    Coral Beauty is not eating

    I do use Ocean Nutrition cubes (I got some at MACNA). I also have a veggie clip. I don't think I will be able to catch her. She is way too fast. The water parameters are good. I had a little bit of Nitrates, but I added a bag of carbon 3 weeks ago. It should be fine now, I will check again tonight.

    What store do you go to in South Jersey?

    I spoke to the owner of the InLiving Color Aquariums when they just opened on Rt.70. He said that it costs millions to open an aquarium store. :o The sad part is after someone poisoned all the fish and live stock, insurance never paid them. As far as I know, they are still waiting for their...

    What store do you go to in South Jersey?

    Nice to meet you, Ray. Thank you for your post. I am glad I am not alone in Marlton. Seems like there are tons of opportunities around here: the closes store is 15 miles away and not a single good service company.

    actinic. why?

    I am also thinking about replacing my Actinics with 50/50 combination http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3733+8066+3794&pcatid=3794 This just seems more natural for aquariums, since it is far from deep sea water

    Miracle grow plant light

    What do you think about WINGO Aqua Pro Builder? I believe you can order a customer fixture for around $400.00. I saw him at MACNA. Very impressive system, just don't know if corals will agree. :-\

    What store do you go to in South Jersey?

    Oh, no! :o :( I buy my RO water there every week. I wonder ... the owners of the store that used to be on 73 are working there now. I guess they managed to bring this store down as well.
