Be real careful with that lobster. Mine decide that my Dragonett was just way too slow, grabbed him and ate him. I watched him do it!!! He won't go for anyone else cause they hangout at the top of the tank.

So here is the problem. Mainly, it's my tank, which happens to be 56 gallons. yes, that is 30x18x24!!!! I am running way too many lights on the top, and I would like to clean it up. What can I possibly do, that will give me coverage along with some decent numbers for wattage and Par. I should...

Without a doubt. I know these guys very well, they are more than willing to try and help out. What do you have as far as your set up?? I am also in Browns Mills now, maybe I could even try and help. I used to live in Delran, that was THE store to go to. I make the trip now because I don't trust...

That's John W that you spoke with. If you take him the fish and some water, he will hook you up. They always make things right. If I am not mistaken, Those fish just arrived at the store last night. I was there earlier in the day and they were expecting a shipment. I never buy my fish the day...

Right off of 322 (black horse pike). Across from the Hamilton mall. I think the plaza is called the Festival Plaza, it's next to an Acme. They have only been open for about a month, but the fish have started to arrive. Very nice store. John M from Delran is actually running Mays Landing now.

Although the post may be 4 months old, I must say that I have had nothing but good experiences with the Pets Plus stores. I spent a lot of time at the Delran Store, and have no just started going to the brand new store in Mays Landing. Always helpful, always nice, and if they don't have it, they...

Don't add up is right. I have 3 degrees, this should not be so hard to figure out!!!!!!!!!! I am not running a skimmer, so we don't have to worry about it pulling salt out. The rocks how ever, were moved from an established tank in a "moist" state??? they were in buckets for about an hour, with...

And all at the same time, I have been keeping an eye on my 30, and every check is spot on 1.024. refract has to be right.

No, there is no live stock. Everyone is still waiting in the 30 gallon until this one is ready, nothing but rock. I don't get it either, but this is how it went. Day 1- Water goes in at 1.023 @ 80 degrees Day 21- Checked level, 1.018 @ 80 degrees Day 23- Changed 5 gallons of water, 1.030 @...

I actually have to top off the tank tonight, maybe a half gallon or so. I am going to check the salinity again, and hopefully I can get 3 readings on the scale. After that we can start to bring this down. Thanks for all the help.

I have another refract coming tonight to verify again. I did cal mine, but I figured I would try another just to make sure. I am basically just trying to avoid the whole "change and check" method. If there is a way to determine 6 gallons, 10gallons, whatever will fix it, that would be great. If...

I am using a refract, I threw out hydro's along time ago >:(. As far as the exact salinity, find the top of the chart, and you have it. I tested 3 times, only once did the salinity hit at 1.030. The other two times it was above, as far as I could tell since the gauge does not go above that.

I am currently moving everything from my 30 gallon reef to a 56 gallon. Here is the problem, I can not for the life of me get my salinity level to even out. I run my 30 at 1.024. After mixing my water for the 56 gallon, at 80 degrees, it went into the tank at 1.023. After 3 weeks of being in the...

Which Pets Plus did you go to??

Hello everyone. I am fairly new to Reefing, but I thought I could maybe help out a little bit. I was in Pets Plus in Delran NJ tonight, and while talking to the manager, he pointed out some new wholesale pricing. For example, they had Fire Fish priced at $7.88. They also had Purple Tangs priced...
