    Needed: little plastic "grill" cover for MJ900/1200 Pt Monmouth NJ

    For the life of me I can't find the silly little plastic grill cover that fits on my mj900's or 1200's... I've lost a couple small fish to them in the past w/o the cover so I don't want to put them in the tank w/o one. Does anyone have an extra or two they would sell me or know where I can get...

    RODI question

    Probably one of those things I should know... but I don't ;) I have the WaterGeneral RD 102 from ebay, been running for just over 2 years. I've replaced the prefilter & two carbon filters once so far, removed discolored and added fresh resin only a couple times. My TDS is 143 tap and 0 coming...

    Does anyone have a parrotlet?

    Just curious if anyone here has a pet parrotlet? We're considering adding one to the family next spring (when my daughter is 5) and would love some first hand stories. I always had birds growing up, from budgies to a cockatoo but it's been years since we've had a bird... my daughter has been...

    Could it be? Baby seahare?!?!

    Not sure if anyone remembers, several months ago I purchased a seahare to help with some of the nuisance alage in my 70g... it ate 1/2 the algae, laid a mass of yellow spaghetti looking eggs and then died. The comments here were to remove the eggs as they were likely infertile and could mess...

    Ebay buyer issues, what would you do?

    I sold my 50g tank on ebay yesterday, it was sold as a cash on pickup or paypal only auction. I just received a message from the buyer saying they have had some sort of undisclosed car issue and they want me to hold the tank for a couple weeks and they can send me a money order deposit. This...

    Any turbotax experts? Question regarding inheritance & NJ tax forms

    Used turbotax online to do our taxes this year, had everything ready to go when we received a letter from the estate from which my husband received an inheritance this past year.

    We're going out of town soon, I have a friend coming in during the week but she can't come on the weekend. We leave Friday early afternoon, and she won't be here until Monday late morning. I'm a stay at home mom so I typically feed several small meals though out the day... what preparations...

    Break it to me gently... it's bryposis isn't it

    It started as a small patch in my 70g, the tank is new (last June/July) so I didn't bear it much thought. Then I had two patches, that were growing and over-taking zoas. I stupidly tried manually removing some while my pumps were on and wearing my rubber gloves... you guessed it, it slipped from...

    When will I learn...

    that you can't walk by the tank, when you have 100 more important things you're supposed to be doing and think "oh let me reposition that powerhead a bit, and oh look the stupid rotating hydor isn't rotating let me fix that real quick will not end until - you knock the front guard off the...

    Was rear ended yesterday, confused with insurance/law in NJ.

    My daughter and I were rear ended last night while at a stop sign going from rt 35 to another street, thankfully the explorer that hit my mariner wasn't going very fast so everyone was ok. My bumper (which has the backup sensors) is trashed and will need to be replaced. I immediately called the...

    another phosban reactor question

    I just got my viaaqua reactor, the directions leave something to be desired and just direct you to see the instructions included with your media, and my little jar of phosban just says to make sure the flow is restricted enough to prevent the granules from tumbling, which would grind them into...

    Need someone with PVC experience near Middletown

    This is a stretch but I have no idea who to call for this so I figured it couldn't hurt asking here... maybe someone has PVC experience (and the right tools) and I could hire them :) The pvc venting for our furnace in the basement was installed with a negative pitch, from my guess whoever...

    phosban reactor recommendation please

    I've got a bit of an algae issue in my 70g, presumably because I've been a bit lax in keeping my skimmer cleaned out (it uses bioballs internally) and my sump could use a cleaning. I pull out as much as I can but I'm not very good at it (thick rubber gloves I use make it difficult to get a grip...

    Who's our resident seahorse expert?

    I'd love to chat with whomever is our seahorse expert, or anyone who keeps them. I lost my juvi green spotted puffer this week (reason unknown, other two fish are in perfect health) and I've decided against another puffer. Transfered the other 2 fish in the tank to my 70g and have been...
