There's an gaming/internet storm brewing over some crazy customer service response at Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/ns2pu/pa_makers_of_avenger_controllers_take_money_and/ But what's interesting is the reference to a reefcentral thread regarding a request for pink zoanthids...

Bought from twopartsolution but never used it or opened it. Low cost 2 part solution maintaining calcium and alkalinity. $10 for 32 cups each.

$80 for two new Ushio 250 Watt 10K Metal Halide Mogul Base. Bought replacements for a single ended fixture, and then switched to double ended.

The Six-Figure Fish Tank Catches On http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/19/garden/19aqua.html I feel such a sense of freedom since I downsized from a 150-gallon reeftank to a 15-gallon freshwater shrimp aquarium.

Took down my reeftank a few years ago, and I never kept a lionfish, but I thought this article link would also be interesting: http://food.theatlantic.com/sustainability/save-a-reef-eat-a-lionfish.php

Fellow former aquarium keeper forwarded me this article. I did notice a definite drop in my power bills when I took down my 150-gallon tank (recent PG&E was under $80). I'm hoping when I set up another tank one day that the equipment will be a a lot more power efficient. I'm really looking...

Nice Wordpress theme, Kyle. I'm thinking of using Wordpress too so that I can add more to my site.

I took down my 150-gallon tank last September because I needed a break. I had automated as much as I could, but the regular maintenance chores started to overweigh the enjoyment I received from the tank. Another concern I had was what a natural resource hog my tank had become. Between the...

Noted some tissue necrosis on some of the corals today, but I'm sure the tank is still settling down. All the clams looked good. The gorgonians were gorgeous in Caribbean reef exhibit. http://picasaweb.google.com/charles.lai/CalAcademyOfSciences# Didn't get a chance to get in to the rainforest...
