Free to a good home! We are moving and will be in an airbnb until our new house is finished. Because of a construction delay I can't take this with me from NJ to FL, it's just not possible unfortunately. It's been running since 2010 and its current inhabitants are a male yellow shrimp goby...

So I was changing my water last night and all of the sudden a bunch of what I thought was copepods exploded out of nowhere. I'm pretty sure it was peppermint shrimp. The bangaii cardnal made short work of em

Hi All... I got a Bangaii cardinal last night from OGII. He's active and will chase after food but just spits it out. I've tried: Larry reef frenzy (soaked in garlic) Hikari frozen Brine and Mysis shrimp Hikari Krill Hikari Squid Life Specturm pellets Is it just not ready to eat or is this...

So I ran out of my regular salt (red sea coral pro). Had some old reef crystals in the basement and mixed up a batch. PH good, salinity good, cool. Change water and everything looks good. Repeat once more... Hmm... corals dont look normal. Test newest batch of seawater to find that Dkh...

Is there any place in NJ that stocks water storage tanks? I want to build a mixing/storage station but don't want to pay $200 for shipping two $75 tanks. I saw TSC has the 65 gallon one from norweso but the price for two of those is the same as if I shipped two of the 50 gallon ones from NTO Tank

Hello... I'll do my best to describe this. I just fed the fish about two hours ago. It was frozen Hikari krill and mysis shrimp. I had to put extra in there, trying to get the box fish to eat. He's slow to eat and the others in the tank eat everything first. My filefish seemed fine before...

Hello All... I have decided to upgrade from a 20L nano. I'm guessing this will take at least a year to complete while I gather equipment, advice, and of course knowledge. The tank is an AGA 120 Gal 48x24x24 it's roughly 10 years onld and has sat in the basement with no water (I'm guessing...

I need a good suggestion for a stand. I have an AGA 120 that I will use for a build in the future and I want to know my options for furniture. 1. I have no wood working skills or wood working tools 2. I like the glasscages.com style with the option for a side door so I can slide the sump in...

Hi All... It's been a while since I was on here. I'll start by saying that my tank was doing very well at 18 months of age. I battled and defeated cyano 3 months ago but sadly the tank took a downhill turn roughly 6 weeks ago. First, my corals were closing. I changed the light and tested the...

Hi All... I just changed my sediment and carbon filters in my 4 stage RODI unit. I noticed that the snow white sediment filter turned sandy brown after only 25 gallons. I don't remember it discoloring so fast whent I first got it. Does that seem normal? I don't have a TDS meter, but I will...

Help, I need a Mac OS9 CD Don't laugh, I just need it:tennis: I sold all my mac stuff years ago so I didn't keep any of my stuff

I have 10 or so blue leg hermits in my 20L. The dispatched a few nesarius snails and took the shells. I have no nesarious left and only one empty shell in the tank. I have found the remnants of two hermit crabs over the last few weeks so I'm wondering if I need to get some bigger shells for...

Ok, I've got my first problem. I've noticed one rock getting covered with red slime. I researched and found that it's Cyano. Right now it's only one one rock and covers a few square inches. There is one small ball shaped sponge that is covered and two small sponge babies. I'd like to remove...

My tank is now a reef... I picked up a 2 headed frogspawn frag yesterday for OGII. It was closed up when I got it home so I positioned it in between two rocks and it seemed to fit nicely. It opened up all the way about 2 hours later. I noticed that it closed up a little when I turned off the...

Hello All... I have one larger piece of live rock that nobody on the CuC will touch and it's also in a bad spot for my queen conch. It's also covered in gray detritus that i want to give a quick scrub to. The CuC has cleaned all the other rocks with the same detritus on it but they won't...

My queen conch has burried itself in the sand and hasn't moved for a day or so. Is this normal behavior? It usually cruises back and forth sucking up the food that falls to the bottom. I even saw it catapulting over a rock the other day. I read on other forums that some have burried...

ok, I started a 20L 8 days ago. I used 20 lbs. of arag-alive sand from caribsea 10 lbs of LR from the LFS and 10 lbs of LR from another NJRC member's sump. During the last 8 days I definitely had nice levels of Amonia, Nitrates, and Nitrites. As of yesterday, those level are all 0 My guess is...

I just setup a 20L nano with a sump. I have an eshopps pf-nano overflow draining into the first part of the sump were the skimmer will go. My heaters are also in that compartment too. I haven't setup the skimmer yet. Right now there's a ton of bubbles flowing into that compartment. 1. Do I...

I have a 20L thats about 5 days into it's cycle. Total water volume is about 25 Gallons with the sump. There's about 25 lbs. of LR and 20 lbs of LS. I checked the levels and while I don't remember the numbers. There was Amonia, Nitrates, and Nitrites present. The PH was a little above 8.4 I'm...

Ok here we go... I'm setting up a 20L nano reef with a 11.25 gal sump. I have all the equipment that I need to start and I've been putting it off because of power outages, Christmas etc. I'm doing it this weekend! How does this sound? My plan is to: 1. Put 30 gallons of RO water into the...
