Tech Diver, this a good refresher/reminder and vital to all new divers. My wife and I work in anesthesia so diving is akin to anesthetizing a patient. Like an airline pilot, we have a check list we utilize every time. This translated to diving easily for us as we go through a list the same way...

My experience is difficult to equalize also. R>L for whatever reason. Like more experienced RCers have commented, start equalizing early and near continuous on your descent. A buddy last dive outing recommended tilting the more difficult ear up while descending. I've never used decongestants...

Yep, I hope we can mount a defense/offense against the pests in FL.

See my other posts about my success. Over 2 years in captivity.

I too have a zebra and ribbon in my tank(>2 years). Never kept shrimp alongside as I have fed live gulf shrimp in the past & I don't know how my clan would react to fire or cleaners.

I currently have 9 tangs from 4" to 8" in size. I feed 6 sheets nori every other day typically.

Your info is correct. Cheap ,crappy generators can produce "dirty" power meaning high distortion. According to Gillette Generators, "a typical brushless portable generator with capacitor voltage regulation will produce from 30% to 40% harmful harmonic distortions to it's generated sine-wave...

Peter, mine started eating frozen squid from the bait shop on week one. I've got a zebra moray as well that ate from day one. Makes up for all the other losses I've experienced.

Peter, and other intersted parties, my blue ribbon is doing great. He/she has been in my tank for 2+ years. I wish I'd bought 2 when I got this one. The supplier had great results with the ribbons he had.

Lighten up frances. Twas a humorous jab.
