Grabbed some macro from the table outside the pen, a green monti with red polyps from Norm, and a mystery frogspawn. I didn't look too hard, but in talking with folks it seemed like there were a few scores out there. If you snooze, you lose I reckon!

I'm looking at the difference between a brand new A150W and an old A150W. Big difference in intensity due to the cover on the old one being quite clouded. I tried to clean the external surface with wipes and IPA, but no luck. It seems it's on the inner surface. But how to get at it...

We thought that we'd split out the gear for sale/items wanted into a separate thread so the July event thread didn't get too diluted. My plan is to try and update this first post of the thread daily with names and items. We ask you post them into this thread. I've taken out the following...

Why does my SSB get so nasty? Nasty as in when I siphon out some sand it's nasty stinky. I'm actually removing it slowly to go back to BB in my 80 so this will be a moot point. I have a shallow 1/2"-3/4" or so of oolite, moves around some, I'd get a pretty good biofilm going on top, some...

I have a marginalis in Q for two weeks. Pounding the blackworms and mysis, loves clams. Should I shred the clam somewhat before I throw it in to make it easier to eat? The fly cherry picks the guts and the like, tries to shred the meat, but not that successful. That leaves a big honking...
