Just to add my 2 cents, I really don't see a radical difference over the last year. Perhaps less in joking between friends, but not less helpful information. There is such a wealth of material on...

I understand you want prices listed, esp as they provide a good archive for future buyers and sellers. But doesn't an auction sale format give you that same information? What are the other reasons...

I wouldn't panic yet. Sounds like you are doing everything that can be done. He's probably stressed out from multiple moves, plus he's being medicated. So finish your QT, and if he's still hanging...

I hope this isn't thread hijacking, but there is no need to mix dry salt before mixing it with water, is there? Hopefully some of our elder statesmen can answer definitively.

I'm surprised the abyzz pumps don't come with corrosion-proof clamps in the first place. At least there are options out there.

I have "the flipper", and it works a treat. The magnets are not anywhere near as strong as most other mag cleaners, but it has a blade on one side scrapes off harder stuff. I also like that it has...

I see you have put ball valves on your drain lines. I hope it is not to restrict the drain, as you don't have an emergency overflow. I would fear a potential flood at some point. You also have...

I recently read this http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2013/12/aafeature. Although much of the science-y stuff starts to sound like gobbledygook in no time, it's still an interesting read. :)

Maybe people asked for pictures to see the scratches? Not sure if venting like that will help drive sales. :(

I see you are selling your Kessil. Are you going with a different light, or are you (god forbid) shutting this down? Inquiring minds need to know!

Safe to say if you have algae you have phosphates. You may be reading 0, that just means the algae is holding it.

WP-10?

Has anyone got their hands on the wp-10? Just curious how they compare to the wp-25. I think they went with a suction cup mount for the wp10 which is worse, but it looks 1/2 the size of the wp25. I...
