WOW! Great prices on bulbs. I'll have to give them a try!

+1 on socaltropicalfish.com. Got a GREAT deal on my MP40's and an MP10.

I'll contribute. mrcoral.com for cheap frags. I bought a whole bunch of frags at really good prices, some of which I'll be selling soon. Check out the $10 section.

i cut up 8, 9, and 10mm knittling needles for my aquascaping. works very well to join rocks together with the option of rearangeing. i recommend drilling as many holes as possible in the rocks without so you can adjust or add stuff if needed. this is the cheapes price i found http://www.overstock.com/Crafts-Sewing/Crystalites-Acrylic-10-inch-Knitting-Needle-Assortment/3343924/product.html?cid=123620&fp=F&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=11436358

but sometimes you can find them on clearence at Hobby Lobby for $0.70 for two!

Sicce 5.0 pumps at gabes for $189. I'm using one on my new tank, and I haven't found a better on-line price yet.
