Don't remember the name of the store there in Manasass, but that is where I found the cheapest tank, w/o going towards baltimore. Quoted $640 on a rr 180, not sure about livestock quality though. A.S.Pets, Aquatic world, vienna and wally's, and most everything else, was in the $700's. Does seem to depend on timing and avail, so call around. Glasscages.com is good if you want to wait for a show.

Micheal, Copperbands ever go after mojanos? Peppermints have taken care of aptasia anems, but don't touch the mojanos. I have gone acidic and basic, but they have always shown their heads again in a couple of months. Doug

Michael, I definitely want to attend, at least to watch. I was looking to build a kalk reactor, but need to learn how to work with these materials. Hope to get in if you do a bulk order too. Doug

Would be interested inattending on 7th

Depends. Are you going to call me a dumbs#@! for fouling up my regulator, or just generally curious? My excuse is that I graduated EE, not ME.

Thats what the instructions recommend. I added the "blowing up the second stage" for fun.

After blowing the pressure relief valve on a new regulator across the room, I closed ALL valves (and you know where I'm going on this!), replaced it and turned on the main CO2 tank. The secondary is now hosed. I guess the diaphram is gone too since it reads about 140 psi, goes around to the pin when on, and all pressure is on the needle. Can it be fixed, or am I off to get another. Please tell me there are others that might have goofed up in their first calc reactor, and I'm not the only idiot?

try here

Send pics of the babies, even if they were unwanted red-headed stepchildren I threw out of my house.

using their gallery. looked fine in a preview when I first posted. ?????? I'm new to this, does RC block posting to their galleries? Do I need to post them somewhere else on the internet other than my gallery on RC? or try RC thread

by the way, this went on for about 45 min until the lights went out.

Started this in reefcentral, but thought I'd try here to. This is a pic of my tang in and amonst my LT anemone last night. Occasinally he would take a chomp on a tentacle. The anemone was spawing at the time. First time I've seen this, for both of these instances. Any thoughts on how he could get away with this without getting "stung" like mad? Everything looked fine this morning. Thoughts?

Will be showing up with some sort of dish? (fruit probably). Doug Arthur
