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.
It's not the cost, just make sure what ever you get is a heavy gauge wire. If you have to use an extension cord on a fish tank, the best thing is the heavy duty appliance ones.
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...
Well typically once it is glued it is done. We don't recommend reusing any fittings that are on any line with pressure going through it. The rain or shine is a little thicker, but the gray heavy duty glue with a 24 cure time is you best bet if you do try and reuse the fitting. Personally I...
I used it when I moved my tank. My experience with it was good. I hardly got a cycle at all. There is also a cheaper product that works just as well. But I can't remember the name. It is $7 a bottle. I will post the name when I can remember it.
I have really liked my reefkeeper elite. It has 8 controllable sockets, which you can add to and also it has switch ports which are great for controlling an autotop and you can use a flip switch on one port to shut off pumps and such when you are doing maintenance. They are promising a lot of...
I wouldn't mess with boiling, that sounds like a very dangerous idea. Basically I did the same thing as the link ricwilli posted, but I bleached first.
I just saw this for the first time today. Pretty neat contest. If you win you get a published article and a nice light.

When I recycled my used sand, I used a small amount of bleach and then rinsed the sand in a large bucket with a hose at the bottom and then rinsed from bucket to bucket. It does take a lot of time and water to do this, but I have never had any ill consequences from this. The tank that I used it...
I think I will leave it open and go by the votes. I was going to say no FTS, but then when I look at RC's TOTM Pics I change my mind. So let's just see what people come up with. Also we only have a month for pics so I don't want to be too picky.
I got really busy and had a lapse of memory about my intentions to start this thread.
Calender pricing will be worked out after I speak with the Officers.

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...
A trick people use to detach anemones from rocks is to hold them upside down out of the water and spray them with water until the detach. The guide I was reading said the process could take up to 30 minutes, so I think you would be fine. Don't be surprised if you cut the branches off and the...
Yeah the article is where I read about it. I tried it spraying on a rock that I had a really bad algae infestation on. It was clean in two days. I had a few sps on it that lost some of their color but all of them have recovered and are still healthy. (excluding a small loss in color)
The...
