I had a dwarf bicolor angelfish for several months that did beautifully and then died for no apparent reason. I did a little research and found out that many wild caught fish are caught using cynide which causes liver damage after several months. I don't know for sure that this was the cause but...

octopus like to hide, I would suggest lots of rock. I would imagine they would rearrange the rock too, so you may want to glue some pieces together if you think they might shift and break the glass. octopus are escape artists and can fit through very small holes, shedding their beak if need be...

I found that B&H has the best everyday prices, you usually can't beat them unless you find some place having a sale. If you ship out of state you can avoid sales tax.

I own a cannon rebel xti and I love it. It has excellent ratings. I bought it at B&H photo, they had the best price. If you have it shipped out of state you can avoid paying sales tax.

For red eared sliders I would recommend no gravel or large smooth stones. Smaller gravel and sand can be eaten and become impacted in the intestines. Turtles and water turtles in particular can scratch their shells on course surfaces, this is even more important to take in consideration when...

I grew up in nassau so I don't know commack that well but I know there are a few areas on long island where nice neighborhoods are butted up next to crappy neighborhoods so check the surrounding areas. By new york standards suffolk is very spacious so you should be able to find a fairly roomy...

The picture was supposed to be taken out in montauk, but there is no body just a photo so it's obviously a fake. I think that this is a publicity stunt for a movie or something. This is similar to how the Blair Witchhunt was promoted.

Thanks guys. I was looking for a place with tidal pools so I could catch small inverts. I checked out fort totten, seems like a good spot to set a killie trap in the water but not much in the way of tidal pools or places to wade in the water except for one small beach at the very western end of...

Try hanging out at the bar and coming home at 4am on a regular basis. Suddenly fishtanks won't seem like such a bad hobby.

fish stores that sell fish for human consumption sometimes have those disposable styrofoam coolers for your non fish related items: if you need boxes and packing supplies try the free section of craigslist liquor stores are also a good source of roach free moving boxes clothing, blankets and...

I've never installed one before but I can recommend that you resist the urge to overtighten any connectors, you can always tighten them again later
