When I first got into the hobby, Eric was my hero too. I suppose, being young and niave and having been personal friends with him at one point, the disenchantment hit me harder than most (when I learned of his various mishaps). There are times I regret that, back then, I felt compelled to...

Well, it looks like he hasn't made any kind of public appearance (in the aquarium hobby context) in at least a year. Though it might sound obnoxious coming from me (given that, a couple years ago, I zealously campaigned against his merit/reputation as a researcher)... but I do hope he "comes...

Wow, I never thought about using those ear-flushing bulbs with some tubbing. What a good idea!

That would be my guess too... first is Stomatella snail (cute little guys) and the second looks like the Botryocladia sp algae I have in my refugium. I don't know if you should pop them or not... I usually just strap it off with a razor.

It's not the same as Joe's Juice. Joe's Juice doesn't work. Blue Life works (in my experience), but it is kind of a pain to apply (you have to be real careful and deliberate in getting it into the mouth).

No kidding!

Yeah, but the problem is that the CDHC thought they were going to a "research facility." Obviously, they were a bit irked when they found out they had gone to a commercial wholesaler's warehouse where Indo pacifics were also constantly coming and going. Among other reasons, corals from...

Hey Jake! I didn't know you were on this forum too! Cool. :) Re, the thread topic... the RC fall out and CHDC fiasco have pretty much nothing to do with each other. The RC thing had to do with a conflict between Bomber (Jerel from Flordia) and EB. As for the CHDC thing, to understand what all...

Ditto. I've also had good experience with Seacrop. http://www.seacrop.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc

Actually, I think this is discussed quite a bit on forums and in any decent marine aquarium book. It's also discussed quite a bit on websites like this one (Advanced Aquarist), RK, WWM, etc. But anyway... what's with the pic?

Prolonged 1.030 is too high. I remember reading some research on this (though I don't quite remember where). But it seems that it's actually easier to have salinity that's too high than too low (i.e. more damage with too high salinity than too low salinity by the same degrees-- over the same...

Well I asked Bob F. and he said it's from rapid growth. I guess that's good then. :)

My alk and pH are good. But I know what bleaching out coralline looks like. This is just different. It's doesn't just have white spots. It actually has white bumps. It's pretty weird.

Hi, does anyone have any idea of what might be going on here? Does coralline spawn?

LOL! Pixar has got nothin' on you Len. ;)
