    Not to derail the thread, but I wonder if patents only prevent commercial use and production. I think if you know how to make Coke, you are allowed to make it and drink it. You just can't sell it. Here is a quote from the Patent FAQ: "Patent protection means that the invention cannot be...

    That was intended to be "making your OWN live rock." :) Here is another link: http://www.garf.org/howtodoinformation.htm#Aragonite I just made a "reef table" a couple days ago and it was a lot of fun. I like the way it turned out. It basically looks like a flat reef rock with some legs...

    RO/DI-Seattle Area

    I have a unit I haven't used in a year and was wondering if the filters are still good. What do you test for to see if it is still working right? I'm guessing: Chlorine TDS Any others? Is there a good test kit for this?

    Seems like you can find them all day long on CraigsList: http://seattle.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=aquarium+fish Do a few searches for different words like: gallon, reef, aquarium, tank, fish, coral A lot of times, the best deals are the ones with poor descriptions because they don't...

    RO/DI-Seattle Area

    I have heard of some people recycling the waste water from the RO unit. Pipe the waste water into a collection barrel and use it to fill the washing machine and water the plants. If you mount the reservoir on a stand, gravity will pump it where you need it. I have thought about mounting my RO...

    Reef sand in bulk?

    Is there any place local to get a lot of reef-quality calcium-based sand that is cheaper than CaribSea or local fish store prices? I have read some other threads about finding it at home depot and local cement / gravel yards. Have any of you found a place local to get it cheaply in large...

    ~~Aprlil 19th, Bob Moore "Pay it forward" Frag Swap~~

    Why not bi-annual? Then you can pick up all the schedule conflicts on the second event. It can happen as often as there are willing hosts, right?

    ~~Aprlil 19th, Bob Moore "Pay it forward" Frag Swap~~

    This was my first meeting of this kind and am glad I bumped in to the forum post the day of the meeting. I had a great time and came home with a few frags to reseed my tank after the big move. Even though we parked on the other side of the block, we knew we were in the right place by the...

    ~~Aprlil 19th, Bob Moore "Pay it forward" Frag Swap~~

    Please clarify, is this the location of the meeting? I recently moved to Renton from Maryville, TN and looking to link up with others in the hobby. I got a PSAS card a couple months while visiting and while out looking for LFS. I hopped on reeffrontiers.com today and saw where you are having...
