I'll have to ping Vince & Steve on that. Thanks!

Thanks, I'll keep you in mind!

As the title says, I'm looking for someone (hopefully nearby) who would be willing to lend/rent me a majano wand. I've got a couple of large, "well-placed" aiptasia that have already survived multiple applications of Aiptasia-X and really need to die. :blast:Thanks!

Glad to hear he pulled through - sounds like we should just call you "Androcles"

What do you do with a perfectly good 90G reef tank?

I think your wife's just found her new holiday display space. I have no idea how she decorates other than for Christmas, but if she's like my wife ... let's just say, good luck reclaiming custody of that tank. -
As with the various school/educational tanks elsewhere on the site, let me know when you need frags for your Science Center tanks. I'm sure I'll be able to provide a variety.

I just wanted to post a global "thank you" for your generosity on all this equipment - Fred (Ebenezer's nephew) would be proud!

It might work - I had a slow leak at the top corner joint of my 30 cube, and a bead of BRS thick super glue has kept it from leaking for about two years. That being said, it's arguably still a "temporary" solution, and there's very little pressure on my repair location. So, before you try it, decide whether and how much that bead of super glue will add to the pain of redoing everything if it doesn't work. If you decide to go ahead, make sure you monitor that location closely, and be prepared for a re-do.

Reefcleaners is good. I've also gotten good things from Reefs2go and Ccritters.

I'll take it!

I think it's a matter of trust in the vendor and risk tolerance. On the one hand, the fish "should" be healthy and disease free, and so quarantine "should" be unnecessary. On the other hand, it only takes one sick fish (and not necessarily symptomatic) to cause major damage. I don't know that there's a single "right" answer in all cases.

I think it's generally a combination of unmet expectations and/or life changes. For short-timers, the hobby turns out to be more [difficult | expensive | complicated | time-consuming | fill-in-the blank here] than they anticipated, and then something causes a tank crash or similar trigger, after which they decide to hang it up. For people who have been doing it longer, they've made it through the expectations vs. reality phase, but evolution on the home front creates a situation where it isn't "fun" anymore. The enthusiasm falls away, the negative aspects begin to dominate, and they decide to take a "no-fault divorce" from reefing. These folks, judging by what I've seen on the boards (and occasionally felt myself) are more likely both to depart gracefully and come back in the future.
