I am giving away my 100 gal sump I made out of acrylic several years ago, I had it in the garage and the kids decided to climb into it while playing hide-and-go-seek. Needless to say it is cracked in a couple places. Only the baffles, none of the sides are damaged. It has 3 chambers, one was a...

I am selling one of my first tanks I made a few years ago. Junky looking really. It is measured something like 54x23x25 off the top of my head. I will measure it and post. It has an overflow with a 2" bulkhead. It is still in use. I would have to empty it when I see interest. It is made with...

Free- Frogspawn and Hammer LPS >20 heads. I live in Hunterdon County, Pittstown or you can come to where I work in Hamilton (near Trenton) to pickup. I am taking some tanks down and don't want them anymore. I am going to split some up so that a couple of people can enjoy them. They are green...

just curious. Has anyone looked at the tunze 6100 diy wavemaker on RC? I am thinking about making one. It is just an acrylic box and some electronics to run it. You have to have a Tunze 6100 or similar DC pump. Should I try it?

Here's Eric Borneman's recipe for NaOH (sodium hydroxide, or in lay terms, lye) mixed with kalk: APTASIA REMEDY Red Devil lye (Draino???) is the brand name. Drain cleaner and 100% sodium hydroxide. But...here's the good part. Dissociates completely in water into Na and OH-. Nothing changes but...

This is the Koralia 4 pump mod I demonstrated at the Sept 08 meeting at Ed's house.\ It is a real easy mod, just changing the impeller. It makes the Koralia 4 function like you wouldn't believe. :o I changed all of mine to this mod. Really, it isn't like the junky Maxijet mods we all tried to...

I have 3 gorman rupp magnetic pumps that I need to get race bearings for. These are just ceramic flat washers that have some lateral grooves etched into them. I am sure a plain ceramic flat washer would be fine, but I cannot find a place to sell me only a few. Any Ideas? :-\

How hot is your tank today? Mine is a whopping 86 degrees. Sold my chiller, and I didn't turn on the AC yet this year. Good thing i have a lot of my water in the basement where it is semi cool.

:'( Woke up today after working all night, haven't seen my system in 24 hrs. PH 9.19! 50 gallons of ro with kalk. >:( I turned on my Kalk/RO, put a rubber band on my hand to remember it was running. Only wanted it to run for 5 minutes. Then I went off to work. Dumb Dumb Dumb. I was in shock...

I am selling my large DIY beckett skimmer. Many of you have seen it at the meetings at my house. It is overskimming my 300 gallons. It was great when it was 500+ gal, but I have switched to another diy skimmer modeling an aqua c. If you need a photo, I will hunt one down. no pump, i used a...

I was wondering if anyone could come help me drill my tenecor acrylic tank in my family room. Here is the problem, I have very little clearance between the wall and the tank, and I am not moving the tank. I dont have a standard overflow to the basement, just a few "u" tubes. Once they lose their...

I have my new pump i bought at manhattan reefs swap. it is really noisy, i did what the directions said, twist it, move it left, right etc. i have it set at pulse, but the vibration sound is loud in my family room. is this normal?

My tank has tufts of this algae, it is killing my corals, my zoos, and anything it gets near. It just smothers it after a while. None of my tangs eat it, Kole nor Yellow. My lawnmower blenny stays away. All crabs avoid it. Emerald and hermit. What do I do? I just took every rock that had it out...

My clown stopped going near his anemone. They have been together for over a century. WHAT HAPPENED? what should i do?

I want to know, since I am removing all my plumbing in the basement and re-doing it. I have two redundant array pumps in case one fails, but they are too powerful when running together. They move 2200gal each. They are magnet pumps. I have two questions.\ 1.Which return pump runs the coolest. I...

I need to replace my four of my 250watt HQI mh bulbs. They are about 18months old. That is too old, right? I am currently running 12,000k I think. Maybe they are 15,000. not sure til I take them out. But what brand should I buy, does it really matter? Any ideas will be utilized. THANKS ;D

I use this treatment from Reef Central for Zoanthids. I even hang a printed copy on the wall in the basement with other treatments I cannot memorize, with this OLD BRAIN of mine. If there are encrusted SPS or LPS with the zoos, remove that first or death will be imminent. Mushrooms and Rics fare...

I cant figure out why this BTA keeps moving around. He wont stay in one place, i had to shut the power heads off. Last night he was on my seio powerhead. I guess he didnt like the koralia. How should i run the power heads and still protect him. I tried foam, but it clogs too fast. <img...

I am sorry, what did you say about my camera? OUCH! OK, laugh all you want.
