He was in my 80gal for 2 years. He is now in my new 180gal for 4 months. I have never seen him/her touch a coral but he does eat algae off of the glass and rock. Feed twice a day. Different flake foods.

Is there anything wrong with running a mag 7 on one inlet and your sen 900 on the other? The reason I ask is I just killed one of my mags by allowing a string from a media bag to get sucked in. It caused all 4 housing screws to strip out. I am toying with replacing the busted 7 with a 9.5. I...

Funny, I am running two Mag 7s and I love the ev 200's performance. I have not tried any other pump however. My LFS is using two Rio 2500's on their ev 200 and the foam production seems to be the same. It did take me 4 weeks to really get it dialed in, but know I am happy.

Funny you bring up size. The Powder Blue was as promised but the Purple Tang was bigger than promise. Here in the Bay Area a Purple Tang the size I got would have been $75 on the low end and $120 at some of the outragous places.

Over the last 6 years I have order several fish and corals via the mail. I just set up a new 180. When I saw PW sale on Powder Blue and Purple Tangs I had to give it a shot. What I got was unreal quality. Fat and healthy. Packaging was as good as any I have seen. To make the order pay off...

I've checked all those places plus Aquarium Concepts. If you can trust someone to pick out great rock for you then contact Jason at Premium Aquatics. He hand picked 80lbs of exta large pieces for 2.59lb. I got no rubble. Nothing smaller than 12" across. Nothing that was round. Everything...

What exactly is his setup? Does he want people coming by?

I was wondering what was up with RR. I first saw their add several months ago in FAMA. I work in Pleasanton and I know right where that address is and I could not for the life of me figure out how a company could be located there. I got he impression that it was strictly an internet company...

Also CA only covers the exposed areas of LR. The bottom and several sides that don't have light exposure won't get covered.

Sorry that the topic has switched. I went to RS today to use my 6 month old gift certificate just incase the rumor was true of their closing plus to check things out. I too have been hanging around since the Blue Cove days. I was very surprised at the selection. Very Very little for corals...

Wow I am surprised about Reef Science. It was started by the former Oakland A Lance Blankenship and I always liked how he ran the place. I was there last in February and he had 40+ clams all looking very healthy. 100+ corals too. Obviously the must be having a serious problem. I am sure the...

Ken H. Jump on? Sorry no more room. It's safer in pairs.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are sure bets for something coming in. Ken usually is not in on Sundays and Mondays. He is liable to be there anyday depending on his staffing and what needs to be done. His new store will be nearly 3 times the size of the current one. There are always new employees...

It is moving to a building on the corner of Foothill and I believe Russell. Place is being renovated before he moves his store over there. Several months away.

PADI since 1994. Best week in my life was my Honeymoon when my wife and I did it 4 times a day in the Grand Caymans. Twice a day off a boat and 2 times from shore. One of those shore dives would happen around 9:30 each night. You'd be surprised what comes out at night.
