I can swap patrol. Someone needs to keep an eye on the other two.

I'm in.

I can do registration at 10:00-11:15 and then switch to the BAR table from 11:15-12:15 -Russell

Semiconductor chip engineer making a DNA sequencing chip. Sometimes feels like cat wrangling. -Russell

Crap. I knew I forgot to do something. Please sign me up for check in/reg/runner. And, of course clean up after. -Russell

Hi everyone, My original tank sitter changed plans at the last minute and I need some help. Can someone near Fremont tank sit for me? I'm having the house tented for termites and found out I also have to head out of town for a few days. If someone is willing, I'd like to drop off the...

I knew there was something I forgot to do last week. :) Please sign me up for the BAR table from 11:45-12:30 and the door from 1:00-2:00 -Russell

If someone feels a bit uncomfortable about being a pit boss but want to volunteer, you can move me to pit boss and free up a slot for check in. I'm pretty sure at some point, I've accidentally killed enough stuff to be decent at identifying coral. -Russell

Please sign me up for check in. And if you need an additional body, feel free to add me to pit boss as well. -Russell

I always remove my rics by using a pair of bone shears on the rock underneath the foot. That way, I can superglue the thin layer of rock to another. If you are splitting for propagation, going through the mouth with a razor blade is preferred. But, I've seen them be ok after taking off 1/4 or...

I run a 7gal without a skimmer. My nutrient export consists of a 1gal water change every 4 days and a small clump of chaeto in an HOB on the back. I use the HOB as a tiny fuge and a place to put a bag of carbon. If it wasn't for the lighting fan, my tank would be almost silent. -Russell

Can I queue up for a couple? I don't need any more than that since I've only got a 6gal tank. -Russell

To nuke the mushrooms which used to live in my tank, I used boiling RO water with a saturated level of kalk. I dosed it on top of the mushroom using airline tubing connected to a 20ml syringe. It's not as messy as kalk paste and hopefully less likely to hose the stuff next to it. No need to...

My now 8 year old clownfish used to sleep on top of a MicroJet. It was his favorite spot until a ricordea grew big enough to be a "preferred spot"

I'm in Fremont. It sounds like iCon is in SF. But, if you find yourself down in the South Bay, you are welcome to it. -Russell

Monzer, Sure. I can make you one. Let me do some pruning this weekend and we can meet either at the swap in Aug or earlier. Where are you located? -Russell

Link, My offer still stands. You are welcome to my spare. -Russell

Link, I have a backup bulb (15k Ushio) with 8mos of use. You are welcome to use it. A black spot in the plasma envelope usually means the bulb filament is fried. How old is the bulb? -Russell

Beautiful piece Jon. I'll play and pick #2. -Russell

That's fairly common behavior for pistol shrimp. I lost quite a few nassarius before I realized what was happening. Between that and the OCD digging, both the shrimp and goby had to go.
