DOH! You're right. Bad memory I guess. After reading this I went to find it and realized it was the Coconut Carbon (Crushed Coral!? NOT). Thanks for the insight. ~R

Could CC be used as media in a canister filter? Two reasons for the question. Firstly, I have seen it used in RO/DI systems so I'm thinking it does have some use for filtering. It also seems like it would grow some bacteria which could help the overall water quality in the tank. Yes/No? I have...

That's what it was!! The one with the Digital LCD!! :cry: ~R

Its TRUE!! I have had my Titanium $50 heater for less than 20 hours and I already managed to fry it! :cry: Yup, I had a water emergency today and had to do a 70% water change. Not thinking about the new heater in the panic, I let the water down much further than the heater. Now it is burnt...

I did compare prices w/ both and SWF.com ended up almost 100 higher in price for the Fiji. <for me w/ shipping> Just remember though.. no matter what you buy, it WILL need to be cured again. No matter what you will have some die off on the trip from SWF to you, thus needing to be cured. From...

http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod ... pCatId=397 Got it from these guys. Was the cheapest around and yes.. I feel like I got a GREAT deal. The guy at the LFS tried to scare me away from it saying you can't see what your getting. They (LFS's) all wanted between 8-12 per #. Seriously...

Funny. How'd you get the pix? Brush in one hand cam in the other? ~R
