  1. Podcast #5 coming soon

    Working our booth today, we interviewed a number of vendors. Those videos are going to be appearing on our YouTube channel over the next few hours and days. The processing involved in importing, editing and exporting as well as upload time to YouTube - it all takes time, and we are going to need more minions to be able to do that at the show. We're hoping to streamline this somewhat, and practice will only make us better. It's really challenging to try to edit when people continue to come up ...

  3. Think I had my very first Precipitation last night, and it only took YEARS!

    LOL! I hate that it happened, because it is such a mess, but I am pretty sure that is what happened to my tank last night. I went home yesterday at lunch, and introduced my Berghia nudis to the tank. Since they were new to the surroundings, I turned all the lights off.

  5. Maidens Hair and Fuge question

    We've been in the saltwater aquarium world for about a year now. We've made lots of mistakes and encountered lots of problems, Byropsis, Cyano Bacteria, mis-information and now we have Maidens Hair in the main tank.

    I've contacted several people and had a positive response from Indo-Pacific Sea Farms. The person I emailed back and forth with told me that their Reef Tank Tune Up crew should do the trick. Does anyone have experience in this area?

    We have a 55 gallon tank ...
