After talking with Woody, this year he will again be happy to host the August meeting in conjunction with his annual customer appreciation BBQ. I know some folks are not on the mailing list, and some folks probably do not get his emails either, so here you go: "Sunday August 22, 2004 everyone...

We have been testing Joe's Juice and found that it kills hair, bubble, and turf algaes. We shut off the ciirculating pump before putting the juice over top the algae. Allow it to sit undisturbed as long as possible for best results. The algaes will beak up and come apart. I'll update as...

hi all, I had to do a bunch of driving this weekend, so I decided to take in a few LFS' that were on the way, here are some thoughts/observations Upscales - nice stock and facility but absolutely terrible service, I was in a buying mood, and wanted to pick up some finger leather of...

I bought some cheap floating glass thermometers from WalMart's fish department. Today I found the one in my sump broken and the little balls that sit in the paraffin fell into my sandbed along with a little broken glass. Well after seeing this I pulled out the one in my main thank that was...

Hello All, I have a single cartridge DI unit that I purchased from Woody at SeaHorse Aquarium Supply in Portland a while back. He carries the resin cartridges there in his shop. I since have moved to Utah due to career changes. I recently purchased a RO system here, so would like to trade...

Just recently my skimmer has decided to output millions of microbubbles and I can't figure out what is causing it. The skimmer is an ETSS Super Reef Devil being run by a mag 9.5. The pump is actually a little too strong so I have attached a ball valve to scale it down a little. This setup was...

I bought a fish last weekend (from a store that will remain unnamed, unless you email me and want to know!) and it died six days later. During that time I did not see it eat, despite offering it a wide variety of foods. On the sixth day I got some of the food that is made in the store where the...

Just picked up a philips 24" 40 watt super actinic bulb, I have a URI 24" and comparing them together I believe that they are almost identicle in spectrum and the philips has more output (eyeball test) after a few days I will recompare them. The philips bulb was a lot cheaper though. Bought...

I was at Deep Sea Gallery yesterday and they just got a shipment of really choice Marshall Island Rock. They had several fairly large pieces with great cave structure. I wish I had a larger tank. :( Just wanted to give a heads up, I know several people were looking for some choice rock. See...

I made the mistake (I knew better really) in a moment of weakness, of buying a fish (yellow tang) from Petco. It's dead inside a week. My water conditions are perfect right now. I had a little mini-cycle when I added him, but amonia and nitrite stayed below .25ppm and the WHOLE thing lasted...

Hi all, Here's my newest edition... Have a great evening!!!:)

Hey all, I'm drilling my tank this weekend and needed some possible suggestions. I will be drilling the back but wanted to know what to use for a protective screen for the hole. The ideas I have come up with are either a cone type guard that fits the hole, something like an open powerhead...

I'm getting ready to order the 9 for $99 from IPSF, and was wondering if my Penguin 330 biowheel will cause any problems with the small critters. Will I loose a lot of them from sucking them through the bio-wheels and penguin filters.
