    Well do share. Where is the photo at?
  4. Responsible Reefing Series #1- Unsuitable Species

    I am with James on this one. The shrimp fish should stay on the list. I have kept one and it is very difficult. Mine lasted 7 months. All it takes is a few days away from home and the little guy is a goner. The wholesaler that got it for me said they get them by special request only as they...

  6. Problems finding new wholesaler

    Lets get away from Mary and just focus on the real root cause. This goal of the policy is designed to keep the average Joe from getting a $25.00 business lic. and trying to buy from a wholesaler. Forget the brick and mortar. I think the policy of minimum purchases takes care of most of this...

  8. Problems finding new wholesaler

    I have been in the tank setup and cleaning business for over 5 years now and have a problem when I want to explore a new wholesaler. Some have a policy of no home based businesses. They require you to have a storefront. Why is this. Yes I only order about once a month but my orders this year...
  9. How many people use pfo ballast with 65k iwasaki bulb ?

    I run a dual PFO 400w with 6500k IW. and like them. I run 4 6' VHO actinic to bring the color out in the corals. All of my corals, lps, sps, and soft all love the light. Bryan
  10. LTA

    dig a hole in the sand at the base of a rock and place it in the hole. Remember, they can grow very fast and they will sting your corals so pick the spot wisely. Mine took hold overnight and grew to the size of a dinner plate in 4 weeks. Bryan
  11. Uh Oh! What happened

    Look at the caulerpa! Has it lost its green color? The exact same thing happened to my tank when a light bulb over my caulerpa went out. It went sexual and my whole tank turned green. The calurpan will be clear to white in color if this is what happened. Bryan
  12. lighting

    You will not get a blue tint with this combo. Toptank is right. Go with the 10,000K MH to get what you are looking for. Bryan
  13. Suggestions for large system pumps please

    I have a Dolphin 3000/6000. It has a switch that allows you to run it a 3000 or 6000 gallons an hour. They do not make this pump anymore but the quality is awesome. I can only assume that the rest of their high output pumps work as good. It is very quiet also. Bryan
  14. Why / why not get a lawnmower blenny?

    This is an awesome fish. I agree with Laurie, there is no reason not to get one.
