I will be there with the tank tomorrow.

I have a regular empty 10G tank that I can bring if miles405 cannot bring his. LMK.

Ebay with bing search (8% off) gives an attractive price, actually lower price than CL. Some sellers seem to be dependable, and ebay/paypal offer protection. Make sure you buy one with US warranty though and avoid the grey market ones, or you might be on your own when it comes to repair. I...

I asked a LFS for such a bucket, and was told no problem as long as I could take it home :D.

That is an interesting idea. I remember getting these monster sized starfish under the bridge when i went there crabbing, even though it would be hard to justify driving all the way there just for the starfish. Just out of curiousity, is it legal to do it, and will these cold water starfish do...

Yeap, I always want to get the harlequins, and am glad that I finally did. I can just keep getting the CC starfish from Tyler, it even does not cost me anything since I bring in enough coral frags for him that I have enough store credit. But i hate the feeling of being a fish store starfish...

Thanks Eileen. I have quite a bit of asterina in my tanks also, and I siphoned out a bunch and put them in my nano tank where the Harlequins are. I used to think i have too many asterinas, and only realized how little they are compared to CC. It will probably take hundreds to make up one CC leg...

Vince, it feels more like fragging corals. You do it also, right? I don't think CC starfish legs will grow into new stars, at least Tyler told me I should keep the mouth intact if I want it to grow back. I cut a leg off one of the starfish about a week ago, the cut is healed with no new...

Thanks Perry, I might give them a visit during the weekend.

Arnold, do you remember how big they are?

Yeap, Dolphin is the place where I bought my harlequins and starfish, Tyler gave me a sweet pair of very healthy shrimps with big appetite. He has a bunch of CC starfish, and I picked the two largest ones, but they are still not big. So far I chopped off 3 legs already, and it seems to going to...

I bought a couple of harlequin shrimps last weekend, together with two chocolate chip starfish from the same LFS. The starfish are pretty small since they don't have any larger ones. I was hoping to just chop one leg off from one of the startfish once a while and let it grow back. But the...

I have been pouring almost a gallon of mag with the 5:3 chloride:sulfate mixing for the last several months without the two parts (I use Cal/kalk reactors), and did not realize that I am using the wrong formula until recently. I guess this means I have too much sulfate in my tank. How do I...

If there is a group buy, I am in for 3 buckets.

I am no expert on this, but am wondering if letting the mixed water sitting there for a long time will lower MG level. I mix saltwater about once a month, and my auto water change use it up in a little more than one month of time starting from the time the water is made. Just wondering.

Hmm, I have been using SeaChem Reef in the last half a year, and found my tanks was off about one and half a month ago. Salifert measured at 1100 for Mg, and I have been slowly trying to bring Mg up. It does take a lot of dosing to bring it up even a little.

Very nice Arnold. How do you handle the feeding during the weekend?

The power in my house actually went out for 4 hours this morning around 6pm. My UPS kept the 3 Vortech running for a couple of hours with no difficulty. After I got up, I fired up my Honda eu3000is for a couple of hours until the power came back. The generator is so quiet that it probably was...

I just looked over my electric bills for the last year, and December bill also came at the top. I do not have any electric heater for the house, and my whole family even went on a vacation for 10 days with all electronics except fish tanks turned off. So it has to be the fish tanks, and the only...

Jason, I compared Solarcity, Akeena, and a couple of other ones (I forgot the names), and Akeena came on top for me. I really like their service and quality of work, and I like their low profile panels. Give me a call at 650-210-6797 if you like more info about Akeena.
