Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
What kind of light is that? If I understand you correctly, you plan to keep corals, in which case the type, quality and quantity of light is of utmost importance. Please research carefully and familiarize yourself with type of lights available (PC, T5, MH, etc) and light needs of individual...
Re: NEED CHAETO BADLY for November meeting pickup
Single strand grows 3-4" per day in a very strong flow (directly attached to the ouput of the powerhead)
I am doing some experiments with it ;D
It traps uneaten food, deutris and any free floating particle matter, so that they could be removed before they start to decompose in the sump or somewhere else. It is basically a very fine mechanical filter media over the overflow's return pipe.
In general tempering of any material includes heating it to almost melting point, and then cooling it fast. This fast cooling captures the stress in the material and makes material stronger (but at the same time more brittle).
Re: Here's my 120
You will have two inputs into the pipe (two pumps) and multiple outputs ("ports") from the pipe. So what is the point of pushing everything through that one pipe? Just simply create two separate lines, and you can have multiple advantages - redundancy, increased flow and...
Without knowing the size and which pieces were cut (geometry of the cuts, and how many) and what you used for cutting and how long it was exposed an handled, it is a bit hard to say.
That the frags of other corals have died, indicate that the mother colony and its frags were so stressed that...
I placed my frogspawn and anchor in shade and in corners where there is very little flow. They really don't like high flow. And they can have a nice growth without too much light.
If you have stony corals, the easy way to lower your Alk is to simply dose ONLY the Ca supplement (Ca part of two part solutions or Liquid Ca sold separately). Of course dose it only as much as the corals demand it. SPS corals in my 75g will drop Alk from 150 to 100 ppm in less then a week if I...
Are you atlking about the overflow box or just a plain box cover? If you are close to Manhattan, there is a store on Canal street that sells variety of acrylic products. On the other hand, if you are looking just for a plain masking box, then why don't you simply made it from any color (or...
Re: NJRC Clownfish Squishy Thing
I have to stea.. I mean rescue mine from my kids, and i would love to have a few of them more. So, I will propose to add the squishy to these things that club sells (T shirts and such). I wouldn't be surprised if you could sell a few of those both to members in...
Couple of thoughts from me:
- As far as the general dimensions: 9" of water, and 6" of air, most of the corals can handle that. It is very dependent on type of coral, so, for example, that would be a boundary for some Montiporas (from y personal experience) where M. danae species (Supermans...
