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.
qwik thanks for the comments. As always the tank is a work in progress and I look forward to the growth and changes. Everything has been doing great and I actually just added a maxima today ;D The pics are too large to load here so please check my full post on nano-reef for new pics...
Yes I have had two small scratches on the acrylic. But that was dues to the rocks accidentally falling when I was scaping the tank. Luckily it is on the bottom back side so not noticeable. Remember you have to be very carefully or it will scratch. Just make sure you get the acrylic mag-float if...
Mnat - yeah I did find out about the cover just last week. The mesh did come with my mp10 and was just sitting in the box this entire. But it's on now and I'm leaving on since my cleaner shrimp likes to hang out close to the wave action. At least I know I should be ok with the next nem. Will let...
Hawkey - I would love to come to the meetings and perhaps join the club but I'm sitting in Newark as a airport ready crew today so I don't think I will be able to go. Unfortunately as a rather junior member on our pilot seniority list, I am on a reserve schedule from month to month so I usually...
Nice score mnat. I saw the pearlberry too and it looked great. I think there was 2 of them. I might grab one if I'm back this week. You should post a pic of your find ;) As for the nem, he is not doing so well. He's starting to fall apart but hasn't begin to smell yet so I'm still trying to keep...
I got mine through John from Advance Acrylics in Califorinia. Great quality just be careful to check when you receive it as UPS has a bad habit of damaging it during shipping. Good luck and be sure to post pics when you do get one. I love rimless :)
Yeah it was about an hour with lite traffic. I actually made the trip because I like to check out what other stores have as far as variety goes and also the 25% off was an incentive too. I usually go to Hidden Aquarium most of the time, and have gone to Allquatics but they are small and hit or...
I took him out of the main tank and had him in a little container but than a few people over nano-reef pointed out that its more stable in the main tank. So I currently have him back the main tank inside the breeder box. I'll just keep checking on him from time to time to make sure he's not...
Yeah, I'm doing a small 10% water change since I just did a 20% change yesterday. Do you think this is enough or should I up it to 20-25%? Keeping my fingers crossed but I guess only time will tell. And yes I was yelling at the nem while my fiance was laughing at me for talking to my nem and...
Mnat, yes that was me..it was beautiful under my 20k 150w MH. However for the bad news, the nem somehow got detached from a rock that it was on last night and got sucked into my MP10. I usually run the MP10 at 80% reef crest. But since I new the nem might be moving around I turned the MP10 down...
Thanks ricwilli, I like the my scape and the top down looks much better in person. The pics were taken with my iphone so pics are crappy. I need to get a new camera since I took my last one diving and the case leaked busting my camera up :(
Mnat, I'll be there around 2-2:30 so maybe I'll see you there. I'm the asian guy with the BMW Z4. I hope you're right about the rbta..I will get one today if they have nice colors ;D
mnat, thanks for the info. I might head over to Trop tomorrow if I have time. Hopefully the will still have the sale if I do stop by:) I'll keep you posted if I pick anything up.
I'm not sure where Trop is at but I'm in Princeton. Do you remember how much they are? If they are nice as you say I might have to take a ride there. I usually go to Hidden Reef or OC II.
Thanks for the compliments guy. Yea I was contemplating on a nem but was afraid it might move around too much a sting other tank mates. But I think I might just go ahead and get a rbta in a few days:)
I just picked up a pair of picasso clowns from Hidden Reef for $120 which is a great price from what I was told as "A" grade. They still have a 5-6 pairs left if your into clowns:)Here's a pic of my pair.
I'm keeping everything pretty simple. Display tank is 1/2" acrylic 20x20x15 from Advance Acrylic with 1" drains and 3/4" return. Flow is from MP10. Lighting is a cheap fishneedit 20k 150w MH. Sump is a basic 5.5g with diy baffles for fuge, bubble trap, and return. In sump I have a Eheim-Jager...
