Must really really suck to be named Carol Gulley.......virtually all
members of the other aquaria groups have kill filtered the bitch and
no one even responds to her anymore., Just this bunch of losers inthe
reef group,  that seem to be emphatuated with  the idot loon...and

got her pityfull hands slapped  by a few folks and decided to have
another meltdwon. Must suck to be carol gulley....or maybe Wayne
invited her into this group so she can post just breaking news alerts
to all  who are incapable of cyphering things  out for

They hunker down to an a.shole like CArol Gulley and her multitude of
sock puppets and nym shifting, and donl;t have the common sense to see
the momre they reply to CArol and her socks the mosre cross posts are
made to other gorups thereby doing her deeds for her plus trashing

My new PC lights seem to be running very hot! Each fixture is 36"
with two 96 watt bulbs.After an hour or so the end with the switches
gets very hot.Not so hot that you cant lay your hand on it,but
enough to make it uncomforable to do so.Is that normal? Also there

It's well publicized that live copepods are the only thing that Mandarins will
reliably eat. Well, I have a starving Mandarin in a 125 gallon tank with
established live rock. Prior to getting the Mandarin, I had several diatom
blooms, but not since he arrived. I also used to have ...

One of my pincushion urchins got my Feather Duster stuck onto its spines
yesterday. The feather duster didn't seem too put out to start with and
was extended for most of his trip around the tank - eventually he
retracted for a bit longer than normal so I "rescued" him and

All 5 legs on my brittle star are broken off and he's now laying on the
bottom of the tank in a heap.  I may have moved some rocks during a
recent water change, but all 5 legs?  At roughly same length?
I added 6 emerald crabs, a lawnmower blenny, and 20 snails recently.

I've finally arrived.  My diatoms are starting to subside as well.  I
haven't cleaned my back glass in a few days and I can still see through it.
I still have some fluff balls of algae around, but my rocks have
reemerged from their jungle phase.

Hi everyone--
I figure many of you are here because you enjoy giving input to
others.  So here we go:  I'm taking control of a 200 gallon aquarium
which is currently running in the classic and awful sterile fish-only

Do you consider this plant invasive in reef tanks ?
I got a small piece of rock with this plant to my
10 gallons nano-reef but looking at how fast does
it grow and how many different patches pop up on

Is anyone using the large size?  I have a 90-gallon tank with a 12" wide
glass center brace.  There is only 17" of space on either side of the brace,
and the refugium wont fit in that.  My question is whether it can straddle
the brace, with outlet and inlet on opposite sides of ...

The header says it all;  Should it be once a day; everyother day? How often
should you feed the fish?
This is a simple question that doesn't require BS going back and forth like
some of the other posts. No Trolls or  Troll bashing please

Can we drill a hole in the back wall of
a standard ALL-GLASS 10 gallon tank?
Is it made of a tempered glass or a normal float?

What is everyone using to cover their powerheads to prevent anemone accidents? I use sponges to cover my Hagen's, but they are a
pain. Anyone doing it another way?

Just want to say thanks to all of those that have been helpful over the last
year.
You know who you all are.  I wont be using this group any longer
for obvious reasons.
