    November Meeting Bordentown, NJ 11-18-2007

    Last night when I got home from work I watched the Eagles game I had recorded and eat one full bag of the peppers. Me thought they were nice and tasty! Not too hot but a little kick to them. Thanks so much for them! Carlo

    November Meeting Bordentown, NJ 11-18-2007

    Yes if you are talking about the one on the Sports disk. It's great on the the 52" LCD screen too. But the Wii might get moved to a smaller 22" LCD because it's football day after all. :) Carlo

    November Meeting Bordentown, NJ 11-18-2007

    If it's half decent out some of the kids can play outside if they want. There's a tree house/fort and a basketball court. The backyard is fenced in too. I've got 2 kids and I'm sure some of them will want to play on the WII or maybe play board games or something. Should be a few things to do...

    November Meeting Bordentown, NJ 11-18-2007

    If anyone is bringing anything food/beverage wise and didn't put it on the list due me a favor and make a note here what you are bringing. I'm making a grocery store run right after church tomorrow and don't want to pickup anything someone is already bringing. I'm still at it. It's been a bad...

    For Sale/Trade at November Meeting

    Re: wish list for nov meeting If you are coming to the meeting on Sunday you'll see it. It looks fine except for no polyp extension. It's definitely going to be OK but I want it to get over the stress before cutting it. Hope you understand, Carlo

    For Sale/Trade at November Meeting

    Re: wish list for nov meeting If my Sunset Monti was in better shape I'd frag it on Sunday at the meetings. It's presently about 5" x 8" or something like that. Unfortunately since my power outages a couple of weeks ago it has had it's polyp's out (that I've noticed). So I don't want to stress...

    Wife is starting a small business here in NJ...any advice?

    Personally, since it's going to be a one-man show so to speak and she isn't going to need health insurance (assuming you have that covered) I wouldn't bother with a corporate structure (for now if ever) for her business. I'd assume she is mostly going to be working with smaller store and the...

    Free Cheato for November meeting

    Re: NEED CHAETO BADLY for November meeting pickup Honestly, you only need a handful to get started. If you have nitrates and phosphates it will grow pretty well and you'll have more then you need in no time. I've recently started adding phosphates to my tank because all my macros and some fauna...

    How often do you change your filter sock.

    The bungy cord idea is awesome Phil. I never thought of something like that! Carlo

    RODI advice

    Distilled water is usually perfect water to use. If done correctly is actually even better then most RO/DI water. Carlo

    RODI advice

    I'm interested in what Russ recommends also as my process is probably overly complex. What I do is every 3 months use a solution of half bleach and water with a small brush. Then I rinse the container and use a washcloth with a declorinator product to go over the whole inside of the container...

    Sulfur Denitrator: Who's running one?

    The Matrix I originally referred to isn't the Matrix Carbon Seachem makes. I hope that wasn't what you used John (although it won't hurt anything). The Matrix product I was referring to is this http://www.seachem.com/products/product_pages/Matrix.html I've since changed the media I use as I...

    chaeto

    While you can do it, I wouldn't since you probably won't gain anything from it. The reason to use Cheato (or other macro algae) is to consume nitrates & phosphates and then to be able to export it from the system by discarding part of the macro. If the fish are eating it then the nitrates and...

    Cause of High Nitrates???

    Canister filters themselves aren't a nitrate sponge. It's only bad husbandry that causes the problem. They do their job very well by trapping debris in the water. It's up to the operator to clean the unit every 4 to 7 days. You don't really have to worry about loosing any good bacteria in a...

    Cause of High Nitrates???

    I think DaveK answer is right on the money so I'll second his answer. :) The only little thing I'll add is that you probably should remove the noodles but do so over a period of time. Remove a little bit each week when you do the water change. The reason for the slow removal is to not upset the...

    Here's my Big Office System

    Re: Here's my 120 Don't feel bad. I'm in the same boat too. I need to increase my return rate and my Sequence is maxed out. What I'm thinking of doing is running two pumps in parallel instead of in series. I might try and use the second pump to divert a few "internal circulation" things first...
