I agree that thicker is better. Not sure how you could test it without just doing it though. The big concern is if the .1 is not thick enough and...
Thanks for the follow up message, I really appreciate the info!
Great, thanks for the information. I am also considering using www.coraldynamics.com. They are out of Charlotte NC, which is much closer to my home...
I am not sure about petsmart or petco honestly. You may want to check on-line at www.thatfishplace.com. I have found their prices to be very good...
Thanks for the info. Did the corals arrive in good shape, and did they survive? Can you give me a ballpark idea on what you paid for shipping? Did...
Hi, Has anyone ordered any corals from www.garf.org? I am trying to focus on aquacultured soft corals, and I am struggling to find good...

The increased temp may have encouraged the algae growth, but was probably not the only cause of the bloom. I would definately stop using tap water...

Thanks for the feedback all. My snails seem to be doing alright, but I have noticed that my red leg hermits are praying on the astrea snails. I...
Hi All, Just curious...Does anyone know how long on average snails last..Specifically astreas and turbo grazers. Granted you probably have many...
I agree. If it were my tank I would lose the undergravel filter (remover the entire filter - plates and all) and the bio balls. One question that...
The other thing is the halogen lights throw off a ton of heat (not that metal halides don't). I have halogen lights under my cabinets in my kitchen,...
