    Ordered a New Camera!

    After talking to the camera store people today I think some kind of case is essential for you and I, even one of those bag types from dive shops... any salt spray and the camera is toast, plus if it's bagged and you drop it overboard it floats! (: I checked out the rebel, the olympus and nikon...

    Ordered a New Camera!

    Hey, do you guys worry about salt spray getting into the camera shooting outdoors near the ocean? We wanted to shoot a site yesterday where the salt completely coated my glasses in about a minute. Probably not too good for camera gear... Are these cameras sufficiently sealed for that? Kate

    Ordered a New Camera!

    Hey, you gonna get the underwater housing too? (: I am getting one of these myself this xmas. My camera is dead and it always sucked anyways. Thinking I might buy a cheap POS and put it in an underwater housing for ****s and giggles but am too paranoid to risk the rebel. I like the self cleaning...

    Storm tales losses saves???

    I feel really bad for you guys... moved to Hawaii on Halloween and looks like I missed out on the worst PNW winter in decades! I left my reef tank in the care of a friend in an isolated area outside Oly and the fish/RBTA clan with Tangee. She has a generator, as my does my friend but he bought a...

    My tank from the seventees

    I have a friend with about 100 of them... her fishroom is cool. Of course it is freshwater (: She even has a stack of 3 in 75 gallon size on a commercial rack. She's going for the Guiness book of world records for old aquariums I guess. I didn't know you were supposed to oil those old HO...

    My tank from the seventees

    Someone on ebay just paid $129 plus shipping for one of those old metal frame 5 gallon tanks with hood/light. I have 2 in my garbage right now, unfortunately I already smashed them! (: Kate

    Powder Brown w/ mouth sore

    Maracyn 2 is great, you don't have to use the marine one as the freshwater one is the med and marine version is the med plus vitamins. Petco sells tons of it so it's "probably" not expired. If the fish still has any sores, fin erosion, filmy stuff or other skin abnormality I would dose it...

    Let's See Some Zoos!

    I have those hell's red ones, on a rock with some purplish blue ones with formerly orange tentacles. They browned a tad (: Polyps on both are very small and a favorite food of asterina stars, but they grow back pretty quickly. Kate

    Krish's Bahamian Photo log

    Your tank looks great! I love gorgonians... I am in Hawaii visiting for a week, it's really cool. Went snorkeling yesterday and saw very little coral, what I did see was physically damaged probably by tourists' feet. But the fish were everywhere. Naso tangs with long streamers, they looked 2...

    Who ate my Chromis?

    I am sorry, I ate them. Already ate all of mine, fish store was out, and I was hungry (burp) Sorry, just couldn't resist. So anyways, what coral/inverts do you have? Any health issues in the tank aside from this (ich, gasping, recent mortalities) I know things do disintegrate really quickly in...

    Bojangles 200g reef

    Hi, Sorry to hear that. The Oddysea has a bad reputation. How long did you get it and did you get it from someone you can return it to? If it's Aquatraders then they won't take it back. Fortunately you can redo it and save some on the electric/bulb bill while still using the nice looking...

    Bojangles 200g reef

    Is it a DIY setup or ready made? Who made the parts? If it was me and a DIY setup I would take the cord attached to the working bulb and attach that to the non working ballast. Same with the power cord. I would try a few different combos to see if it is the ballast, the bulb or the wiring. Could...

    Let's See Some Zoos!

    Score on those Marty! They look way better in your pictures than on the zoa id site or on that other site you showed me. You should send these to zoa id. Yeah, Marty's pictures really do look like the stuff in his tank. He takes great pains to avoid any touching up. Kate

    Dosing Calcium Chloride

    So... what do you think of this? It's cheap! I want an easier way to take care of my tanks, especially so I can go on vacation or do my weeklong migraine binges without having to worry about my animals so much. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200009122338 I just OD'd calcium...

    Green water Problem

    Such fun. Good luck! If you have a skimmer I'd fire it up, if you don't even one of those cheapo airstone driven ones that sit in the tank will work in a pinch if you don't want to spend much. Berlin air lift is one. Frequently found on ebay for 5-10 bucks. Ugly as all get out but they will help...

    Electrokate's 55 and 50

    Thanks for the compliments! The tank kind of looks like a big nano, I have never bought big colonies of anything. It makes it a bit crowded but I like the look, and I like all the tiny things as well like bryzoans, fire corals, and myriad other tiny critters that coat the rocks. The biggest soft...

    Green water Problem

    It is supposed to be better if you can take out a whole piece of caulerpa rather than cutting it, as the stuff it bleeds is supposed to be toxic. I find whole strings of it to pull out rather than cutting. I then feed them to the tang which hasn't read about them being toxic. I suppose that is...

    Thanks Marty. I have a sucky camera so have to take 10 pictures to get one that is halfway decent (: Here are some more... Pocillopora damicornis pink-I am not a huge sps person but I love these, green hydnaphora, and montiporas. Wish this was more pink less brown (: Pocillopora damicornis...

    Green water Problem

    You are still doing the water change right? I had this happen once in several years, it really will foul the tank. Have you any tests for alkalinity and calcium? Just curious. Kate
