    Yeah Yeah just bragging, but 30 years!

    The first 30 are easy Mike, the next 30 are tough, that's when the Hallway sex really kicks in....:D

    I'll post a few shots Steven in a day or two, I'll do some comparative shots a couple of months apart so you can see how it has progressed. I'd love to do leopard wrasses, my tank would be perfect for them except for the fact that I'm not using a fine sand substrate suitable for them to dive...

    wholesale to the public?

    No states have successfully gone after out of state on line vendors due to federal laws prohibiting restrictions on interstate commerce. If you order something online from Costco and you live in Minneappolis, Minnesota sales tax is collected because Costco has stores located in Minnesota. If you...

    wholesale to the public?

    Sorry if I came across as racist Roscoe, that was not my intent, it is just still foremost in my mind that our childrens toys have recently been shipped into our country coated with toxic substances, and our pets have died agonizing deaths due to toxins in pet food additives, as it happens these...

    wholesale to the public?

    I agree with you Diablo, I think the demise of the LFS is tragic, but I also believe it is inevitable that the majority of LFS's are doomed, I call it the Wal Mart effect, it pervades all aspects of our society, not just our hobby. As a child my family shopped at a number of mom and pop grocery...

    I need help for my yellow tang

    You're looking at type of hematoma (bruise), as everyone has mentioned this can be triggered by traumatic injury or stress. My guess is a little initial off and on aggression, and that little spike (the thing that gves tangs the name tangs....) on your Powder brown nailed the yellow a few...

    Actually, I burned out in 2 years, but since it is a civil service protected job I was allowed to run airplanes together for another 19 1/2 years without fear of reprisal...

    Top or topless that is the question...

    A good skimmer should give you all the gas exchange you need, the biggest drawback to a top IMO is degradation of lighting no matter how often you clean them...As Mr. Mackie would say, "Tops are bad....."

    Bicolor Pseudochromis or Royal Gramma?

    I tried to put two Gramma's in a 180 with a lot of rock, research I had done seemed to indicate that even if they didn't pair up they would have enough room to inhabit the same tank. Within moments they did this lethal spinning lip lock buried down in the rock where I couldn't net them. Both...

    Thanks to all of you, this really is a great honor, at the risk of sounding like false humility to lure in more praise I really do not consider myself in the same class as all the previous MOTM's, I'd really feel a lot more comfortable about this if some of my true friends would flame me. As I...

    1000 Gallon

    I seem to remember that it can be applied with one of those 2 or 3 inch wide rollers, but I'm really not sure, I know it is real thick and there is a working time of some sort after you add the catalyst, could I be any more vague???

    1000 Gallon

    Hey Brett, good news, can't wait to see your tank. Have you thought about any kind of protective coating on the metal stand? The minor surface rust now is just cosmetic of course, but once exposed to the rigors of the salt environment I would think over time you will see some serious corrosion...

    Joe's Wet Dream, A 550 Gallon Work In Progress

    And Now for Something Completely Different Now that the system has been up for nearly 6 months I'm ready to complete the last phase of this project, which is setting up the third fuge, which I have referred to as my "RBTA Fuge", which Jason Gregory at Clear Fabrications will be custom building...

    Joe's Wet Dream, A 550 Gallon Work In Progress

    I do use the ON pellets also Scooty, I like the fact that they are less messy, but with the varied size of my fish pop the flake seems to get more evenly distributed, over time I hope to transition to all pellet and use strictly automated feeders for those (I don't like flake in feeders, it will...
