my interim 135g that I set-up until I can get my 240g up and running.

Check-out the awesome stand/canopy Prof built for me (thread is in his sponsor forum)!

These Koralia 8's can propel a small boat. Explain to me again why it's necessary to spend 5X as much on VorTechs?

Went to an H-E-B Plus and two different Spec's and I couldn't find the regular Bud aluminum bottles. The guy at the Spec's on Mopac was nice enough to special order a couple of cases for me. Small price to pay for my bro-in-law, who's taking me Peacock Bass fishing in the Amazon this summer.

Brazil. I'm taking him to a nearby pub in Cedar Park. They have a whole wall of drafts, with a very large selection of Texas beer (a lot of 512's).

Thanks! Trying to fulfill an odd request from my brother-in-law, who will be visting the US for the very first time during the holidays.

Do they sell these Bud aluminum bottles at Spec's? Budweiser Aluminum Bottles If not, where do they sell them around Austin / Round Rock?
