    Potassium permanganate http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-09/eb/index.php I haven't used some of the newer coral dips on the market but never found one that killed the eggs, potassium permanganate will kill them with the right dosage and duration.

    That doesn't keep it from loading and running. Besides, I'm not online at 2am when most are chatting in there. I see chat at 2pm saying good morning. lol

    coral thieves strike again!

    Not sure why they would make that decision but it may have something to do with the ongoing costs of having an alarm. I pay a monthly fee for monitoring whereas the video system is a one time cost. Was there any mention that the store even had insurance on the inventory?

    coral thieves strike again!

    I'm not sure a store owner with all that video equipment installed could convince his friend or brother to break into the store to commit fraud. There are so many venues to move this stuff now it would be easy. Nearly impossible to do a positive ID on the livestock so it will have to be the...

    Please welcome our two newest MODS!

    With Gumbii as a mod the overheard would be much higher since we'd all need to have decoder rings issued to read the PM's sent to us by him.

    What is your guys take on this?

    I had that stuff in my frag system here at the shop 3-4 years ago. Nothing will eat it that I found. I'd had run-ins with the red version of this but never the namesake blue green version until that. I cleaned and siphoned until I couldn't take it anymore. Ended up treating with erythromycin and...
