In order to make a better world, why is it always the poor people that has to suffer? sigh! Going with your logic, in order to get people to buy electric cars and save the earth from pollution, we should raise price of gasoline to 20 bucks a gallon. Those who benefits will be the oil corps...

Last trip to Hong Kong, my rich friend treated my dinner and he ordered a big 20 inch parrot fish. I costed around US80 cooked (how much would it cost at our lfs, i wonder). It tasted great though.

I personally knows of two rich guys who don't care about how much they pay for coral or fish as long as they like it. They visit lfs and wholesalers every week to replace the stock they lost. Have no sense of what the fish and coral needs, but man, do their tank look good. professionally...

yeah i have both the purple and green coraline growing in my tank. the purple ones grows all over my rocks and power heads. the green ones seems to prefer the arcylic.

all a bunch of BS. Just media types wanting to sell their story and scientist wanting gov funding to do their research. I remember in the 80s that they said we gonna run out of fossil fuel by now.

i don't think shark attack is on the rise. if you read the news, it is actually on the way down. we just have a faster media than before.

I agree with mike. even with the markup, a lfs is not making a lot of money with the low volume. Our hobby is not as wide spread as one would think. these stores selling on line may not be make any money at all with all these overheads. Just look at webvan and amazon. Amazon is still...

i have a 20 gal also and have no filtration except for the 50 lb of live rock. Of course it filled up 3/4 of the tank and doesn't look too good. But my pair of horses, a sea urchin and a serpent star looks happy at home. PS. 5 gal water change every week with natural sea water. lee

got my fuji finepix 1400 (3x optical zoom) last x'mas for 250 with 50 rebate. was selling at goodguys at 299. found an online store that sells for 250, got print out, show it to them and get the price down to 250. went home, do a search and found the 50 bucks rebate coupon. Whole thing comes...

i think coraline spread by contact. do you have enough snails in your tank? In my 55 gal, i have the purple coraline all over and the snails are encrusted with them. in my 29 gal, no snail and the purple coraline only spread to nearby rocks.

in california, just the electricity rate would cost me around, hmmm, 110%. The PUC is talking about socking us Northern californians with another 30 billion.

yeah, sell the damn things, why kill it. it cost over 20 per rock with only 3 shrooms at my lfs. i love those guys and can only afford one piece of rock last month. im planning to fill my whole tank with them. after you cut them off, you can inject the remaining tissue with kalk or stick a...

hi kris, beautiful tank you got there. with shipping charges of around $10 per frag, wouldn'd it be about the same price as the lfs? by the way, there is a big wholesale warehouse in hayward. not open to the public though. if you have a friend in the business, you can go there and pick your...

don't know about the center brace. i think you can go to home depot and get some kind of arclyic glue for that. what is this Novus cleaner thing? is it working? i am also working on a free tank with tons of scratches. i am using rubbing and polishing compound from the auto store. it works...

i have a pair of cleaner shrimp and one blood shrimp. no problem at all. the blood shrimp always hide behind the rockwork while the cleaners roams all over.
