  1. BRK had it - only ones with thread/thread in the general area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Does anyone have any thoughts on who my best shot is to find a 1" sch40 thread x thread bulkhead locally? I need it today... I work in Herndon VA and plan to start calling shops by distance but was hoping maybe someone knew who my best shot would be. I plan to run out late morning for an early lunch to pick it up if I can find it... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Looks like my husband is going to be towards quantum tomorrow so he may try to swing by there to start. I saw a few that are amazon prime, just need to take ours apart and see what will work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I think they were from autotopoff.com (or something like that). They are probably 6 or 7 years old now... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Looks like our float switch crapped out and I need to find one ASAP. Any chance anyone knows any local stores (prefer VA side) that would have any? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Exactly what they said. Do not cook rock with anything that could carry palytoxin. I went with bleach and acid (at separate times), and did it all outside. I used gloves (separate ones for bleach and acid) and would recommend a mask and goggles as well. I debated not even bothering with the rock but mine is probably a 30lb rock and I didn't want to lose it. My rock is now sitting out on the patio drying. It had a bleach bath for 24 hours, a freshwater bath for a few hours, then an acid bath for about 30mins. The acid bath removed the remaining GSP and polyps. I followed up with a freshwater bath for about 12 hours and It's sat in the sun for 2 days now.
  7. I'm actually in the process of this. I used stuff from the pet store as it was all I could find. I actually did the bleach for 24 hours, then sprayed it off with my hose, dechlorinated water for a few hours, and then an acid wash.. I probably should have waited but my readings were saying that the acid would get rid of the bleach... probably toxicly but it is outside. We are sitting in the acid wash now. I'm probably going to have to take a pressure washer to it next, pending I can coax my husband to get it out and get it started (the one we have is finicky and belongs in the trash). It took me over 2 years to get him to get the rock out of the tank, so I may be pressing my luck.
  8. Wow.. What was this, 3-4 years ago?? Surprised you have a picture of us fools. We may try and make it by tomorrow, just not sure how the schedule will play out. What was an empty day has suddenly become a list of things.
  9. I use gloves when I'm anywhere near my palys, or if I feel I may be disturbing them. I've had enough experiences with what we feel is palytoxin poisoning that I don't want to take another risk. I've got a pack of black nitrile gloves that I will rubber band on my wrist if I need feeling (and my arms have no open wounds on them), otherwise I have the giant awful coralife ones. I hate them, but I hate feeling like absolute crap from palytoxins as well.
  10. BRS group buys give you the lowest price even if you only buy just one. Each person purchase their orders separately and it ships to the individual, so you pay shipping if you are under the $175 threshold.
  11. It's hit or miss with them getting along. My diamond lives under a rock with 2 firefish and 2 blue gudgeons. My bicolor blenny lives above them in a hole. He can be a jerk at times though. I love my diamond but he's a real mess. My water is never clear as he lives to spew mouthfuls of sand everywhere. Drives me insane but he is so fun to watch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. It really boggles my brain that it took this long as well. Maybe they had in the past and I never noticed.. but unless it was hidden somewhere then I'm not sure how I would have missed it. Or maybe they finally realized they are stuck with each other and they might as well enjoy themselves
  13. Time to start the hunt for 2 liters then.. Guess I'll put a request out to my neighbors. I grew rotifers years ago, as well as brine shrimp. Now to freshen up and relearn things. Here they are. She's the normal false perc (petco special), he's a black and white. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Stumbled across a batch of clownfish eggs on the back wall of my tank last night. Total shock as I've had these two for (around) 6 and 8 years. This is the first time I've seen anything like this with them. I just had to share my excitement somewhere as my coworkers think I'm nuts already. Not looking to do anything with this batch, but if they keep it up I was thinking about it. I know there are other posts so I'll be reading around, but if you want to direct me to anything I should be checking out that would be great.
  15. Get your wife to watch my 1 year old and I'll come help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
