Time for an NJRC road trip? We could go down and give Ken a hand.

No. I run mine the same as my reef tanks, 1.022-1.024.

Moderate flow would be 7-10 x turnover rate so for a 30 gallon tank you'd be looking at 250-300 gph. Now you can go a little higher if you use flare nozzels on your returns instead of a straight round return. The flare will disperse the flow better. Bare minimum flow would create dead spots in...

Sam, I'll give you any advice I can. Here's some of the more important steps in keeping seahorses successfully, cooler temps, 72-74F, moderate flow with areas of lower flow for the seahorses to rest as they aren't the strongest of swimmers. No special lighting is needed and actually intense...

It's an algae. Can't remember the actual name of it though.

Thanks Don. I'll bring my old ones up with me.

Is the club still recycling light bulbs? I'm about to change out my T5's and was wondering.

Thanks. Hopefully we can work something out.

Ok I am definitely interested in the 36" bulbs if Darren can bring them to the meeting. I can PayPal you the money tonight or pay Darren on Saturday, whichever you prefer.

Please don't feed by hand for your safety. Use tweezers, tongs or a feeding stick. Lion dorsal spines are venomous and they are a very fast fish when they feed and a huge risk of you getting stung. Well I would start cycling that upgrade now because lions grow fast. I'd say 4-5 months at the...

Len, great looking fish. Did they tell you what species of lion that was? It doesn't look like any of the dwarf species to me. Which in that case it will outgrow that 30 cube in no time and will get large enough to eat the angler. As for keeping anglers long term, they need a mixed diet of...

Is it just the bulbs or bulbs and fixture? I read it as just bulbs. Also is 20 the correct price?

Be very careful mixing these 2 types of fish. They both will eat anything that can fit in their mouth, which is roughly the size of their own body. Which means, they can try to eat each other which would result in death. Both of these fish have very slow metabolism and shouldn't be fed foods...

put a sponge in the bowl of water. It has more surface area that will allow the water to evaporate more raising the humidity. The bowl doesn't provide enough surface area to evaporate enough water.

Mark, have you tried something like this yet? http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752587&lmdn=Reptile You can make one from any plastic container, some airline and an inline air valve.

Any chance you're going to the meeting next week?

How far out of level is it? What type of floor? Easiest way would be to shim the stand if it's less than an inch out of level.

Room temperature or even warmer. A small desk lamp shining on them works fine. Brine shrimp hatching is temperature dependent, the colder it is the longer it takes them to hatch. Ideal temp is 78-82F.

Or you can just use decapsulated eggs in a 2l soda bottle hatchery and still not have the mess.

Last time I checked 55 gallon tanks were made from all tempered glass so drilling them is not an option.
