Where can I find ceramic mogul sockets for MH? I have seen some that appear to have an aluminum/ stainless steel bracket on them that is used to mount them in the canopy. -Dredawg

Actually Dr. Reef I think it does. Several of posters have proven my point perfectly. The reason for the post is to demonstrate the need for civil discussions; others should be allowed to disagree with the masses without being attacked. Especially when the attackers have no firsthand...

Shane..I love it. [beheaded monkey that is] lol...lol...lol ROFLMAO

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water. After a...

well said afss sounds like rayjay as "cut few cost corners" himself...from his website: My preferences for saltwater tanks are to run NO fluorescent lighting, and bare bottom berlin style filtration. My stands, skimmers, and hoods are all homemade. [ October 28, 2001: Message edited by...

Damn!!!! What happened Dan???????

Chris, Thomg and I live in Georgia. We do not have access to purchase Southdown and our local Home Depot as you may have. Thomg had 2 pallets of SD shipped to his home to HELP OUT local reefers, and quite frankly, $12 per 50# bag IS A STEAL compared to the cost of argonite sand sold at the...

This is REALLY frightening. What I mean is by reading these posts, the United States of America has become a country of wimps, do-gooders who aren't willing to stand up and fight for our way of life. Some of you said you fear for the future of your children. This is precisely why you should...

I thought quite a while before starting this thread, because I knew some would take offense to it. But if this is a TABOO SUBJECT, then my bad. The purpose was/is to call attention to the lack of traffic, cyclical or not. RDO is the first reef-website I found and enjoy it very much.

Maybe it's just my perception, but this board seems to be drying up. The discussions are not as lively as they once were. Many posts with NO replies or just one or two, maybe three replies. There once was a time when I would visit this board and most threads had at least a dozen or two dozen...
