if you "melt" your own zoa's, make sure not to inhale ;) http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/notrocketscience/2011/04/05/world%E2%80%99s-2nd-deadliest-poison-in-an-aquarium-store-near-you/#more-4232

GE 9325 ((not blue)white) with Coralife Colormax (6700k+Pink) or lower intensity light generally in the 5500-9500 kelvin range not blue warmer white light is great for plants and hard scape, while the pink makes your red shift plants and fish colors pop. :spin:

someone going for any of this? http://northeastcouncil.org/convention/ The Northeast Council of Aquarium Societies' 36th Annual Tropical Fish Convention will be held March 25-27, 2011 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cromwell, CT. Make plans today to attend! Registration is open! Our Friday...

I've heard PetSmart price match Petco back when Petco's sale was up to 75gal years ago, but ever since they capped it at 55gal, I have not heard of anyone getting $1/gal 75's accept from thatpetplace in Lancaster PA. generally PetSmart/Petco will only pricematch a tank sold by a competitor...

Union Square managers are very accommodating to this sale, all willing to special order anything they don't have in stock. the managers at the College Point store are complete tools. they made up some cock and bull story that 40 breeders were not included in the sale, when they are clearly...

yup - it's closer to 16 height - my bad :o

google for any tank volume calculator http://www.fishlore.com/ConversionCalculator.htm plug in 36, 18, 20, (40b dimensions) and the result is well over 50 gallons. even 36, 18, 19 is over 50 gallons when you figure the water it not full to the top. why they call this tank a 40 breeder I'll...

good news after a bit of sweet talking my nearby PetlandDiscounts manager, I showed her a printout of the Petco sale, and she ordered me a 40gal breeder to pickup after their weekly truck delivery, so now I don't have to schlepp to Union Square to get one from Petco. I can just cushion, pack it...

U.S. government researchers believe the red lionfish (of Indian Ocean origin) was introduced into Florida waters during Hurricane Andrew in 1992 when an aquarium broke and at least six fish spilled into Miami's Biscayne Bay. With few natural predators, they have been rapidly expanding in...

anyone travelling from Manhattan through Queens this Sunday Jan.2 wants to earn an easy $10 read; please don't hate me 'cause I'm car'less :shhh: update - could not get a ride, so no 40b for me :headache: it's probably for the best, as I really want 75g. I just figured I could always resell...

I just confirmed next week this annual sale will be back. unfortunautly, many NY stores I called may only sell; 10gal, 20hi, 20long, 29gal, and 55gal tanks at $1/gal if you are looking for 40gal 36x18x16 breeder tanks; some stores will include it in the $1 sale only if it's in the store...

I PM'd a few times, no replies. so either he changed his mind or they are already gone.

now considering this used nearby $165 tank & stand; http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/for/2132071632.html but once i add transportation costs, I'm over budget :o

I'll keep that in mind for my next purchase, thanks again. I have a 30gal on a fiberboard wall unit that was never designed for a tank; I see first hand this bowing potential. I still need to keep my focus on the tank itself for now. 48x18 is an established standard I can platform at anytime. I...

trin - just curious... what made you decide against AGA's standard 210gal 72x24x29 way back then? is it because you wanted acrylic or that extra foot would not work out for your space? I ask because I'm caught between a standard AGA and going with glasscages - I just can't seem to find any...
