that's like taking an alcoholic to a bar and saying "don't drink!"
it's just plain wrong!

 

[Mr James]

In this case, the "acroholic" has to have something more than dial-up service.

I'm still working on Mike links above.

Chack out this one. I haven't been able to figure out if they do selling on line, but everything looks real good:

You did?? Sweet!! Is the Rhodo a phyto also?? Grown like you would other types??

 

[IslandCrow]

Alright, here a rea few links I promised to post from the meeting:

This first one is for Randy's two-part formula. . .well, three part with the magnesium supplement. It also has the link for Buckeye Field Supply where you can get Mag/Dow flake online in much smaller than 1 ton quantities:

Randy's 2-part Recipe


Here's the article on magnesium supplements. It talks about why Epsom salts is not a good supplement by itself over an extended period unless you are good about doing water changes (at least 30% monthly):

Magnesium supplements


And lastly here's another chemistry calculator. I'm pretty sure James posted a similar one or perhaps even the exact same one, but I can't seem to find it now. . .

Reef Chemistry Calculator

Rhodomonas is a red phytoplankter that needs just a little but more f/2 than nanno. It's also a bit bigger than nanno. The guy that runs that site has got some great pics and a scale up of nanno and rhodo. The hatchery I used to deal with would have 100L bags of it and let me tell you, when that stuff was nice and thick it looked like a huge bag of amberbock! I've never grown tetraselmis before, so it'll be interesting to see how it turns out. Next stop, rotifers

[Mr James]

I copy (right click and select "copy") it from the address bar and then come in here and right click again and "paste".

EDIT: If you aren't using a mouse, push the Ctrl and "C" button together to copy and Ctrl "V" to paste.

Check out this one for Metal Halide comparisons: http://www.cnidarianreef.com/lamps.cfm

And for the Zoanthid freaks, these guys look cool: http://www.marineflora.com/

 

[60Cubed]

this guy is in mobile check out his acro frag prices.....http://www.aquaticcorals.com/

 

[60Cubed]

found this guy on ebay. he is in fl. check out his in state shipping rates: http://stores.ebay.com/The-Exotic-Reef

 

[Mr James]

Prices look a little high - for the AquaticCorals. $36 for brown star polyps, yikes!!

Teh second link is more promising. Still worried about parasites, bugs and other nasties.

EDIT: Lance, we should save on shipping, drive down there (Roadtrip) and pick our own. Hit some other stores and people's tanks while we are at it.
