So I'm painting my below deck aluminum gas tank for my boat to avoid salt water corrosion (the death of my last tank) and did a lot of research on epoxy paints for the job. What it came down to is this stuff from Devoe Coatings called BAR-RUST 233H. It meets CA's VOC standards and is approved...

math dorks out there will recognize the name, well he came out with a new search engine, well more of a machine learned solution solver...like all types of math, calc, chemistry, physics. etc...does well with common name to species names too, pretty sweet. http://www51.wolframalpha.com/

Hi, Does anyone else have to enter their log in twice? At first I thought I was just being slopping typing it in, but no matter how careful I am, I have to log in twice.... Thanks, Josh

My new frog fish got stuck to the side of a Koralia 3, luckily I caught it in time and freed him before any damage was done. Anyone have any problems with this? Any mods that might help? I was thinking about wrapping the outside of it with a thin piece of foam, similar to the solve for the...

Just saw this commercial, its hilarious and kind of makes me want to check it out. Anyone been? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMbsZU83ajc Cheers, Josh

Looking for Palaemontes Vulgaris, aka white shrimp, marine ghost shrimp to serve as live feeders. There is a couple good online sources, but I rather buy from a LFS, anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! Josh

So I finally got my hands on some Oyster Feast, the first couple days of feeding I didn't really notice the the corals reacting any different than with other foods. But this mornings feeding they went nuts! I never seen so much polyp activity, also my fish go nuts when that stuff hit the...

Putting together my predator tank, I know a cliche phase ;) but I'm excited about it and that's what counts. Anyone seen some cool lion fish, frog fish, scorpion fish, or leaf fish at any of the LFS? I definitely want a Fu-Manchu lion if anyone has seen one. Thanks! Josh

Hi All, I've have upgraded yet again and have a 24 NanoCube DX and various other things. I was thinking it would be cool to have a DBTC edition for non-coral items, like live rock, sand, tanks, and equipment. Similar to the coral edition, those who receive someone's surplus sand or live...

Hi All, I need a 1/4" sheet of aluminum, about 30" by 34", who in the Bay Area would sell something like this? Thanks, Josh

Hi All, I've had a tank cycling for about 5 weeks now, started with dry rock and sand and a cocktail shrimp. The shrimp as dissolved away into nothing, I seeded the tank with my established tanks water, some sand, and LR rubble. I didn't check any parameters for the five weeks, just...

Noticed a little round "melted" looking area on my BRUTE mixing can, not sure if its an imperfection from manufacturing or if my heaters did it? Can they get hot enough to melt a hole in plastic surrounded by water? I just hang them loose over the edge and they sway in the current of the...

so my hammer has dropped two heads in the last two months, each is about 1" in diameter when extended. The first time I thought it simply broke off, but is it self proping like how a leather pinches off arms? Its interesting, the dropped heads have embedded into the sand at the bottom of the...

Hi All, My landlord has had a few contractors by to look at our 1920 woodframe house to get the foundation retrofitted (actually replaced). This of course will require the lifting of the house off the brick foundation. I know they have computer controlled hydraulic jacks that keep the house...

Hi All, Think my shocks are blown, I have no idea how old they are, but the truck is a 95 and they could very well be the originals. I towed a boat on 880 with a tongue weight of around 300lbs, I think hitting the bumps, dips, and pot holes at 55mph killed them, the rear end is sitting a...

Hi all, Any suggestions on good media bags that will keep Seachem, everything I ordered the little grains of the media still find a way to get out. Thanks, Josh PS: And if any LFS carry them that would be a HUGE plus.

How tough are those little buggers? Since they feed off rotting debris on the beach and in tidal pools it would seem they can handle poor water quality? I was thinking they might help speed up the bacteria pop in the cycling tank, since they excrete pure uric acid into the sand along with...

Hi All, So I'm in the process of buying a used boat from private party and was thinking it sure would be easier to use PayPal then try to get all that money into my checking account. What are the transaction fees in doing a sale like this? Any tips in setting up a PayPal account? Thanks...

just started cycling a tank in the living room, put in a cocktail shrimp and a few mysis cubes to start it off and man is it rancid! Its stinking up the whole house, anyone have any recommendations on odor control? Wishing I had some cured rock in there....its all dry/base. Thanks, Josh

trying to figure the best way (or if its worth it) to ship a 17' Boston Whaler Montuak w/ trailer from Road Island to Berkeley. Option 1: Rent a truck and drive it (gas is cheap right now, and getting cheaper) Option 2: Rent a uHaul 24' and put the whole thing in the back (probably more...
