    Strange Behavior(s)

    Just curious what strange behavior folks observe in their tanks. My critters are a strange bunch anyway, but these two pretty much take the cake. This is video of my Skunk Cleaner cleaning inside of my Starki's mouth (a nightly event, as soon as the Starki goes into his cave for the evening)...

    Hall of Shame

    Just curious how many folks out there stumble across tanks, particularly in commercial establishments, which would qualify for the Hall of Shame. Went to Pappadeaux (Kemah waterfront) last night for dinner; just inside the front door they've got a marine tank (100ish gallons) that they've...

    Evolution and Species

    Brandon started a thread here awhile back about evolution. Can't seem to find it now. One poster, questioning the validity of evolution asked (paraphrasing) "Show me an example of a species evolving to adapt to its environment." Well, here you go, kids: Lizards Rapidly Evolve after...

    Flagyl?

    Anybody have any idea where to get this? No vet I've talked to will prescribe it without diagnosing the fish (ok, I guess I understand that). Any other ideas for treating a clown with an [apparent] internal parasite?

    Canister Filter Questions

    I'm considering buying a canister filter for once a week water polishing (I don't currently run carbon or other media in my system, just LR and ASM G1x skimmer). Since I have a few softies in the tank, I'm wondering if that will facilitate removal of some of the toxins they emit. Anyone do the...

    New Tank

    Well, after months and months of preparation, my tank finally has water in it. No longer will I have to listen to my wife say "nearly $3000, and not even one drop of water. When will it ever end?" :roll: Well, now I tell her it's finally ended. Little does she know, it's only just begun :D...

    Epoxy recommendations for bonding LR

    Can anyone suggest a good epoxy (that can be purchased locally, as opposed to ordering off of the 'net) that is aquarium safe? None of the stuff at Lowe's looks to be aquarium safe (with the exception of the putty, but I'm not sure that will be effective for bonding LR).

    Filling strategy for new tank

    OK, L-2 weeks and counting. Finally time to stop ticking off my list of things left to procure–now it's time to start thinking about operations. Finished installing a dedicated circuit last weekend, looking forward to actually turning my 76 gallon garage queen into a piece of living room decor...

    Gotta love it

    My wife and I are headed to Cozumel :bandit: next week; yesterday, we planned to go by the Scuba shop, and of course, being Sunday, it was closed. Me: Well, gee, honey, that's too bad, but hey, Bay Area Aquarium is RIGHT THERE, next door. Wanna go in and look? Her: [sigh] I suppose. You...

    Marco Rocks

    Anyone have any opinions, good, bad or other, on Marco Rocks, or transactions with same? I realize that they're primarily dry/base rock, but volume for weight, they seem like a good deal.

    Lighting Question

    De-lurking here after about two months in the shadows... Hoping I can tap into some of the collective wisdom and experience here to help me decide on lights for my tank (76g half circle). I'm going to start the tank as FOWLR but would like to preserve the option of moving towards a soft reef...
