Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / January 2007

I was talking the other day with a friend about getting a tank a Xmas gift
but then we got into hazards which I didn't want to be liable for. He
mentioned from skin to respiratory issues.
I know is silly but I have to ask.  I'm not giving up my tank but got

I'm kind of a novice with my reef tank that we've had for a year and a half.
For the past couple of months, I've caught a quick peek at some critter that
I had never seen before.  I didn't buy him, and like I said, had not seen
him for the 1st year.  He only comes out at night (I ...

Does anyone know where I can buy bulk resin for DI cartridges online?  In

I have a bottle of this stuff on my desk, and I'm going on vacation
tomorrow for a week.  I can't setup the hospital tanks by tomorrow and
treat w/ copper because I can't locate a copper test and I'm not sure
how chemistry oriented my house keeper is.

Fish eat and waste(digestive) get on the bottom of the tank for so long
hoping to be cleaned.  Little critters will pick the upper layer of fresher
food but all the fish waste accumulate on the bottom creating somewhat
toxicity.

Since nobody said it...Happy New Year.
Bunch of aquarium geeks !
Any note worthy resolutions ???
I have none.
