David The stuff I got from you is going in 3 different Prince Williams Schools. The teachers have already setup the tanks and I put the frags in last night. Everything made the transition. Grav I have some small frags of red/orange plating monti. PM me if you want some.

Here is the link to the jbj lighting site.

I was at roozens and they had 3 gem tangs They were the prettiest tangs I have seen. But $1000... More than i can afford this week.(maybe we dont need food and electricity and cable)

I have made a 8 inch wide cut in the back of the hood so I could hang a sea clear 100 skimmer. this vent makes the heat drop a lot by allowing the air to escape. link to post on the setup of this nano

Ook is a slang term the real name is gunkus.funnkymess

I have had great luck with RED LEGGED HERMIT CRABS Clibanarius digueti Congregos Ermitanos Arthropa super family - - Coenobitoidea (Hermit Crabs) family -- Diogenidae genus -- Clibanarius species - - digueti they come from the Lower Gulf of Mexico and outer Baja to Bahia de Magalena. Species is usually red in appearance with expanded chromatophores forming blue spots over their cheliped (claws) and walking legs. The antennae and antennules are bright red. The tips of all legs are also red or orange. This small crab is the best algae eating hermit crab I have tested. Chibanarius digueti feeds on algae that grows on the rocky substrate and mangrove roots. C. digueti occupies a large variety of shells. I have found entire colonies in broken sand worn shells. Both the Blue leg hermits and the red San Sabastion crabs always are collected in clean fresh shells. Both of these crabs have eat snails. In nature C. digueti feeds by scavenging the algae that has started to decay from being exposed at low tide. I have never seen one of these guys kill a snail. These red legged crabs are very effective at eating hair algae. I have observed many small C. digueti settle in the center of patches of hair algae and stay there for several days until they have cleared a patch over one inch in diameter. This small hermit crab will clean red sponges and small polyp colonies and not damage them in any way. I have watched these crabs clean red cyanabacteria from new polyps and not damage the cuttings. The only place I have found them for sale is Garf.org On another note if you want to clear up the problem... try putting a bag of Purigen and a sheet of polyfilter in your sump or filter. The combination strips the stuff that grows algae (phosphates) from the water. I have seen hair algae die in a few days with this combo you can get them locally or from drfostersmith.com

I ran across this story as I was looking for news for the front page of our site.. Rebuilding Coral Reefs to Save Beaches It is nice to see some good news

Got some more eggs from the clowns suncoral I got from Dr Mac I wonder who will control this rock in a year. I took this 3 weeks ago. the bright orange zo's have now faded to a wierd pink. A small group I found in a frag bag You can find all of these pics and a lot more in the WAMAS Gallery

I have used Limestone for years as a base rock to build up the size of my rock then covered it with live rock. There is a good source in lorton for ten cents a pounds...

LionFish (new member) Has a new 150 And needs any kind of starter frag donations. He has 250 watt MH so he can keep almost anything. He is a neighbor of mine, but cant come to the meeting (Wife just had surgery). He does'nt have anything to trade yet but he is a friend worth having . He can help members with electrical issues. If you have anything to donate look for me at the meeting.

Here is the link to my NANO I did a step by step photo log of the tank growing in

I can bring: Octopi Squid

I have had great success with Lime/water paste. shot off all water flow...I mix a paste of lime and water, suck it up in a turkey baster, then I cover the the little bugger with it. I have never had one come back.

I am bringing myself and doris and 2 teenage girls I will bring a : 2 big pacs of Nathans kosher hot dogs buns for above

Another cool trick I have used is to put Rit Dye (Purple) in the mix. The darker rock it makes seems to colonize faster with coraline. If you put this off until August I will come and help.
