That would be cool if all you had to do to calm mean damsels was add a very small uv source to the tank. Makes me want to start a damsel tank and experiment.
I have about 550-600 pounds of live rock for sale. It was all fully cured, but it has sat out for a week. I will be reseeding it if you want to wait a few weeks or you can buy it dry. About 350 pounds are marco base rock and the other is marco fiji rock. I will weight the rocks out into lots...
I fed my fish yesterday twice as much as normal (which isn't really a lot as I am stingy) and I logging in today and saw that my orp had dropped about 15 down from the stable 310 to 295. After 12 hours it still is only at 300. This is the first time I have seen it drop that much from feeding. I...

I am looking to add a calcium reactor and I came across a lifereef LCR2. Are they a good reactor? Does anyone have any first hand experience with them?
What is the best way to move a lot of decent sized sps colonies? I was thinking of using a lot of buckets but I want to preserve the integrity of the corals as best as possible. What does everyone else do?
I have been keeping my eyes on the reef brite LED's (http://reefbuilders.com/2010/01/04/reefbrite-actinic-led-striplights-lighting-up-50-square-feet-of-r) and I was thinking of replacing my 2 130 watt pc bulbs from my 48" outer orbit fixture with them. For $260 for a 48" light it would be the...
Here are the Winners. There are 13 since we had a 3 way tie, so there will be an extra month in the calender. Somehow John got them all exactly.

I lol'd a lot... I will just say that it involved a reef tank with cgi box jellyfish, and a really hard acro (with a hammer and chisel and an apparent amount of effort to break) growing over sequins in two days.
I dosed sodium ascorbate in my tank on monday after using warner marines reef snow a few days prior. For the last three days my skimmer has been going insane and bubbling over with a stream coming out of the overflow cup attachment. I put some carbon in a bag in the sump under my return line. I...
Up until recently I didn't realize how much work is involved with operating a club and keeping it running. I have been helping my mom get a club going in her area and the work load is immense. It has made me appreciate Phyl and all the others that have put their time in to make the club as great...
I just saw this for the first time today. Pretty neat contest. If you win you get a published article and a nice light.

My mom got the itch after when she was babysitting the kids for the weekend during Macna. Since then she picked up a 26 gal bow front and just finished cycling her tank. After seeing how much fun Jess and I have with NJRC, she found out there isn't an active local club near her.
So she has...
I just added a bubble tip anemone to the tank and the same day my clownfish decided to start hosting... on my zoas. Previously they didn't care to be in anything. Are they practicing? Excited? Dumb? Is it a possibility that they will eventually try get used to the anemone or do they pick for...
I was thinking it would be neat to do an NJRC Calender for next year. I thought it could be a TOTM type thing or a vote on member submitted shots. I am willing to do the work if enough people are interested. What does everyone else think?
