Congrats! Where did buy him? I have a green mandarin from Albany Aquarium. He eats frozen bloodworms. They get all their mandarins to eat them before they sell them.

I am going. Just booked my flight. Kinda excited about it! I have never been to an aquarium show.

Wow, I think that is one of the most beautiful tank stands I have ever seen. I have designed cabinets and built some of my own furniture. Must say the quality and details are impressive. Access doors are a great idea.

Interesting. I picked up two for Felicia yesterday but did not see those lids. I got the same blue lids that I have. They had white lids similar to these without the spout. But, they did not fit the buckets well.

FYI folks, I came across this while on Amazon yesterday. It is the same bucket I got at Lowes. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ZZY7LS/ref=s9_simh_gw_p328_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0YC7J8QAXBJ3DMVE3FYP&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846

Yes, they were in the paint dept. I think they are for mixing paint additives.

I drive by Lowes in Concord every weekend when I visit my mother. I will pick up a couple and give them to you on Thursday. David

Lowes also has clear buckets that are calibrated. Gallons on one side, liters on the other. I bought a couple of them and use them for water changes. Makes it very easy to measure out the water. These buckets come with blue, snap-on lids. But, these lids are not as secure as the white ones.

I think Lowes sells white 5 gallon buckets with lids in their paint dept.

Suppose this thread is quite old but you might want to try a penetrating epoxy. Smiths is a excellent brand and they are located in Richmond near 580. Their products are also sold in marine supply stores. Swendsens in Alameda carries their stuff.

Thanks for the info. Felicia. Been thinking of buying a shrimp for my Biocube 14g. Will these shrimp bother my corals? FYI folks, I have two Turbo snails from Diablo Corals and they really eat the algae. They are also surprisingly fast. David

Thanks Felicia! You have a wealth of knowledge. David

Sorry, Meant to write 1ml. David

Great to meet everyone and I was happy to learn more about water flow and water chemistry . Felicia, How much Revive did you say to use on the Frags? 10ml? Nice work on the event today! Thanks, David

Hope to stop by Reef Raft this weekend. Picking up my 50 gallon Artisan in San Jose Sunday. Hopefully the "High Command" (aka my wife) will allow a detour on the way home!

Sorry about the double post. My computer or the website locked up for a moment?

I would also recommend Aquarium Concepts and Aqua Exotic. While I would never buy anything from 6th Avenue Aquarium I must say that it a visit there with my 6 year old son inspired me to finally start a SW tank. He was thrilled to see SW fish up close. david

Aquarium Concepts and Aqua Exotic would also get my vote. While I would never buy anything from 6th Avenue Aquarium I must say that a visit there with my 6 year old son inspired me to finally start a SW tank. He was thrilled to see SW fish up close for the first time! David

I was thinking the booze would be good for those SW veterans who will endure all my questions. Sounds like a notebook & a camera are in order. Now if I can only remember how to operate my wife's camera?!

Felicia, OK, I will be there full of stupid newbie questions. What should I bring? Notebook? Camera?Vodka; maybe Scotch? David
