You can purchase a large Mag Float cleaning magnet for about $20. If you have a large tank there are other brands that are much stronger and more expensive. It is a set of magnets. One piece goes inside the tank and the other outside. And you can quickly and easily clean it a couple times a...

What is meant when you say caulerpa "goes sexual"?

In my post above I mistook the Helios brand example I saw on ebay with the Hellolights brand mentioned as being a good hood above. Does anyone know if the Helios brand that are always for auction on ebay are any good? Eddie g

You can always get Hellio's systems cheaply on Ebay. Here is a link for an example. I have nothing to do with any auctions. I have just been looking there in case I end up picking up a large storage container to use as a sump or refugium in my basement...

Here is a link to the lowest price place I have found selling NASSARIUS VIBEX SNAILS: http://www.floridapets.com/ They only sell a few different products now. You would have to check about shipping. NASSARIUS VIBEX SNAILS these little snails are the finest reef tank cleaners available...

I know http://www.inlandaquatics.com/prod/tr_invert.html and http://www.aquatictech.com/inverts.htm both sell a very small white nudibranch called: Nudibranch, Aiptasia Eating (Berghia verrucicornis) . But I'm pretty sure they never get much bigger then a 1/4" or 1/2" so that's...

Last week I ordered five 55 watt pc bulbs from http://www.ahsupply.com/ The price per bulb was 25.99. Shipping was 5.75. The total was about 135.70. They packed it very well. But the top of 1 bulb was broke. I didn't notice it until I tested the bulb. I emailed them and they are sending...

I think I give bigalsonline.com a small test order tomorrow. Their 200 gal instnt ocean salt is 33.99 plus 16.46 for shipping to Chicago. $50.46 total seems like a pretty good price. I think that is a few dollars cheaper then Pet Wharehouse. I think I usually received my salt within 3 or 4...

Thanks everyone. I was hoping someone might have known a Home Depot around Chicago where I could get some Southdown. Eddie G

I live in Chicago. I have been to 5 Home Depot's in the area. All of them sell Decorative Landscape Sand. It says it is premium playground sand. It says it is washed or cleaned wet. Then dried. And then bagged. It is sold in 1/2 cubic yard bags for $2 plus change. I think the bags are about 50...

Thanks Dan. That is one of the old sites I was thinking of. I couldn't find it because I kept thinking it was: http://www.aquanetics.com/ There was another one that I can't remember. Eddie G

I posted the last message here by mistake. I wanted it to be a new topic. Sorry. Is there some way I can erase it or should I just leave it here? Eddie G

Does anyone have an online site that sells tanks etc to fish stores. In the past I had a site that sold the large round, rectanglular, and square rubber, plastic and metal tanks that fish places like Harbor Aquatics keep their live rocks and corals in. It also sold squarish or rectanglular...

Just thought I'd mention that today I received a nice 200+ page, Readers Digest sized product booklet from www.bigalsonline.com. I looked at their site because a few people mentioned it and I received the booklet and some other flyer papers today. Eddie G
