  1. News feed and Twitter?

    Hey all. Looking for some good blogs and news items for my news readers. Anyone want to share their favorite RSS feeds?

    Also, anyone on Twitter? Seems the only people I can find are just businesses that rarely want to talk about trends and opinions, and advertise.

    Thanks!
  2. Covers?

    There seems to be some written, not a lot, but some opinions as to whether to cover the display tank with glass covers or not. I'm quickly gaining a lot of trust in the replies posted here... so what do you think?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Noticed these on my glass the other night. Can really only see them when you look up at an angle towards the lights. They look like smeared finger prints. I also think maybe they be from the snails slime while they are hanging out on the glass. I've tried scrubbing, rubbing, and scrapping but nothing really works.

    Anyone have any idea what might these be from and how I could get them off?
  4. DIY Refugium

    Hi All,
    About four weeks into my son's reef build we ran across a used 35G aquarium for $20! So of course we bought it and went to work building a fuge (prior to finding this site). Seems to have made a huge difference in the tank chem... but we are still getting some micro bubbles in the display tank. Wondering if anyone has any wisdom for us? I think it is running about 500gph.... the drawings are below (not to scale):

  5. New member saying hi!

    Marc,

    Just wanted to stop by and offer my support for your great site and say thanks for the "look down box". Got some great shots with it! I'm afraid RC lost out on a valuable community member for sure.
