You are so correct! My hatred for acrylic just reached another level! 3 days ago, my 250g acrylic bowfront tank started to leak from the back. Upon further inspection we found out that the eurobrace had completely separated from the back wall. We where able to glue it back together with Weldon...

I have been snorkling in the Keys since the 80's. It is interesting to see the changes from one summer to the next. In the mid 90's there was so much algae and silt, you couldn't see the rocks on the bottom anymore. I think it has improved, but who knows what it's gonna look like this year...

I got a black Sun Coral in LA beginning of January and it got "lost" in UPS....it opened for the first time about 2 weeks ago.

Remember though, Homestead is a big farming area, I would be concerned about fertilizer in the ground.

Hmm, I bought one under, I guess, temporary insanity, it's still in the box, I presume that's where it's gonna stay....

I was in LA in January and knocked myself out buying zoos..... I brought most of them home in a soft sided ice chest. Security at LAX insisted on the Xray, I begged in vain... but no damage done. I asked the stewardess to put the chest in a closet for me, no problem either (Continental) Now as...

There must be 3 to 4 dozen stores in South Florida alone, and as everywhere else, there is good, mediocre and bad. And it's also a matter of personal preference, my favorite stores might be other peoples least favorites.... I like to collect my own stuff in the Florida Keys, now that's something...

Does anyone actually have this bulb? I am about to order 3 and while it's a great deal, I don't want to throw my money out the window either. http://www.insidesun.com/index.php?action=item&id=364

A lot of people said the same thing, it eats fishes, the vast majority has nothing but bad to say.... Well, I wonder if this is from real experience or here say. This was an Ebay transaction, so I can't back out. The seller lives about 10 min away from me, so that's a good thing. I also have a...

One of the bulbs say Hamilton 175W the other two have no writing at all Sorry about the link http://www.insidesun.com/index.php?action=item&id=364

This is my current setup over my 180 g: 3 x 175W pulse start MH, two long and one bubble shaped on a 3 in one ballast 2 x 48" Coralife 40W 03 actinics I have had the tank since April 1st and have no history on the bulbs, so I assume it's time to change. I would like to increase the light...

So, warum hast Du so einen scharfen Humor? Mehr vorbereitet? Wie und warum? Mein aquarium sieht gut aus, alles blueht und gedeiht, was kann ich tun um besser vorbereitet zu sein? More prepared? In what way? My tank is doing good, everything is thriving, what would I change in order to prepare...

Well David, that's why I am asking the questions, and yes I would LOVE to take care of it for 100 years :) you got the magic anti aging formula?

It's a green Carpet Anemone, 11" the seller has had it for a year and says it's healthy, that's all I know. I've been wanting one, but I understand they are poisonous. I have a 180 g with 3 x 175 MH, should I go for it? I got about an hour to decide.....

It is a Florida Saltwater Fishing Licence, that's all. So only good in Florida.
