Be prepared to watch your skimmer and make water changes. If you have a lot of them they could release toxins or foul the water once you do the treatment. One trick (if they are clustered together) is to take some airline tubing and siphon out those that you can before adding the medication...

Hi ... based on the pics I'd vote for flatworms. I see some in every pic (kinda the rectangular rusty-brownish items), but the population is still pretty sparse. If you don't keep them in check they can explode in population and end up covering the rocks and corals (not trying to sound...

As of now still planning on coming and helping out in the corral ... hopefully no surprises between now and then!

Even better, he's on the front cover of the Chronicle. :-) Imagine my surprise when riding in on BART this morning to happen to glace over at the person reading the paper next to me and see Rich's smiling mug staring back! I'd wager that Rich is one of the very few people in the world who...

Jim, I use one that is stainless steel and looks like a 24" giant tweezer. It has held up really well so far, but I rinse with fresh water and dry it after each use. There's only a little bit of discoloration in one area and I've been using it for a year. I don't recall the exact name of the...

Regarding the skipper that used to be involved in BAR, you're probably thinking of Craig who runs the New Salmon Queen out of Emeryville. I can't recall his prices, but I took my daughters (17 / 13 at the time) out with him for a salmon run and they treated us royally. Never had any issue with...

Happy Anniversary!!!

Hi Dave: Jim would be my first recommendation as well, but if he's not in the position to rehome these, I can certainly take them all . I've got a 4x3x3 main display as well as a 125 refugium / sump + two additional refugiums that are only partially stocked at present. I'd also be...

Ebo-jaegers are historically my go-to top brand for the glass models, but I've heard reports that they aren't quite as good since they were bought out and the heater structure was changed (the old ones were in the green tubes but were a bit tough to adjust through the rubber top). I've had one...

That's odd ... is it possible that the tank somehow had a leak that caused the water to drain out and then exposed the heater, causing it to shatter? From the residue pattern it looks like the explosion occurred in the air rather than under water, in which case the material would have been...

Hey Charlie, I should be able to join and will help out in the swap corral. Robin

Hey Gresh, can you shoot me an email ... I'm not sure that the one I have is your current one, but if I'm in your address book mine hasn't changed for the past several years. Thanks, Robin

Thanks Gresh ... much appreciated!

Thanks guys ... MUCH appreciated! I definitely want to ease into this and not drop a ton of bucks, as many things at this age then to be white hot one month and "what, I never said I liked that" the next. She has had some longer term (9-12 months) interest in this and is the creative sort, so...

Hey Denzil, silly question perhaps but what is the distinction between a synthesizer and a DJ station? In the old days the stations were used to "warp" sounds from platters in order to create new sounds. It seems the synthesizer is similarly a device that is used to create sounds...

OK, now I am super lost with those names!!! "Merry Christmas sweetie ... here's a moog for you :)" Denzil, many thanks for looking into this and I'll search off those items. Robin

Hi All ... my 15 year old daughter currently has a thing for electronica (think Swedish House Mafia, etc.) and she's been playing a little on our PC with some app that allows her to lay down some tracks. I'm not sure how long this interest will continue ... maybe about as long as Hannah Montana...

Rommel, sorry to hear this ... good luck in the new ventures and no doubt you'll be back at some point! Robin

This thread is a great read ... kinda gives one the picture of the tribal "elders*" sitting around the campfire recanting tales of past sacrifices, heroics, opportunities, and experiences to the "young-uns*" of the tribe! * Disclaimer .... "elders" and "young-uns" may not specifically...

Ditto!!! Hope everyone has a very nice time with friends / family.
