  1. I would like to announce that since the the current Admin here are all extremely busy, and are having a very hard time keeping up with the day to day running of the site.

    I'am pleased to be bumping up Nick *Sam Chicklets* as a Admin to help with things around here.

    Nick has shown through his postings and general helpfulness to be a natural for this position.

    Please give him some time to get used to all the infinite power and and increased male enhancement that comes with being a Admin.

    Thankyou everyone,

    Jay.

  2. male is definitely green terror.

    the little uglier one almost seems to be a type of amphilophous species.

    possibly zaliosum?

    uhh i would have to say impressive fish.

    i want that big GT

    Quinn

    I agree with Quinn.

    The larger one is definitely a male Green Terror and the second one is too hard to tell.

    LFS/LPS = local fish store/local pet store (also see below under "Reef-specific")

    NTD = neon tetra disease

    QT = quarantine

    RTBS = red tailed black shark

    SAE/CAE = siamese algae eater/chinese algae eater

    SFF = siamese fighting fish

    SW = saltwater

    TB = tiger barb OR fish tuberculosis (depends on context)

    UGF = undergravel filter

    Water Quality-Specific Technical Acronyms:

    DOC = dissolved organic compounds

    GH = general hardness

    KH = carbonate hardness (german K spelling)

    PPM = parts per million

    RO/DI = reverse osmosis/deionization

    TDS = total dissolved solutes

    TWP = tap water purification

    Light-Specific Technical Acronyms:

    CRI = color rendering index

    MH = metal halide

    NO = normal output

    PC = power compact

    VHO = very high output

    WPG = watts per gallon

    Reef/Marine-Specific Acronyms:

    DSB = deep sand bed

    FO = fish-only (tank)

    FOWLR = fish-only with live rock (tank)

    LR = live rock

    LS = live sand

    RTN = rapid tissue necrosis

    SG = specific gravity

    SPS = small polyps stony (coral)

  4. I don't know how long the bacteria can survive out of a tan kwithout food.

    For your best chances keep the sponges moist but not submerged in water(you want good O2 exchange) and try to keep them warm(dont' leave them in the car all day).

    Good point. I do not drive to work, and thus do not have a car to leave them in, but I'll tell him not to put them in his.

    I'am not a PHD or anything, but in my opinion with out water movement and alittle heat of some sort the bacteria will die.

    Just tell him to rinse his media in the old water when he does a water change.

    That way the media will get clean, but still keep the bacteria alive.
